  6. var Timestamp = {
  7. 	start: function (date){
  8. 		date = date ? date : new Date();
  9. 		var offset = date.getTimezoneOffset();
  10. 		return this.pad(date.getFullYear(), 4)
  11. 		+ "-" + this.pad(date.getMonth() + 1, 2)
  12. 		+ "-" + this.pad(date.getDate(), 2)
  13. 		+ "T" + this.pad(date.getHours(), 2)
  14. 		+ ":" + this.pad(date.getMinutes(), 2)
  15. 		+ ":" + this.pad(date.getSeconds(), 2)
  16. 		+ "." + this.pad(date.getMilliseconds(), 3)
  17. 		+ (offset > 0 ? "-" : "+")
  18. 		+ this.pad(Math.floor(Math.abs(offset) / 60), 2)
  19. 		+ ":" + this.pad(Math.abs(offset) % 60, 2);				
  20. 	},
  21. 	pad: function (amount, width ){
  22. 	  	var padding = "";
  23. 	  	while (padding.length < width - 1 && amount < Math.pow(10, width - padding.length - 1))
  24. 	   		padding += "0";
  25. 	  		return padding + amount.toString();
  26.  		}
  27. }
  28.  
  29. console.log( Timestamp.start() );
