I am developing in Angular 6. I keep form values as json in a database when new record is saved.If end user wants to show exists record , I fill form components from json data.But I got into trouble for casting date values . I wasn't be able to cast correctly my local date.
I have tried with moment,but didn't work:

console.log("string Value",stringValue);

let date = moment(stringValue,"yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.fffZ");                             

console.log("date",date.format('DD/MM/YYY HH:mm:ss'));

string Value output: 2019-01-17T21:00:00.000Z

console output actual : date 18/01/2019 01:00:00

but console output expected : date 18/01/2019 00:00:00

I tried "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.fffZ" but didn't work too.

EXTRA INFORMATION

saving data:

process.data = JSON.stringify(this.form.getRawValue());

save(process);

html(primeng):

<p-calendar formControlName="startDate" dateFormat="dd.mm.yy"></p-calendar>

You can parse your '2019-01-17T21:00:00.000Z' input using moment.utc() since it represents time in UTC

By default, moment parses and displays in local time.

If you want to parse or display a moment in UTC, you can use moment.utc() instead of moment().

and then convert it to local timezone using local().

Here a live sample:

const stringValue = '2019-01-17T21:00:00.000Z';

let date = moment.utc(stringValue).local();

console.log(date, date.format('DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss'));
