Convert Only Time to The Relevent Timezone

Question

I am using moment js to get only the UTC time.

const time = moment().utc().format('HH:mm:ss');

example output is like this - "07:57:49"

I want to change this time value to relevant timezone value.

const americaTime = moment(time).tz("America/Los_Angeles").format();

But there is an warning saying - "Deprecation warning: value provided is not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format. moment construction falls back to js Date(), which is not reliable across all browsers and versions. Non RFC2822/ISO date formats are discouraged. Is there any alternative way to overcome this issue ?

You need to specify the format `HH:mm:ss` in the second param! — Ravikumar Rajendran, Oct 17 '22 at 08:15

const time = moment().utc().format('HH:mm:ss');

moment(time,'HH:mm:ss').tz("America/Los_Angeles").format();

You need to specify the format HH:mm:ss in the second param, momentjs throws this error because it is unable to parse the input without the format!

You can also display the time UTC, or in any IANA timezone with vanilla JS, using Date.toLocaleTimeString():

let dt = new Date();

const timeZones = ['UTC', 'America/Los_Angeles', 'America/New_York'];

console.log('Time zone'.padEnd(20), 'Current time')
for(let timeZone of timeZones) {
    console.log(timeZone.padEnd(20), dt.toLocaleTimeString('en', {  timeZone, hourCycle: 'h24', hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit', second: '2-digit' }));
}

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; }
