Date in response JSON is different than in database - json

Question

I have sails.js application.
When I add record to my MySQL database there is field createdAt - type dateTime.
In MySql console createdAt value looks like Wed Mar 25 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0100
When I try to get this data as JSON using sails.js controller I get
2015-03-24T23:00:00.000Z - which is 1 hour elier?
My system time zone is GMT +1.
How can I get the same time in db and JSON rsponse?
'list': function (req, res, next) {
Tests.find().exec(function (err, tests) {
if (err) res.json({ error: 'DB error' }, 500);
if (tests) {
_.each(tests, function (data) {
console.log("Date: " + JSON.stringify(data.createdAt)+" "+data.createdAt);
})
res.status(200).json(tests);
}
});
And console output is:
Date: "2015-03-10T14:28:51.000Z" Tue Mar 10 2015 15:28:51 GMT+0100
Date: "2015-03-16T10:25:34.000Z" Mon Mar 16 2015 11:25:34 GMT+0100
Date: "2015-03-16T11:27:23.000Z" Mon Mar 16 2015 12:27:23 GMT+0100
Date: "2015-03-16T11:33:39.000Z" Mon Mar 16 2015 12:33:39 GMT+0100
Date: "2015-03-16T11:34:41.000Z" Mon Mar 16 2015 12:34:41 GMT+0100
Date: "2015-03-16T12:13:21.000Z" Mon Mar 16 2015 13:13:21 GMT+0100
Date: "2015-03-16T13:54:03.000Z" Mon Mar 16 2015 14:54:03 GMT+0100
It all happends while converting to JSON - still dont know how to fix it.

Answer 1

JSON.stringify(data.createdAt) is equal to data.createdAt.toJSON() and it is equal to data.createdAt.toISOString()
data.createdAt is equal to data.createdAt.toString()
the time value is equal; toString() returns it according your time zone, while toISOString() in GMT.
to get the Date from JSON string use conversion function as 2nd parameter of JSON.parse(), you can use the regexp rx = /([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})T([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})\.([0-9]{3})Z/ to check the date ISO format and then convert it to date d = new Date(str)

Answer 2

What is the type of createdAt in your Mysql database? Is it Date? If yes try setting it to varchar. And if you need to manipulate it or format it you can use moment js.
