Thought I understood how to convert a time stored in our DB to the users local time but seems I do not. When I save the kick off time into my postresql database (On Heroku) it is supplied as 2018-11-14 19:45:00, I save it as a TIMESTAMP. At the time i save it should I use moment?

Running Heroku logs I have noticed that the server time is 2018-11-14T19:45:00.200076+00:00, which is UTC ?

Using moment JS in my node app I am carrying out the following

fixture.kick_off = 2018-11-14 19:45:00.000000
<%= moment(fixture.kick_off).local().format('HH:mm A') %>

I have had a user from Denmark state that this is showing as 19:45 pm, where as i wanted it to show 20:45 PM as per the time difference

Have I misunderstood something here (very likely)

Thanks

Update

I am now using the below as per Matt's answer

<%= moment.utc(fixture.kick_off).local().format('HH:mm A') %>

Following on from Matt's comment around checking the typeof fixture.kick_off, it was returning object, have now updated my code to be

<% var kick_off = fixture.kick_off.toString() %>
<%= moment.utc(kick_off).local().format('HH:mm') %>

Which returns the following in the console

Assuming the time stored in your database based on UTC, you simply forgot to tell moment that. Use moment.utc(input) instead of moment(input)

moment.utc(fixture.kick_off).local().format('HH:mm A')
