ez-local-time

ez-local-time

The easiest way to deal with local times, dates, and time zones in JavaScript. No heavy API, like Moment.js, just local times, dates, and time zones using the JavaScript Date API.

If you have ever tried to extract and use dates and times in Javascript, you know that it can really be a hassle and a real pain in the ass. Never deal with new Date or Date.now() again when trying to deal with local time, dates, or time zones. You provide the region/timezone, or better yet you can even let us detect it, and get the local date & time for that region/timezone.
