angular datepicker and date format

i have some trouble properly using date with angular5

i fetch data from a mocked api where date is generated like that : 24/07/2018 00:00:00 so there is no problem with resarch or anything manipulating those dates.

sample of the generation in api mock :

 for (int i = 1; i <= NUMBER_OF_POLICIES; i++)
            {
                Policy lPolicy = new Policy { Id = i, Name = string.Concat("Policy number ", i), Date = DateTime.Now.AddDays(i) };

                p.Add(lPolicy);
            }

problem comes when i update dates with angular material DatePicker component.

with the picker, date shows up like tis :

Mon Jul 30 2018 00:00:00 GMT+0200

so when i update the item, date is passed like this :

updated item: {"id":1,"name":"Policy number 1","date":"2018-07-29T22:00:00.000Z"}

any idea how to deal with locales ?

EDIT :

Here is the problem when i do some research :

 const offset = p.date.getTimezoneOffset();
 const test = p.date.setMinutes(p.date.getMinutes() - offset);

console.log(test) returns : 

updated item: {"id":1,"name":"Policy number 1","date":"2018-07-31T00:00:00.000Z"}

it works too but, is that "clean"?

You can use DatePipe in the component itself, and format the date using pre-defined-format-options

Try this

import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';

class Service {    
  constructor(private datePipe: DatePipe) {}    
  changeDate(date) {
    return this.datePipe.transform(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
  }
}

Or you can format date like this as well

var formatted = new DatePipe().transform(raw, 'yyyy-MM-dd');

use moment for date and time, which gives the necessary formats.

https://momentjs.com/

momentjs have different properties to get the time and date in necessary format.

newDate = this.Today

date = moment(this.newDate)

you can also pass necessary formats like

date = moment(this.newDate).format('DD/MM/YYYY')
