ember-data-date-only-transform

This addon provides a date-only transform for fields that only include the date but no time info from the API. It correctly adjusts for a browser quirk where parsing a date string without time can return a Date object for the previous day.

Here's a quick browser console example showing the quirk when parsing a date only string:

new Date('2018-04-20').toString()
> "Thu Apr 19 2018 19:00:00 GMT-0500 (CDT)"

Notice how the browser changes the day of month from the 20th of April to the 19th.

This transform takes care of the browser quirk so the day of month on the deserialized date object is not the day before.

This quirk only happens for people in the Western hemisphere because the browser implicitly assumes the time is 00:00:00.000Z when not provided. Then the browser applies the Time Zone adjustment so 2018-04-20T00:00:00.000Z in the Central time zone is 7 pm the day before on 4/19/2018.
