utc to local timezone Archives

In this tutorial, we will teach you, how you can convert UTC time to your local timezone in Node JS.

Following code will first get the current datetime in UTC, then convert it to user local timezone.

Note: You do not need to provide the timeZone from client side. Node JS will automatically detect the timeZone from incoming request and convert it accordingly.

let date = new Date()

date = new Date(date + " UTC")
date = date.toUTCString()

result.send(date + "")

If you want to return the datetime in specific format, you can do it like this:

// Options for date and time formatting
const options = {
    weekday: 'long',
    year: 'numeric',
    month: 'long',
    day: 'numeric',
    hour: '2-digit',
    minute: '2-digit',
    second: '2-digit',
    hour12: true
}

const date = (new Date()).toLocaleString("en-US", options)

This will return the date and time in format: “Tuesday, 2 July, 2024 at 05:11:05 pm”.

from fastapi import FastAPI from datetime import datetime, timezone as timezone_module from dateutil import tz app = FastAPI() utc = datetime.now(timezone_module.utc) # Hardcode zones: from_zone = tz.gettz("UTC") to_zone = tz.gettz("Asia/Karachi") # you can get user's local timezone in Javascript using following code: # Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone # Tell the datetime object that it's in UTC time zone since # datetime objects are 'naive' by default utc = utc.replace(tzinfo=from_zone) # Convert time zone local = utc.astimezone(to_zone) # get in readable format local = local.strftime("%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S") print(local)
