I noticed some of my tokens were missing so I disabled the expiration function. It turns out some of these tokens have inaccurate creation dates. The worst case was a token that was created on June 25th but has an creation date value of '2020-06-03T09:00:29.506+00:00'. That's a 22 day difference!</p> <p>I use JavaScript's <code>new Date()</code> method to create the dates. MongoDB by default will convert a date object created by JavaScript's <code>new Date()</code> to UTC.</p> <p>I have ensured my system's built-in time synchronization is activated. What else can I do to make <code>new Date()</code> return correct dates?</p> javascript mongodb help Nisa JThani Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:48:53 +0000 https://dev.to/nisajthani/case-insensitive-queries-with-loopback-4-3k7o https://dev.to/nisajthani/case-insensitive-queries-with-loopback-4-3k7o <p>My first post!</p> <p>If the results of the query must contain the upper or lower case of some text, you will need to do a case-insensitive RegExp search:</p> <div class="ltag_gist-liquid-tag"> </div> <p>Note: I used MongoDB for my database.</p> loopback
