Moment-timezone is an npm package that provides IANA time zone support for Moment.js, a popular library for managing dates and times in JavaScript. It's an add-on that allows developers to parse, manipulate, and display moments in any timezone. It is, however, considered a legacy project and is in maintenance mode with most users encouraged to choose a different library.
The usage of Moment-timezone is quite straightforward. It lets you manipulate and display dates and times in JavaScript based on different time zones. Specifically, you would use Moment.js to create a moment object, and then use Moment-timezone to convert and format that moment object into a specific timezone.
An example of usage is as follows:
var moment = require('moment-timezone'); // require the moment-timezone package
var june = moment("2014-06-01T12:00:00Z");
june.tz('America/Los_Angeles').format('ha z'); // the output is "5am PDT"
In this example, we first require the moment-timezone library. We then create a moment object for a specific date and time (June 1, 2014, at 12:00:00 UTC). Finally, we use the .tz() method to convert the moment object's time to the "America/Los_Angeles" timezone, and the .format() method to display the time in a specific format ("ha z" gives the hour in 12-hour format and the timezone abbreviation).
For comprehensive documentation on Moment-timezone, you can refer to the official documentation provided by Moment.js. It covers everything from basic usage to more advanced topics, along with detailed explanations and code examples to help understand the usage of each method and feature.
