react-native-timezone

React Native Timezone

A Simple react native module to get Timezone of the Android/iOS device.

Motivation

For a project of mine, I had to acquire the current selected timezone of the user. But unfortunately I could not find any react native package or react native in-build function which facilitates this. Thus I created a small library.

Compatibility

React native version	Tested	Result
< 0.60.0	❓	❓
>= 0.60.0	✅	✅

NOTE: Currently I've only tested this library with RN projects >= 0.60.0. If you tested this with older versions of RN, please let me know the status.

Installation

For RN version >= 0.60.0,

npm i --save react-native-timezone

iOS

cd ios/ && pod install

Android

Nothing else to do after npm install.

Usage

import TimeZone from 'react-native-timezone';

getTimeZone = async() => {
 const timeZone = await TimeZone.getTimeZone().then(zone => zone);
 console.log({ timeZone });
}
