date.toDateString() gives UTC date instead of local

[paulkinzelman]

It appears that when I use the date.toDateString() method, I get the UTC date

The Date object is what is passed into clock.ontick()

This documentation doesn't say whether the clock.ontick() passes local or UTC date:

build slant reference slant device-api slant clock

(I can't believe it won't let me pass a fitbit URL, this ought to be allowed as well)

It'd be good to enhance this doc with that information.

How do I get the local date instead of the UTC date from the clock.ontick object?

It looks like if you want the local date, you can't use the toDateString, you have to concatinate the individual values.

getDate() gives local date

getUTCDate() gives UTC date
