JavaScript change timezone – Twitter-api

Hello I am using Twitter REST API to call the home_timeline for timelines.

But I found that the object it returned had the created_at with GMT+0 timezone, how can I adjust the timezone to the user’s local timezone for example GMT+8?

Here is the original data with GMT+0 from Twitter API:

Wed May 04 16:23:13 +0000 2016

    what’s the expected output format?

    you can try:

    var d = new Date('Wed May 04 16:23:13 +0000 2016');
var localeTime = d.toLocaleString();
console.log(localeTime);

    if you expect a specific output format, you can use http://momentjs.com/timezone/ , to change both the timezone and format

    I’m highly recommend to use MomentJS timezone library.

    Furthermore, I’m recommend not to use GMT+8 label for time shifting, and use, for example, “Asia/Shanghai” instead. I would save hours to debug for you.

    So, code barebone look like:

    let moment = require("moment-timezone");
moment("Wed May 04 16:23:13 +0000 2016").tz("Asia/Shanghai").format('YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss')

    Output would be something like "20160505 12:23:13".

    Thanks!
