I get datetime state like: "2022-05-18T18:30:00.000Z" - a moment datetime, then converts it to unix. But I do convert it in my local timezone, How do I change the timezone of the unix datetime and return in same unix format.
Timezone I get - Asia/Singapore
Code:
this.state.startTimeDate.unix() //This is how I convert it to unix format
How to change this unix to a different timezone ?
You could try converting the date to the client timezone before converting back to unix using moment like this ...
moment
.unix(1399335987)
.tz('MST')
.format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ');
And you get
"2022-05-20T17:01:27-07:00"
Before converting back to unix again. Hope this helps
I'm not quite sure how accurate or correct my "solution" is, but having to generate unix timestamps for a Discord bot I ended up doing something similar to this (albeit a bit shorter):
const moment = require('moment-timezone')
const riseTime = moment("05:41", 'HH:mm', 'America/Toronto') // Moment<2022-06-14T05:41:00+00:00>
let bootlegUnix = Math.round(riseTime.valueOf() / 1000) // 1655185260
I'm basically an idiot but this accomplished what I was going for.
