Rails Convert yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ To date

Question

Following is my query where I am fetching order wise payments on latest first basis.

I wish to fetch OrderPayment created_at here.

If I write <%= OrderPayment.last.created_at%> I get 2019-06-28 16:31:12 +053 which is a date, and I'm currently using <%= order_payment["created_at"]%> where I get 2019-06-28T11:01:12.686086 which is a string.

Why am I getting such a weird representation?

@order_payments = OrderPayment.select("order_id, json_agg(order_payments.* order by order_payments.created_at desc) as details").includes(order:).order("order_id desc").group(:order_id)

#iterating @orderpayments for listing
<% @order_payments.each do |order_detail| %>
 <%details = order_detail.details%>
  <%=order_payment["created_at"]%>
<%end%>

if i do <%= Time.at(DateTime.parse(order_payment["created_at"])).strftime("%d-%m-%y %I:%M %p")%> i get output like OrderPayment.last.created_at but i want to know whats the correct way to do it?

I think in your situation database and your rail environment time zones are different. and its returning db value as it is with timezone you should try Time.zone.parse(//your query//) It will return time and date with current time zone.
