Very kludgy PG timestamp to JS date

timestamps.js

module.exports = {
  // turns a postgres timestamptz field into a JS date
  parse: function(s) {
    //split on second fraction
    var pieces = s.split('.');
    // replace space with ISO T separator
    pieces[0] = pieces[0].replace(' ', 'T');
    // strip to milliseconds
    pieces[1] = pieces[1].slice(0, 3) + pieces[1].slice(6);
    // add minutes to TZ offset - doesn't handle non-hour TZs
    pieces[1] = pieces[1] + ':00';

    return new Date(pieces.join('.'));
  }
};
