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

After few frustrating hours, I found what was the problem

Short Answer: To convert time to utc, we need to use format()

Long Answer: Take the example

moment.utc(1559586600000).format('LLL')

.utc sets the isUTC flag to true.

When logging the date, the d key always shows the time in local timezone. (Which makes us believe its not working properly - as shown in your screenshot)

But we need to use .format to get the date/time in UTC format.

The above code returns June 3, 2019 6:30 PM which is the correct UTC time.
