I am having a strange problem where a Date
changes when it is passed to API through $http.put, I suspect a timezone issue:
Datepicker triggers ng-change eve
I think it is a TZ issue, b/c the difference between your GMT+0100
and your StartDate=2014-06-09T23:00:00.000Z
is 5 hours.
.
Your local time is currently BST (British Summer Time) equivalent to GMT +1
This is going to be the default time when you make your API call.
However, the API was written by Google in California, and they are rather egocentric. Therefore, they're automatically converting the time since you're not providing any date
formatting "instructions".
In other words, Chrome does the conversion for you nicely when you print to the console.log()
, but when you make your $http.put
, Angular, without explicit formatting for you, makes the call using it's default TZ (which is PST
)
.
You need to force the date formatting to your locale.
Angular template
{{ date_expression | date : 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'}}
In JavaScript
$filter('date')(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
using localization
