Can I make node.js Date always be in UTC/GMT?

Question

My app runs on Linux servers, where the time (naturally) set to UTC/GMT. However the app is developed on Mac desktops where the time is typically set to a local timezone.

Answer 1

You can use TZ configuration parameter of node.js as follows.

For bash (and related)

export TZ=UTC

For Powershell

$env:TC = 'UTC'

Then for both:

nodejs server/index.js
