Convert UTC date time to local date time

Question

From the server I get a datetime variable in this format: 6/29/2011 4:52:48 PM and it is in UTC time. I want to convert it to the current user’s browser time us

Answer 1

In my case, I had to find the difference of dates in seconds. The date was a UTC date string, so I converted it to a local date object. This is what I did:

let utc1 = new Date();
let utc2 = null;
const dateForCompare = new Date(valueFromServer);
dateForCompare.setTime(dateForCompare.getTime() - dateForCompare.getTimezoneOffset() * 
 60000);
utc2 = dateForCompare;

const seconds = Math.floor(utc1 - utc2) / 1000;
