I want to get the time string from moment() but using toDate() function and not format() function

I am able to get the time using format function but it differ from the date and time returned from toDate() function.

moment().utc().toDate()

returned Mon Aug 05 2019 17:08:08 and

moment().utc().format('hh:mm a')

returned 11:40

I want to get 11:40 by using toDate() function and not format() function.

and what's the purpose of sticking only with `.toDate()`? – nircraft Aug 05 '19 at 11:44
I have to use same datetime inside mongo query and use the same datetime outside. – zu111w Aug 05 '19 at 11:46

Why don't you convert the date when reading/writing to the mongo db ? – Rafael Duarte Aug 05 '19 at 11:47
I can't change the format of inside the query. I only can do it for outside it. – zu111w Aug 05 '19 at 11:53

`toDate()` is function that returns the **native javascript date** object (`Date`) and not format (`string`) - https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/as-javascript-date/. – Mosh Feu Aug 05 '19 at 11:54
