Get time zone information from a date in nodeJS or momentJS

Question

We have a current time called 11:10 PM as the string value. We will create a date object with this time. Now from this date can we get the timezone for this date value?

We are expecting the timezone like Asia/Kolkata, etc. Is it possible to get this value in NodeJS/MomentJS

Answer 1

You can get the timezone of the machine running the code, using Intl.DateTime.resolvedOptions

If you run this in Node.js you'll get the server timezone, any client running the code in a browser will see their timezone.

// Using Intl
console.log('Timezone: ', Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone);
