How to get local time from UTC using Moment.JS

 

Moment.JS is a beautiful javascript library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. This is a must have utility library when it comes to manipulating timestamps and dates in javascript.

Here I will show how to get local time if you have a utc date time string.

Lets say you have a UTC date-time string as 2014-02-19 05:24:32 AM and you want to determine time in your timezone then use following code:
 moment.utc('2014-02-19 05:24:32 AM').toDate();

toDate() method gives javascript Date() object.

Below I have shared an example of how to use it. You can click on JavaScript link below to see the code.

For the purpose of demonstrate I will simulate delay using setTimeout() function instead of an ajax request. So for an example lets consider following setup 1. Template <script id="PersonTemplate" type="text/x-handlebars-template"> <div> {{firstName}} {{lastName}} <div> <div id="divPartial"> <a href="{{website}}">{{website}}</a> </div> </script> 2. Backbone Model var PersonModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ defaults: { firstName: 'Bharat', lastName: 'Patil', website: '' } }); 3.

6 steps to create local copy of your live WordPress site
