React Native Timezone

A Simple react native module to get Timezone of the Android/iOS device.

Motivation

For a project of mine, I had to acquire the current selected timezone of the user. But unfortunately I could not find any react native package or react native in-build function which facilitates this. Thus I created a small library.

Compatibility

Timezone version 2.0.0 only support React Native version 0.62.3 and above due to React Native Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability.

| React native version | Tested | Result | |----------------------|--------|--------| | 0.62.3 + | ✅ | ✅ |

Installation

npm i --save react-native-timezone

iOS

Do cd ios/ && pod install.

Usage

import TimeZone from 'react-native-timezone';

getTimeZone = async() => {
 const timeZone = await TimeZone.getTimeZone().then(zone => zone);
 console.log({ timeZone });
}

API

| API | Description | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | getTimeZone | Android : Returns timezone ID using java.util.TimeZone.getID()iOS : This always reflects the current system time zone using localTimeZone of NSTimeZone |
