How to convert a datestring to date object without timezone

Question

I want to convert a date string '03/08/2016' to date object without a timezone.

convertToDateFormat(Datestr) {
    if ( Datestr!="" ) { // Datestr="03/08/2016"
        var datedata = Datestr.split("/");
        let year=datedata[2];
        let month=(parseFloat(datedata[1]) - 1);
        let day=datedata[0];
        var formatedDate = new Date( month + '-' + day + '-' + year);
        var formatedDatestring=JSON.stringify(formatedDate);
    }
}

Here I got the formatedDate as a Date object as

Wed Aug 03 2016 15:20:58 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

and stringify it I got the formatedDatestring as

"2016-08-02T18:30:00.000Z"

But I want the formatedDatestring as "2016-08-03T00:00:00.000Z"

Answer 1

You're overcomplicating

function convertToDateFormat(Datestr) {
    if ( Datestr!="" ) { // Datestr="03/08/2016"
        var datedata = Datestr.split("/");
        var formatedDateString=datedata[2]+'-' + datedata[1] + '-' + datedata[0] + 'T00:00:00.000Z';
        return formatedDateString;
    }
}
console.log(convertToDateFormat("03/08/2016")) // 2016-08-03T00:00:00.000Z
