How to get IST date time (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) in node js?

Question

The below code gave me IST time date

const x=new Date().toISOString().replace(/T/, ' ').replace(/\..+/, '')

Output: 2020-09-01 17:49:48

I want to get IST time instead of UTC which is

2020-09-01 23:20:48

How to get above output in node js.

`toISOString()` will give you the output in UTC. Consider using `moment.js` if you want time in specific timezones. — Anurag Srivastava, Sep 01 '20 at 17:56
Second on using `moment.js`, will save a lot of headaches when working with timezones. — Elbert Bae, Sep 01 '20 at 17:57

give correct date time but format is different. Can you help to get format mentioned in the question? – imsaiful Sep 01 '20 at 18:04
You can convert it to 24 hr format using `new Date().toLocaleString('en-US', {timeZone: 'Asia/Kolkata', hour12: false})` . After that treat it as a string and format it the way you want. – Anubhav Ujjawal Sep 01 '20 at 18:13

Install moment package and write the following two lines code to solve the problem:

var moment = require('moment');
console.log(moment().format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"));
