I'm using Ionic 3. I used ion-datetime ponent:

myDate: String = new Date().toISOString();

<ion-datetime displayFormat="HH:mm" pickerFormat="HH:mm" [(ngModel)]="myDate"></ion-datetime>

I want to have today's date that depends on the timezone of the user device. Unfortunately new Date().toISOString() always returns the GMT one. any advises how to this properly ?

If you use toLocalString() it gives you the following format MM/DD/YYYY, HH:MM:SS A

If you need the a ISO 8601 format consider using the below code:

mydate: String = (new Date(Date.now() - (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset() * 60000)).toISOString().slice(0, -1);

try using the toLocaleString() function of the Javascript Date Object.

 myDate: String = new Date().toLocaleString();

Hope this helps.

1. Open console at root proyect and install moment: npm install moment --S.
2. Import moment in ponent file: import moment from 'moment';.
3. Set value of model variable: this.myDate = moment().format().
