Minitz Examples

Convert a specific timezone to local time

Standard way

// Convert 2022-09-10 23:08:09 in New York to local time (in this example Europe/Stockholm)
console.log("Local time: ", minitz(2022, 9, 10, 23, 8, 9, "America/New_York").toLocaleString("sv-SE"));
// Local time:  2022-09-11 05:08:09

Providing an ISO8601 timestring

// Convert 2022-09-10 23:08:09 in New York to local time (in this example Europe/Stockholm)
console.log("Local time: ", minitz("2022-09-10 23:08:99", "America/New_York").toLocaleString("sv-SE"));
// Local time:  2022-09-11 05:08:09

Convert local time to a specific timezone

Provided that you only need to display the result, converting local time to specific timezone is best achieved with vanilla JavaScript.

console.log("Time in New York printed with system locale: ", new Date().toLocaleString("sv-SE", { timeZone: "America/New_York"}));
// -> Time in New York printed with system locale:  2022-09-14 17:29:42

If you need to use the result in any other way, it’s better to use minitz to convert to a remote timezone. This way you’ll get the results as an object, which also includes the timezone to which the time is converted to.

//  Convert to local time to time in America/New_York
//  As time in other timezones than local cannot be represented correctly by a date object
//  a generic object is returned
console.log("Time in New York: ", minitz.toTZ(new Date(), "America/New_York"));
// -> Time in New York:
//  {
//     y: 2022,
//     m: 9,
//     d: 14,
//     h: 17,
//     i: 29,
//     s: 42,
//     tz: 'America/New_York'
//  }
