Quick Fix: In the Drizzle ORM definition, set the mode attribute of the date column to "date" like date: date("date", {mode: "date"}).notNull(). This will ensure that the date values are correctly converted between JavaScript and PostgreSQL.
The Problem:
A user is experiencing an inconsistency in date handling between Javascript and PostgreSQL using the Drizzle ORM. When retrieving a date value from the database, the Javascript code shows a different date compared to what is displayed in the database’s Studio. Additionally, comparing dates in a subsequent query leads to incorrect results, indicating a mismatch in date interpretation. The user wants to resolve this issue and ensure accurate date handling in their application.
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Change the date column’s definition
To resolve the issue of date conversion between JavaScript and PostgreSQL, it is recommended to modify the definition of the date column in the drizzle model to:
date: date("date", {mode: "date"}).notNull(),
By adding the mode option as “date”, it specifies that the column should store only the date part of the timestamp, excluding the time component. This ensures that the date values are represented consistently in both JavaScript and PostgreSQL, preventing any timezone-related discrepancies.
This modification ensures that the date values are stored in the database as pure dates, without any time component. As a result, when you query the database or compare dates in JavaScript, you will get consistent results, regardless of your timezone or the timezone settings of the database.
