Moment.js Convert Local time to UTC time does work

Question

I would like to use Moment.js to convert a local time to UTC equivalent. I believe that I have the correct method in place, but it does not alter the time.

Answer 1

Create a local moment object from you local time and convert it to UTC then format it, then create a new UTC moment from that formatted UTC string

var localDateString = '24/04/2019';
var localDateStringFormat = 'DD/MM/YYYY';

var utcMoment = moment.utc(moment(localDateString, localDateStringFormat ).utc().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ssZ'))

console.log(utcMoment);
