dayjs-abbr-timezone

dayjs-abbr-timezone

This package is a plugin for day.js that enhances the format function to correctly output abbreviated time zones. This is especially beneficial when the standard z format does not meet your requirements.

For instance, when the timezone is set to Asia/Tokyo, the z format would usually output GMT+9. However, with this plugin, you can use the tz format to output JST correctly.

Installation

npm install dayjs-abbr-timezone

Usage

To use the plugin, first import it into your file:

import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import abbrTimezone from 'dayjs-abbr-timezone';

dayjs.extend(abbrTimezone);

Then you can use the format function with the tz option:

const date = dayjs('2023-01-01T12:00:00Z');
console.log(date.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss tz'));

This will correctly display the abbreviated timezone rather than the standard GMT display.
