This is a fork of (Bigeasy's Timezone library)[https://github.com/bigeasy/timezone].

The original library uses eggert/tz to generate up-to-date timezone information, but the library is not maintained anymore. This fork uses (@instructure/timezone)[https://github.com/instructure/timezone]

If time zones ever get out of sync again, do the following...

git clone --recurse-submodules [@instructure/timezone URL]
cd timezone
cd eggert/tz
git checkout [Last updated version number from moment-timezone, e.g. 2023c]
# update package.json version number
npm install
make publish # publishes to NPM
git add .
# commit and push git changes

Timezone

Format time in JavaScript using the IANA time zone database. (Photo: Sundial by Wolfgang Staudt.)

var tz = require('timezone/loaded'),
    equal = require('assert').equal,
    utc;

// Get POSIX time in UTC.
utc = tz('2012-01-01');

// Convert UTC time to local time in a localize language.
equal(tz(utc, '%c', 'fr_FR', 'America/Montreal'),
      'sam. 31 déc. 2011 19:00:00 EST');
