To obtain the ISO8601 string representation of a date you don't need date-fns. You can simply use the Date.toISOString method. For example:

> new Date().toISOString()
'2019-09-02T11:54:53.506Z'

Or if you need to parse the date (date-fns objects have all the methods from Date):

> import { parse } from 'date-fns'
> parse('15/07/2019 18:07', 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm', new Date()).toISOString()
'2019-07-15T17:07:00.000Z'

Note that the parsed date is assumed to be in the local time zone.
