Create a local date from a UTC date string in Moment.js

Question

Given a UTC date string (formatted: YYYYMMDDHHmmss) I\'d like to create a date with the local timezone using Moment.js. I have tried the following:

var utcDateSt         


        

Answer 1

Just use the .local() function, added in version 1.5.0.

var localDate = moment.utc(utcDateStr, 'YYYYMMDDHHmmss').local();
