How to convert Moment.js date to users local timezone?

Question

I use the Moment.js and Moment-Timezone frameworks, and have a Moment.js date object which is explicitly in UTC timezone. How can I convert that to the current timezone of t

Answer 1

var dateFormat = 'YYYY-DD-MM HH:mm:ss';
var testDateUtc = moment.utc('2015-01-30 10:00:00');
var localDate = testDateUtc.local();
console.log(localDate.format(dateFormat)); // 2015-30-01 02:00:00

1. Define your date format.
2. Create a moment object and set the UTC flag to true on the object.
3. Create a localized moment object converted from the original moment object.
4. Return a formatted string from the localized moment object.
