JavaScript library that handles time zone conversion

datejavascripttimetimezone

Is there a javascript library that can handle time zone conversions (and takes DST rules and such stuff into account)? I know there are similar questions, but none of the ones I have seen seem to have an answer that really fits my question.

I would like to create a date in time zone A and be able to manipulate it (add days, hours and stuff like that) and then convert it to another time zone B. There must be a lot of people that need this kind of functionality, so I guess there should be some library out there that I haven't found.

MOMENT - A 5kb javascript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates.

moment().zone(); this is the function you will be wanting.

You can also try out datejs, however i prefer moment library, they have good docs, and maintains delicious code.

The best database I know of is the tz database, also known as the Olson database.

Javascript – Convert a Unix timestamp to time in JavaScript

let unix_timestamp = 1549312452
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();

// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);

console.log(formattedTime);

For more information regarding the Date object, please refer to MDN or the ECMAScript 5 specification.
