Display users local zone abbreviation

Question

I was trying to use z or zz in format to display the timezone at the end of the string and found that it\'s deprecated. Z and ZZ

Answer 1

As of moment-timezone 0.1.0, you can use the formatting additions to get the abbreviation of a specific time zone:

moment().tz("America/Los_Angeles").format('z');  // PST or PDT

As of version 0.5.0, you can now guess the user's local time zone, which when combined with the above technique, allows you to do the following:

moment().tz(moment.tz.guess()).format('z');

Assuming the guess was correct, it will display the associated abbreviation.
