Changing the Utc Date to Local Date using moment.js

Question

i\'m using moment.js with timezones for date manipulation in a webapp. i\'m storing all the dates in UTC and return them to UI as UTC. I\'m having the timezone of the user.

Answer 1

Use the + operator to get unix time, then:

moment(+moment.utc(utcDate))

How it works:

• moment.utc(String) parses the string and returns a moment object set to UTC timezone.
• + returns the unix offset in milliseconds for the moment obejct
• moment(Number) creates a new moment object in the user's local time zone, using the passed in unix offset.
