momentjs toDate() - timezone gets reset

Question

I am working with momentjs and converting dates to different time zones using convertedDate = moment().utcOffset(timezone).format(). This works well but it is a str

Answer 1

A cleaner approach to get a native Date object with time according to the timezone, using moment would be following:

convertedDate = moment.utc(moment.tz(timezone).format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss')).toDate()

PS: assuming two things

• you have imported both 'moment' and 'moment-timezone'.
• value of timezone is given like 'Asia/Kolkata' instead of an offset value
