I've tried to use
let format = "yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"
let str = date.toFormat(format)
but I get

- Try the toIso() method of the DateTime object as mentioned in moment.github.io/luxon/docs/class/src/… – Thakkie Commented Dec 3, 2020 at 16:34
- It outputs the timezoe as "01:00" instead of "0100" – bradgonesurfing Commented Dec 3, 2020 at 16:35
- 1 I've found the correct format string ""yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZ" – bradgonesurfing Commented Dec 3, 2020 at 16:35

Reset to default 4From Luxon's table of tokens
Z narrow offset +5
ZZ short offset +05:00
ZZZ techie offset +0500
Thus, you can use ZZZ
to emit the offset in the format you requested.
However, be aware that bining this in the way that you asked would produce a string that is not pliant with ISO 8601.
ISO 8601 (in section 4.3.2) provides two valid formats, "Basic" and "Extended":
Basic format Example
YYYYMMDDThhmmss 19850412T101530
YYYYMMDDThhmmssZ 19850412T101530Z
YYYYMMDDThhmmss±hhmm 19850412T101530+0400
YYYYMMDDThhmmss±hh 19850412T101530+04
Extended format Example
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss 1985-04-12T10:15:30
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ 1985-04-12T10:15:30Z
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm 1985-04-12T10:15:30+04:00
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh 1985-04-12T10:15:30+04
Most people use the extended format, and sometimes you will find the basic format (especially in URLs). But you have bined the date and time from the extended format with the offset from the basic format, which is not a supported bination.
Unless you are locked into this for some reason, I suggest moving to either the basic or extended format.
