How to Convert UTC date & time to EST date & time in javascript?

Question

I want to UTC date & time to EST date & time, I have tried this

var offset = -5.0
var clientDate = new Date();
var utc = clientDate.getTime() + (clientDate.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

var serverDate = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));

console.log(serverDate.toLocaleString())

but the output is wrong it's showing 1 hour slow

EST is -4 right now, not -5. The offset value -5.0 is incorrect. — user120242, Jun 23 '20 at 05:29

To make your life easier, use Moment.js for your dates.

let taipeiDate = moment.utc(utc).tz("Asia/Taipei");
let torontoDate = moment.utc(utc).tz("America/Toronto");
let newYorkDate = moment.utc(utc).tz("America/New_York");
