Struggling with Dates - Githubissues

This may not be a bug with this package specifically, but I am having a hard time with dates. Just doing an example application right now for "Todos", I am using the entire T3 stack with with trpc and superjson as a transformer.

For the moment I am using MS SQL and Prisma. I am using a Prisma type of DateTime, but using @db.Date in my definition. My Zod validators are using the z.Date().nullable in the correct places.

When I create a TODO the date shows correctly, and shows correctly in the database, but when I receive the date, it has been localized. For now I am running the client and the server on the same machine. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Here are a few snippets of code and screen shots.

const t = initTRPC.context<typeof createTRPCContext>().create({
  transformer: superjson,
  errorFormatter({ shape, error }) {
    return {
      ...shape,
      data: {
        ...shape.data,
        zodError:
          error.cause instanceof ZodError ? error.cause.flatten() : null,
      },
    };
  },
});

part of schema.prisma

model Todo {
  id       String    @id @default(cuid())
  userId   String
  title    String
  dueDate  DateTime? @db.Date
  complete Boolean
  user     User      @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
}

How I am creating my models. This is the createTodoRequest.ts file

import { z } from "zod";

export const createTodoRequestValidator = z.object({
    title: z.string().min(1),
    dueDate: z.date().nullable(),
    complete: z.boolean(),
});

export type CreateTodoRequest = z.infer<typeof createTodoRequestValidator>;

The route handler is then defined as such

export const createRouteHandler = protectedProcedure.input(createTodoRequestValidator).mutation(async ({ ctx, input }) => {
    const userId = ctx.session.user.id;

    const dataToInsert = {
        userId: userId,
        title: input.title,
        dueDate: input.dueDate,
        complete: input.complete
    }

    const results = await ctx.prisma.todo.create({ data: dataToInsert })

    return results;
})

Then I use the models with my react-hook-form ...

import { type CreateTodoRequest, createTodoRequestValidator } from "../routeHandlerModels/createTodoRequest";
import { type SubmitErrorHandler, type SubmitHandler, useForm } from "react-hook-form";

const CreateTodoPage: NextPage = () => {
    const { mutate, isLoading, isSuccess } = api.todos.create.useMutation();
    const router = useRouter();

    const { formState, handleSubmit, register } = useForm<CreateTodoRequest>({
        resolver: zodResolver(createTodoRequestValidator),
        values: {
            title: "",
            complete: false,
            dueDate: null
        }
    })

   // Rest of the handlers, and UI..

}

When the record is created in the database it is what I would expect.

However, when I use my query to retrieve the data it comes back like this

This is how I define my getAllRoute and here is a screen shot of what it looks like for that console.log before it is sent to the client (before superjson get's it).

export const getAllRouteHandler = protectedProcedure.query(async ({ctx}) => {
    const userId = ctx.session.user.id;
    const results = await ctx.prisma.todo.findMany({where: { userId: userId }})

    if(results) {
      const firstResult = results[0];
      if(firstResult) {
        const firstResultDueDate = firstResult.dueDate;
        console.log(firstResultDueDate);
        if(firstResultDueDate) {
          console.log(firstResultDueDate.toISOString());
        }
      }
    }

    return results;
});

Any suggestions on what I can do?

If it helps. This is also the full server side entry for my trpc

 * need to use are documented accordingly near the end.
