SQL and JS dates are not that compatible.
for the datetime type of MySQL for example you need a date in the following format
"2018-04-21 12:11:01"
The suggestions that you usually find on the internet aren't correct, because they don't tate timezones into consideration.
So this does not work correctly!
new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace('T', ' ');
You can easily solve the problem by using moment.js
require('moment')().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
If you don't want to go this route, you can also solve it without an additional library - it just doesn't read as nicely.
const d = new Date();
d.toISOString().split('T')[0]+' '+d.toTimeString().split(' ')[0];

The last example won't work when the date is in the next day and my timezone is still today.
I guess Benjamin gave his Zone example with ISO.
You can use
${d.getDate()}-${d.getMonth()+1}-${d.getFullYear()} d.toTimeString().split(' ')[0], where d = new Date() , to get the local result.
