Setting a different timezone for client in javascript

Question

I wanted to know if this is possible?

I looked everywhere and I don't want to change the time integer of the Date object because I use it at service requests.

I encounter this problem with some other devices. new Date() from device returns Fri Nov 02 2018 09:27:33 GMT+0200 (EET) and new Date() from chrome returns Fri Nov 02 2018 10:27:33 GMT+0200 (EET)

but new Date().getTime() from device and new Date().getTime() from chrome returns same value and I want this value to stay like this.

Wait you want something closer to the UTC timestamp, or do you want it to display as a different time zone? — Robert Mennell, Nov 02 '18 at 07:37
@RobertMennell I want it to display a different time zone when "new Date()" is called — Çağatay Sarp Aksu, Nov 02 '18 at 07:40
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleString this will do the trick if you know the locale, and if not you can set the timezone manually — Robert Mennell, Nov 02 '18 at 08:33

How to format a JavaScript date

You can use libraries like Moment-js and Moment-timezone js

I wrote a example code

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.22.2/moment.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment-timezone/0.5.23/moment-timezone-with-data-2012-2022.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>time of My Country is <span id="mycountryTime"></span></div>
        <div>time of New York is <span id="newyorkTime"></span></div>
    </body>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function(){    
            var mycountryTime = moment();
            var newyorkTime   = moment.tz(moment(), "America/New_York");

            $('#mycountryTime').html(mycountryTime.format());
            $('#newyorkTime').html(newyorkTime.format());
        });
    </script>
</html>

moment-js is for formatting date. moment-timezone js is for getting date based on timezone.

more details on this are in https://momentjs.com/docs/

I hope it would be helpful.

and you don't need to set date for everywhere each client's browser will make date about their own country
