In order to insert Date() in MongoDB through Mongo shell, use the following syntax
var yourVariableName= new Date(year,month, day, hour, minute); db.yourCollectionName({yourDateFieldName:yourVariableName});
Let us first create a date variable
> var creatingDate = new Date(2019, 03, 29, 13, 12);
Let us create a collection with documents:
>db.insertingDateUsingVariableDemo.insertOne({"UserName":"John","UserMessages":["Hi","Hello","Awesome"],"UserPostDate":creatingDate});
Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method
> db.insertingDateUsingVariableDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5c9d1b19a629b87623db1b21"), "UserName" : "John", "UserMessages" : [ "Hi", "Hello", "Awesome" ], "UserPostDate" : ISODate("2019-04-29T07:42:00Z") }
