Why 1 day off when I try to convert date into toisostring in javascript?

I am trying to convert date object to ISOString() formate. But it return me 1 day off ( I mean it reduce 1 day ).
var fromDate = {
day:4,
month:5,
year:2012
}
var fromDateString = new Date(fromDate.year+'-'+fromDate.month+'-'+fromDate.day)
console.log(fromDateString.toISOString())

It is because of timezone, new Date() is in your current timezone, toISOString() is using standard timezone.

I have searched and I find best solution for every date object to convert in any format.
Comment if you agree?
var dateObj = {
day:2,
month:5,
year:2012
}
var date = new Date;
date.setFullYear(dateObj.year,dateObj.month-1,dateObj.day)
console.log(date)

How to convert the DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm format to epoch time using moment or js?

I have a date time picker and it omits date in format of a DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm a format. I want to convert it into epoch time to store it in the database backend.
I have tried using the following methods so far, but all of them return NaN as output:
var loadingPlannedUnTime = this.state.loadingPlannedUnTime;
console.log("normal conversion"+loadingPlannedUnTime);
//returns 9-08-2020 15:08:00
//Moment method
var loadingPlannedUnTime = moment(this.state.loadingPlannedUnTime).unix();
console.log("moemnt"+loadingPlannedUnTime)
//Returns NaN
//JS getTime() method
var pickupDateTime = new Date(this.state.loadingPickupTime);
var loadingPickupTime = pickupDateTime.getTime();
console.log("new date and gettime"+loadingPickupTime)
//Returns NaN
What is the correct method to convert it to epoch time?

https://momentjs.com/docs/
If you know the format of an input string, you can use that to parse a moment.
moment("12-25-1995", "MM-DD-YYYY");
const x = moment('24-12-2019 09:15', "DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm");
console.log(x.format())
<script src="https://rawgit.com/moment/moment/2.2.1/min/moment.min.js"></script>

const matches = loadingPlannedUnTime.match(/(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{2,4}) (\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2})/);
if (!!matches) {
// new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
const epoch = new Date(matches[3], matches[2] - 1, matches[1], matches[4], matches[5], matches[6]).getTime();
console.log(epoch);
}

Convert date format 27.05.2015 01:46:32.UTC to Locale time

Can anyone help me to convert date format 27.05.2015 01:46:32.UTC to Locale time.
I tried the following code
var date = new Date('27.05.2015 01:46:32.UTC ');
date.toString();
This is also not working.
Even momentjs is also gives error to convert this format of date.

As per statement even momentjs is also gives error to convert this format of date, I have taken liberty and used momentjs here.
You need to use string-format moment constructor to pass string and format in which input string is.
Use
var t = "27.05.2015 01:46:32.UTC";
//pass dateTime string and its format, it will return
//moment object
var cdt = moment.utc(t, 'DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm:ss');
//Get date object
var date = cdt.toDate();
//Use date variable as per requiremnt
alert(date);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.10.3/moment.js"></script>

The format you are using for Date is DD.MM.YYYY. So you have to change this to MM.DD.YYYY for a valid java script object.
var date = '27.05.2015 01:46:32.UTC';
var date1 = date.split(' ');
console.log(date1)
var date2 = date1[0].split('.');
console.log(date2)
var date3 = date2[1]+ '.' +date2[0] +'.'+ date2[2];
console.log(date3)
var final_date = date3 + ' ' + date1[1];
console.log(final_date);
final_date.toString();

What is the proper way to create a timestamp in javascript with date string?

I have date format returned as 05-Jan, 12-feb etc.. when i convert current date using date object in javascript . I did something like this
var curr = new Date(),
curr_year = curr.getFullYear(),
curr_month = curr.getMonth(),
curr_day = curr.getDay(),
today = new Date(curr_year, curr_month, curr_day, 0, 0, 0, 0);
console.log(today);
Here the today is returned as invalid date i needed the create a timestamp which should not include minutes secs and millisecs as zero for date comparison of month and date alone based on that i can categories .Is there way to dynamically create a date and compare those dates for given format.
And when i try to convert my date string using date object it returns year as 2001. how can i compare dates based upon current year.
For eg: in php i have used mktime to create a date dynamically from given date format and compare those results. Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks.

You can leverage the native JS Date functionality to get human-readable date strings for time stamps.
var today = new Date();
console.log( today.toDateString() ); // Outputs "Mon Feb 04 2013"
Date comparison is also built in.
var yesterday = new Date();
yesterday.setDate( yesterday.getDate() - 1);
console.log( yesterday.toDateString() ); // Outputs "Sun Feb 03 2013"
console.log( yesterday < today ); //Outputs true
You can use the other built-in methods to fine-tune this comparison to be/not be sensitive to minutes/seconds, or to set all those to 0.

You said that you used mktime() in php, so what about this?

change to this :
var curr = new Date(),
curr_year = curr.getFullYear(),
curr_month = curr.getMonth()+1,
curr_day = curr.getDay(),
today = curr_month+'/'+curr_day+'/'+curr_year;
console.log(today);
(getMonth()+1 is because January is 0)
change the :
today = curr_month+'/'+curr_day+'/'+curr_year;
to whatever format you like.

I have found a way to convert the date into timestamp i have tried as #nbrooks implemented but .toDateString has built in date comparison which works for operator < and > but not for == operator to do that i have used Date.parse(); function to achieve it. Here it goes..
var curr = new Date(),
curr_year = curr.getFullYear(),
curr_month = curr.getMonth(),
curr_day = curr.getDate(),
today = new Date(curr_year, curr_month, curr_day, 0,0,0,0);
var dob = new Date('dob with month and date only'+curr_year);
if(Date.parse(dob) == Date.parse(today)){
//Birthdays....
}
This method can be used to create a timestamp for dynamically created date.Thanks for your suggestions.

Extract Month and Day in Javascript

I have the date in this format: 1347564203.713372
And need to end up with 2 variables, one that is the month from that date and another that is the day from that date.
How do I do this using Javascript/jQuery?

This should do:
var myDate = 1347564203.713372;
var d= new Date(myDate*1000);
var month = d.getMonth();
var day = d.getDate();

Create a Date object, use setTime to put your timestamp in there, then get the relevant parts:
var d = new Date(), t = 1347564203.713372;
d.setTime(t*1000); // JS uses timestamps in milliseconds
alert(d.getUTCDate());
alert(["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"][d.getUTCMonth()]);
Note use of getUTC* functions - this helps avoid timezone issues and DST.
