NodeJS responded MySQL timezone is different when I fetch directly from MySQL

Question

When I request MySQL directly, I get back date in UTC (I set UTC in MySQL server), but with NodeJS I get UTC+2 local time zone data, why? How can I set NodeJS to get UTC?

Answer 1

You can also set the dateStrings property to DATETIME.

dateStrings: Force date types (TIMESTAMP, DATETIME, DATE) to be returned as strings rather then inflated into JavaScript Date objects. (Default: false)
