I have the following date format 2022-07-20 and I would like to parse into the following format 2022-07-20T00:00:00.000Z

I'm using the following code

const main = () => {
  const day = '2022-07-20'

  const date = new Date()
  const result = parse(day.toString(), 'yyyy-MM-dd', date)

  console.log(result.toISOString())
}

And getting the following output 2022-07-19T21:00:00.000Z. I assume this happening because my timezone is UTC+3. How do I get it formatted as 2022-07-20T00:00:00.000Z?

What's the reason behind wanting this exact format? – Toni Bardina Comas Jul 20 '22 at 16:17

`new Date('2022-07-20').toISOString()` will output `'2022-07-20T00:00:00.000Z'` – evolutionxbox Jul 20 '22 at 16:19
@CcmU that method doesn't provide the desired output. – evolutionxbox Jul 20 '22 at 16:21
Have you tried to use [`Date.prototype.toLocaleString()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleString#try_it)? It could be used to obtain the date with the desired timezone and use that like in [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/54127122/10301322) – CcmU Jul 20 '22 at 16:26
I need to get Unix timestamp that starts at midnight of 20th of July – Rusty Gold Jul 20 '22 at 16:37
