moment   toISOString       or format   - see below   http   momentjs com docs   displaying as-iso-string   Update Based on the answer  by  sennet and the comment by  dvlsg  see Fiddle  it should be noted that there is a difference between format and toISOString  Both are correct but the underlying process differs  toISOString converts to a Date object  sets to UTC then uses the native Date prototype function to output ISO8601 in UTC with milliseconds  YYYY-MM-DD T HH mm ss SSS Z    On the other hand  format uses the default format  YYYY-MM-DDTHH mm ssZ  without milliseconds and maintains the timezone offset   I ve opened an issue as I think it can lead to unexpected results

Answer in 2020  Includes Timezone Support  The problem we were having is that  by default  ISOStrings aren t localized to your timezone  So  this is kinda hacky  but here s how we ended up solving this issue   x000D   x000D      Imports Moment for time utilities     const moment   require  moment-timezone   moment   tz  America Chicago   format         Returns now in ISO format in Central Time    export function getNowISO       return    moment   toISOString true  substring 0  23  Z    x000D   x000D   x000D   This will leave you with an exact ISO-formatted  localized string  Important note  Moment now suggests using other packages for new projects

If you just want the date portion  e g  2017-06-27   and you want it to work regardless of time zone and also in Arabic  here is code I wrote   function isoDate date        if   date            return null           date   moment date  toDate           don t call toISOString because it takes the time zone into        account which we don t want   Also don t call  format   because it        returns Arabic instead of English      var month   1   date getMonth       if  month  lt  10            month    0    month           var day   date getDate       if  day  lt  10            day    0    day           return date getFullYear      -    month    -    day
