moment js is great but sometimes you don t want to pull a large number of dependencies for simple things   The following works as well   var tzoffset    new Date    getTimezoneOffset     60000    offset in milliseconds var localISOTime    new Date Date now   - tzoffset   toISOString   slice 0  -1        gt   2015-01-26T06 40 36 181    The slice 0  -1  gets rid of the trailing Z which represents Zulu timezone and can be replaced by your own

moment js FTW     Just convert your date to a moment and manipulate it however you please   var d   new Date twDate   var m   moment d  format    console log m      example output     2016-01-08T00 00 00-06 00   http   momentjs com docs

My solution without using moment is to convert it to a timestamp  add the timezone offset  then convert back to a date object  and then run the toISOString    var date   new Date       Or the date you d like converted  var isoDateTime   new Date date getTime   -  date getTimezoneOffset     60000   toISOString

Moment js solution to this is   var d   new Date new Date   setHours 0 0 0 0    m add m utcOffset     m   m toDate   toISOString      output  2019-07-18T00 00 00 000Z

This date function below achieves the desired effect without an additional script library  Basically it s just a simple date component concatenation in the right format  and augmenting of the Date object s prototype    Date prototype dateToISO8601String    function         var padDigits   function padDigits number  digits            return Array Math max digits - String number  length   1  0   join 0    number            var offsetMinutes   this getTimezoneOffset        var offsetHours   offsetMinutes   60      var offset   Z           if  offsetHours  lt  0        offset    -    padDigits offsetHours replace  -         00  4       else if  offsetHours  gt  0         offset         padDigits offsetHours     00   4        return this getFullYear                   -    padDigits  this getUTCMonth   1  2                  -    padDigits this getUTCDate   2                  T                 padDigits this getUTCHours   2                      padDigits this getUTCMinutes   2                      padDigits this getUTCSeconds   2                      padDigits this getUTCMilliseconds   2                offset      Date dateFromISO8601   function isoDateString          var parts   isoDateString match   d  g         var isoTime   Date UTC parts 0   parts 1  - 1  parts 2   parts 3   parts 4   parts 5          var isoDate   new Date isoTime         return isoDate            function test         var dIn   new Date        var isoDateString   dIn dateToISO8601String        var dOut   Date dateFromISO8601 isoDateString       var dInStr   dIn toUTCString        var dOutStr   dOut toUTCString        console log  Dates are equal       dInStr    dOutStr        Usage   var d   new Date    console log d dateToISO8601String       Hopefully this helps someone else   EDIT   Corrected UTC issue mentioned in comments  and credit to Alex for the dateFromISO8601 function
