Show time in different timezone
Is there any option by which I can make it display time in specific timezone ?
Not currently, however it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to support offsets like "+05:00", see documentation here, but if you wanted to be able to set things like "Australia/Sydney" you should use moment-timezone.
This could also be a good idea. I'm thinking, the tooltip could also be tweaked so it shows the time in a different timezone. Still not sure.
Using moment-timezone seems simple enough:
var moment = require('moment-timezone')
var timezone = "America/New_York"
var locale = "en"
var format = "h:mm a Z"
var timeLocal = moment().locale(locale).format(format)
var timeTimezone = moment().tz(timezone).locale(locale).format(format)
console.log(`Local: ${timeLocal}`)
console.log(`${timezone}: ${timeTimezone}`)
Local: 5:27 pm +01:00
America/New_York: 12:27 pm -04:00
Related, I would love to be able to have the clock display UTC so I know what time it is on my servers.
Perhaps a checkbox in the settings to toggle between local time and UTC or maybe allow the user to click the time to toggle it between UTC and local time?
moment.js provides a .utc()
method which seems to do the trick.
I don't mind writing this up and doing the PR if you want?
I created a timezone
branch with the first version of the timezone feature. However, the UTC option is available as timezone, so probably the UTC settings item can be removed. This would limit the customization for UTC only. A CSS class could still be added whenever the timezone is changed from the default one.
could there also possibly be an update to display two timezones if possible? possibly to have one in UTC and the other in your local? Or to have a UTC Offset field with that?
Maybe this can be integrated with the time format. However, in order to do that, a regex-like format should be parsed. I'm thinking about it, I've had much to do at work so I left this project a bit behind. I'll see if I can get some time to work on the timezone
feature.
