Methods

(static) dateToLocalIso(date) : {string}

Returns a local ISO string provided a Date object. This method can be used to convert a moment in time or a local ISO string into a local ISO string. It can also be used to convert any Date object into local ISO string.

Examples below are where the local (user's system) time zone is UTC-06:00
dateToLocalIso(new Date('2021-06-04T00:00:00-04:00')); -->'2021-06-03T22:00:00'
dateToLocalIso(new Date('2021-06-04T02:30:00Z')); -->'2021-06-03T20:30:00'
In this example the input ISO string is local, the output is the same:
dateToLocalIso(new Date('2021-06-04T02:30:00')); -->'2021-06-04T02:30:00'
In this example we just want to convert a Date object:
dateToLocalIso(new Date());

(static) dateToLocalIsoDateString(date) : {string}

Examples where local time zone offset is UTC-06:00
dateToLocalIsoDateString(new Date('2021-06-04T00:00:00-04:00')); -->'2021-06-03'
