How to convert time and date string to ISO format

I have two inputs, a time and a date input. I'm trying to format them as an ISO string to send to the backend using moment.js.

This is what I have so far 01:00 2016-01-01, I need to format or convert that to ISO. Is there a way to do it using Moment?

Assuming you are referring to ISO8601 and momentjs (2.10.6), I currently do it like this

var example = momentObject.format("YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss");

You need to use moment's parse function to first create the correct moment object from the data that you have (assuming a 24-hour clock, and month listed before the days):

var myMoment = moment("01:00 2016-01-01", "HH:mm YYYY-MM-DD");

Then you can use moment's format function to output the date in the ISO format that you want. Note that calling the format function without any parameters will output ISO 8601 by default:

myMoment.format();

See the moment docs for more info here.

Hope this helps!

To convert ISO I recommend the more standard 

date.format();

or

JSON.stringify(yourDate)

or if you prefer momentjs:

var date = moment();
date.toISOString();

or

moment(yourDate).format('MM/DD/YYYY'); // <- your custom format string
