I have a web page with three dropdowns for day, month and year. If I use the JavaScript Date
constructor that takes numbers, then I get a Date
obje
This is BEST solution
Using:
// TO ALL dates
Date.timezoneOffset(-240) // +4 UTC
// Override offset only for THIS date
new Date().timezoneOffset(-180) // +3 UTC
Code:
Date.prototype.timezoneOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
Date.setTimezoneOffset = function(timezoneOffset) {
return this.prototype.timezoneOffset = timezoneOffset;
};
Date.getTimezoneOffset = function() {
return this.prototype.timezoneOffset;
};
Date.prototype.setTimezoneOffset = function(timezoneOffset) {
return this.timezoneOffset = timezoneOffset;
};
Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset = function() {
return this.timezoneOffset;
};
Date.prototype.toString = function() {
var offsetDate, offsetTime;
offsetTime = this.timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000;
offsetDate = new Date(this.getTime() - offsetTime);
return offsetDate.toUTCString();
};
['Milliseconds', 'Seconds', 'Minutes', 'Hours', 'Date', 'Month', 'FullYear', 'Year', 'Day'].forEach((function(_this) {
return function(key) {
Date.prototype["get" + key] = function() {
var offsetDate, offsetTime;
offsetTime = this.timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000;
offsetDate = new Date(this.getTime() - offsetTime);
return offsetDate["getUTC" + key]();
};
return Date.prototype["set" + key] = function(value) {
var offsetDate, offsetTime, time;
offsetTime = this.timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000;
offsetDate = new Date(this.getTime() - offsetTime);
offsetDate["setUTC" + key](value);
time = offsetDate.getTime() + offsetTime;
this.setTime(time);
return time;
};
};
})(this));
Coffee version:
Date.prototype.timezoneOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset()
Date.setTimezoneOffset = (timezoneOffset)->
return @prototype.timezoneOffset = timezoneOffset
Date.getTimezoneOffset = ->
return @prototype.timezoneOffset
Date.prototype.setTimezoneOffset = (timezoneOffset)->
return @timezoneOffset = timezoneOffset
Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset = ->
return @timezoneOffset
Date.prototype.toString = ->
offsetTime = @timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000
offsetDate = new Date(@getTime() - offsetTime)
return offsetDate.toUTCString()
[
'Milliseconds', 'Seconds', 'Minutes', 'Hours',
'Date', 'Month', 'FullYear', 'Year', 'Day'
]
.forEach (key)=>
Date.prototype["get#{key}"] = ->
offsetTime = @timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000
offsetDate = new Date(@getTime() - offsetTime)
return offsetDate["getUTC#{key}"]()
Date.prototype["set#{key}"] = (value)->
offsetTime = @timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000
offsetDate = new Date(@getTime() - offsetTime)
offsetDate["setUTC#{key}"](value)
time = offsetDate.getTime() + offsetTime
@setTime(time)
return time
GMT -03:00 Example
new Date(new Date()-3600*1000*3).toISOString(); // 2020-02-27T15:03:26.261Z
Or even
now = new Date().getTime()-3600*1000*3; // 1582818380528
data = new Date(now).toISOString(); // 2020-02-27T15:03:26.261Z
Simply Set the Time Zone and Get Back According
new Date().toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone: "America/New_York"})
Other Time-zones are as Following

I don't believe this is possible - there is no ability to set the timezone on a Date object after it is created.
And in a way this makes sense - conceptually (if perhaps not in implementation); per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_timestamp (emphasis mine):
Unix time, or POSIX time, is a system for describing instants in time, defined as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of Thursday, January 1, 1970.
Once you've constructed one it will represent a certain point in "real" time. The time zone is only relevant when you want to convert that abstract time point into a human-readable string.
Thus it makes sense you would only be able to change the actual time the Date represents in the constructor. Sadly it seems that there is no way to pass in an explicit timezone - and the constructor you are calling (arguably correctly) translates your "local" time variables into GMT when it stores them canonically - so there is no way to use the int, int, int
constructor for GMT times.
On the plus side, it's trivial to just use the constructor that takes a String instead. You don't even have to convert the numeric month into a String (on Firefox at least), so I was hoping a naive implementation would work. However, after trying it out it works successfully in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera but fails in Konqueror ("Invalid Date") , Safari ("Invalid Date") and IE ("NaN"). I suppose you'd just have a lookup array to convert the month to a string, like so:
var months = [ '', 'January', 'February', ..., 'December'];
function createGMTDate(xiYear, xiMonth, xiDate) {
return new Date(months[xiMonth] + ' ' + xiDate + ', ' + xiYear + ' 00:00:00 GMT');
}
This may help someone, put UTC at the end of what you pass in to the new constructor
At least in chrome you can say var date = new Date("2014-01-01 11:00:00 UTC")
I was having a similar problem with a date picker. My research led to a very simple solution, without any extra libraries or hardcoded multipliers.
My date picker displays the date in a localized format: mm/dd/yyyy
However, it returns the date value in the ISO format: yyyy-mm-dd
//Select "08/12/2020" in Date Picker date_input
var input = $('#date_input').val(); //input: 2020-08-12
If you use the default returned date value without modifying the string format, the Date might not get set to your timezone. This can lead to unexpected results.
var input = $('#date_input').val(); //input: 2020-08-12
var date = new Date(input); //This get interpreted as an ISO date, already in UTC
//date: Tue Aug 11 2020 20:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
//date.toUTCString(): Wed, 12 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT
//date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'): 8/11/2020
Using a different date string format than the ISO standard yyyy-mm-dd applies your timezone to the Date.
var date = new Date("08/12/2020"); //This gets interpreted as local timezone
//date: Wed Aug 12 2020 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
//date.toUTCString(): Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:00:00 GMT
//date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'): 8/12/2020
To apply your timezone to the format-agnostic Date without doing string manipulation, use Date.getTimezoneOffset()
with Minutes. This works with either original date string format (i.e. UTC dates or localized dates). It provides a consistent result which can then be converted accurately to UTC for storage or interacting with other code.
var input = $('#date_input').val();
var date = new Date(input);
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() + date.getTimezoneOffset());
//date: Wed Aug 12 2020 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
//date.toUTCString(): Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:00:00 GMT
//date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'): 8/12/2020
