How to Conversion from “datetime-local” to mysql.Timestamp in javascript

Question

I'm trying to insert date value from "date-time-local" box to MySQL DB in TIMESTAMP column. How should I convert the value to TIMESTAMP.

Answer 1

The JavaScript statement new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace('T', ' '); would yield something like 2019-03-11 03:47:06 . The MySQL TIMESTAMP value has a range from '1970-01-01 00:00:01' UTC to '2038-01-19 03:14:07' UTC, hence where you hear about the 2038 problem, since the integers can only cover so much space, but that's off topic :)
