date-time-zone
Create and manipulate time zone specific dates as regular Date objects. (~Abuses~)Uses Intl and Proxy.
Example
const { createDate, detectTimeZone } = require('@smhg/date-time-zone');
if (!detectTimeZone()) {
console.warn('Time zones not (fully) supported');
}
const timeZone = 'Europe/Berlin';
createDate({ timeZone }); // now
createDate(2019, 0, 1, { timeZone }); // start of 2019 in Berlin
const date = createDate({ timeZone });
date.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
console.log(date.toString()); // start of today in Berlin
Usage
When you need to work with a Date instance in another time zone, replace new Date
with createDate
and add an options object ({ timeZone: '...' }
) as the last parameter.
All other usage is the same as regular Date objects, with manipulations (setDate
, setHours
, ...) happening in the specified time zone and toString()
returning the date and time in the specified time zone.
