Moment timezone for local time

Get all matching timezones given a local time and a timestamp.
Moment-timezone-for-local-time is a Moment.js plugin.

// Given a timestamp, for which timezones is the local time 03:00 ?
moment.tz.forLocalTime(3, 0, new Date("2000-01-01T00:00:00Z"));
// -> ["Africa/Algiers", ..., "Europe/Paris", ...]

Installation

In browser:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/moment-timezone-for-local-time"></script>
<!-- Plugin is then available at window.momentTimezoneForLocalTime -->

In Node:

npm install moment-timezone-for-local-time

import * as momentTzForLocalTime from "moment-timezone-for-local-time"; // ES Modules
const momentTzForLocalTime = require("moment-timezone-for-local-time"); // CommonJS

You may need to install moment-timezone if not already installed.

Version compatibility

Indicates the version to use according your moment-timezone version.

moment-timezone	moment-timezone-for-local-time	notes
>= 0.5.30	1.1.0
>= 0.5.29	1.0.0	use at least moment 2.15.0 to avoid type conflicts
>= 0.2.0	0.1.1
0.1.0	0.1.0

Setup

Let's extend the moment instance

import * as moment from "moment-timezone";
momentTzForLocalTime.extend(moment); // Adds moment.tz.forLocalTime function
moment.tz.forLocalTime();

It's also possible to not extend the moment instance

const forLocalTime = momentTzForLocalTime.forLocalTime.bind(moment.tz);
forLocalTime();

Usage

// fn(hour, minute, timestamp)
forLocalTime(3, 0, new Date("2000-01-01T00:00:00Z"));
forLocalTime(3, 0, new Date("2000-01-01T00:00:00Z").getTime());
forLocalTime(3, 0, moment("2000-01-01T00:00:00Z"));
// The above 3 calls are equal

// timestamp defaults to Date.now()
forLocalTime(10, 30);

// List all timezones with the same local time as current system
forLocalTime();

Returns an array of timezone identifiers e.g. ["Africa/Algiers", ..., "Europe/Paris", ...].
The returned array can be empty when local time and timestamp don't match any timezone.

A RangeError will be thrown when:

• hour isn't in [0, 23]
• minute isn't in [0, 59]

Decimals will be floored.

// The below calls are equal
forLocalTime(3.9, 0.9, 0.9);
forLocalTime(3, 0, 0);

The result of calls to forLocalTime depends on timezone data loaded into moment. Make sure you load the right dataset for your use (e.g. 10 year range, 1970-2030, ...).
