I have a React Web App and a React Native Mobile App. When I pass a moment date object from my react web app to my backend, it gets converted to a string somehow and it works with my backend.

When I do it with my react native mobile app, it passes the date as a moment object and it doesn't get converted to a string and it doesn't work.

Is there a way to convert the moment object into a plain string like

I tried toString() and toUTCString() and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Use moment().format() to create a formatted string from the date.

console.log(moment().format())

<script src=https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.js></script>

But if you're using version 2.1.0+ (link), toString should work:

console.log(moment().toString())

console.log(typeof moment().toString())
