Date.prototype.toDatetimeLocal =

Date.prototype.fromDatetimeLocal = (function (BST) {
  // BST should not be present as UTC time
  return new Date(BST).toISOString().slice(0, 16) === BST ?
    // if it is, it needs to be removed
    function () {
      return new Date(
        this.getTime() +
        (this.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000)
      ).toISOString();
    } :
    // otherwise can just be equivalent of toISOString
    Date.prototype.toISOString;

it doesn't have to be a Date.prototype, it would just work as well as function toDatetimeLocal(date) ... but you've got the point.

Don't apologize for a clean object-oriented proposal, this method belong on a Date instance, not an ugly "utility" function !

nice work!

Thanks for your help

Thanks a lot. Saved my sanity

thanks!

toDatetimeLocal won't work if you pass it a Date object with a year earlier than 1,000, since it won't pad the start with 0s.

@Olimarrex I am not sure anyone needs that in 2022 but it's easy to solve too?
