Format Date as “yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'”

Question

I need to format a date as yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSS\'Z\' as specified by Parse\'s REST API for Facebook. I was wondering what the most lightweight

Answer 1

toISOString() will return current UTC time only not the current local time. If you want to get the current local time in yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ format then you should get the current time using following two methods

Method 1:

document.write(new Date(new Date().toString().split('GMT')[0]+' UTC').toISOString());

Method 2:

document.write(new Date(new Date().getTime() - new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60000).toISOString());
