In typescript how do you convert a string like this to datetime?
2019-01-19 14:00:12
I am not sure if this is the right way
new Date("2019-01-19 14:00:12")
I think there would be some way to specify the timezone in it.

Dates don't have timezones. Timezone is an aspect of how a date is represented. For more information, read w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/definitions-time/….user663031– user6630312016-06-20 05:18:46 +00:00Commented Jun 20, 2016 at 5:18

If you construct new date, it will use time zone from the client. See here for more info how to construct date: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
You can parse your date string manually and construct new Date object with year,month,day,hour,minute,second values. Or you can use Date.Parse(...) function if your date string is in correct format, see more here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse
If you want UTC date you need to construct it with new Date.UTC(...)

No, I mean't that it will construct date according to client time zone. From msdn: "the constructor creates a JavaScript Date object for the current date and time according to system settings". What Date actually represents, is number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC . So if time zone on your PC is +2 it will construct Date with 2*60*60*1000 more miliseconds.
to convert from string to date then yo should to as
const date = new Date("2019-01-19 14:00:12");
console.log(date);For more: Date Utils
