The base class for timezones.

Two timezones are provided by default: tzLocal and tzUtc. There is also a class IANATimezone which can be used with the time zone database maintained by IANA. All timezone sensitive operations take a timezone as an optional parameter which defaults to tzLocal.

There is a tutorial here.

The timezone object provides accessors for the common properties of a date such as {@link Timezone['year']}. Here is an example of using the year.

import { tzLocal, tzUtc } from '@jetblack/date-tz'

const utcMillennium = new Date("2000-01-01T00:00:00Z")

// The UTC year will always be 2000
console.log(tzUtc.year(utcMillennium) === 2000)

// The year in the local timezone will depend where you are.
// If the timezone was New York ...
console.log(tzLocal.year(utcMillennium) === 1999)

There are two complimentary methods used for date construction: makeDate and dateParts. These are used by the library functions to efficiently deconstruct and construct dates for performing calculations.

There are two functions specific to timezones: isDaylightSavings and toISOString. The JavaScript built in Date.toISOString is only aware of the UTC timezone. This method provides support for any defined timezone.

Hierarchy

  • Timezone

Index

Constructors

  • Construct a new timezone.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The timezone name.

    Returns Timezone

Accessors

  • get name(): string
  • Get the name of the timezone.

    Returns string

Methods

  • Makes a new date by taking the date parts using this timezone and making the date with the supplied time zone.

    Parameters

    • date: Date

      A date

    • tz: Timezone

      A timezone

    Returns Date

    A new date using the date parts from this timezone, constructed with the supplied timezone.

  • Extract the date parts.

    If more than one date part is required this is the preferred way to get them, as the timezone calculation is only performed once.
