Convert datetime string to local datetime

Question

I have an API that returns a datetime string in this format 2020-02-15T06:51:00.000Z in the Eastern US timezone.

I am trying to convert it to my local timezone and I have tried simply passing it into a new date constructor like this new Date('2020-02-15T06:51:00.000Z') with no success.

How can I convert it to my local timezone?

Yes, True. But there is a resque https://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/using-timezones/converting-to-zone/ — Uchit Kumar, Feb 15 '20 at 12:17
That doesn't seem to work, I've tried this `moment.tz(date, 'Europe/London').format()` where `date` is my date `2020-02-15T06:51:00.000Z` and it just outputs `2020-02-15T06:51:00Z` — hcphoon, Feb 15 '20 at 12:22

You could try like:

new Date().toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone: "America/New_York"})
