dayjs

dayjs.toString() prints wrong time

import dayjs from "dayjs";

console.log(dayjs().startOf('day').format())  // 2024-06-21T00:00:00+08:00
console.log(dayjs().startOf('day').toString()) // Thu, 20 Jun 2024 16:00:00 GMT

The time in format() is correct.

The time printed by toString() is totally wrong.

why?

Solution

  • Actually, they are the same time. The toString() function of dayjs converts date to Greenwich Mean Time. Your first datetime is on GMT/UTC +08:00, but second one is on GMT +00:00. Thus, the difference of them is 8 hrs. Hope this can be helpful.
