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 Angular I used Ben's answer this way:

$scope.convert = function (thedate) {
    var tempstr = thedate.toString();
    var newstr = tempstr.toString().replace(/GMT.*/g, "");
    newstr = newstr + " UTC";
    return new Date(newstr);
};

Edit: Angular 1.3.0 added UTC support to date filter, I haven't use it yet but it should be easier, here is the format:

{{ date_expression | date : format : timezone}}
