Date.prototype.toISOString()
The toISOString() method of Date instances returns a string representing this date in the date time string format, a simplified format based on ISO 8601, which is always 24 or 27 characters long (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or ±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ, respectively). The timezone is always UTC, as denoted by the suffix Z.
Try it
const event = new Date("05 October 2011 14:48 UTC");
console.log(event.toString());
// Expected output: "Wed Oct 05 2011 16:48:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)"
// Note: your timezone may vary
console.log(event.toISOString());
// Expected output: "2011-10-05T14:48:00.000Z"
