I have the following string, which is in UTC:
2022-02-01T00:00:00Z
I have already configured my timezone, so I do not want to mess/call .tz()
I know that this string is in UTC, but I am not managing to convert from UTC to the defined timezone, which in this example is pacific/wallis.
I have tried many things, as
const utc = moment.utc('2022-02-01T00:00:00Z').toDate()
const inConfiguredTimeZone = utc.format()
My desire is to get this timestamp 2022-02-01T00:00:00Z and have converted to the defined timezone on Moment
I need to tell moment that "This string is in UTC, please give me the converted timestamp in the defined time zone"
>Solution :
If you just want to format a UTC timestamp in your current timezone (determined by your computer’s time settings) just use
let s = moment("2022-02-01T00:00:00Z").format();
This will produce a string like 2022-02-01T12:00:00+12:00 if you are currently in a timezone that has a UTC offset of +12 hours (like pacific/wallis) or 2022-02-01T01:00:00+01:00 if you are currently in a timezone that has a UTC offset of +1 hours (like europe/berlin)
If you want it converted to a specific timezone use
let s = moment("2022-02-01T00:00:00Z").tz("pacific/wallis").format();
This will produce 2022-02-01T12:00:00+12:00, regardless of your current timezone.
