By passing string from query parameter in moment() shows moment.invalid

Question

I am making GET api under which I want date time in query parameter. If I simply make log with req.query() it is showing correct string. But if I pass that string in moment() then I am getting moment.invalid('date').

Here is my code:

console.log('current time ', req.query.currentTime, moment(req.query.currentTime));

and in console, I am getting,

 moment.invalid(/* DATE */)

As your date string contains timezone. You can convert it using following way:

moment().parseZone(date).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
