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

Timezone version 2.0.0 only support React Native version 0.62.3 and above due to React Native Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability.

React native version	Tested	Result
0.62.3 +	✅	✅
0.62.5 +	✅	✅
0.71.3 +	✅	✅

Installation

npm i react-native-timezone

iOS

Do cd ios/ && pod install.

Usage

import TimeZone from 'react-native-timezone';

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