Passing date from angular to rails

I have a problem with passing date from Angular to Rails. In my project i use datetimepicker directive (https://github.com/dalelotts/angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker) which is using moment js. So when i pick the date it looks like "Wed Aug 05 2015 11:55:00 GMT+0300 (EEST)". Then this date is passing to rails api and rails converts it in "2015-08-05T08:55:00.000Z". So i simply need that the time received by rails was 11:55:00 not 08:55:00.

You do need to realize that Wed Aug 05 2015 11:55:00 GMT+0300 is equal to 2015-08-05T08:55:00.000Z and that the later date is a translation to UTC of the first one.

To change the timezone in which Active Record saves in the database, you can use

# application.rb
config config.time_zone = 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)'
config.active_record.default_timezone = :local

Warning! You really should think twice, even thrice, before saving times in the database in a non-UTC format.

Here's how you can find all available timezones

rake:time:all
