How to Convert Between Timezones in Javascript

Question

am building a livescore but the API am using is returning time that is 2hrs ahead of my local time, and I can't convert it to my country's time since different users from different countries will be accessing the livescore. I don't know the api timezone.. But I want a function that will get the api timezone and convert to the user's local time

For http://momentjs.com users, you can now use

http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/.

Using it, your function would look something like this:

function toTimeZone(time, zone) {
    var format = 'YYYY/MM/DD/HH:mm:ss ZZ'; 
    return moment(time, format).tz(zone).format(format); 
 }

You can use momentjs . Example fiddle `

var serverdate = "Fri Jun 15 2018 08:03:23 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)"

var date3 =  moment(serverdate) // this will automatically convert the date to the time zone on  user's machine

alert(date3)
