date-fns-tz does not consider Daylight Saving Time in my country
Mohamed-Mayallo opened this issue · 3 comments
My country (Egypt) has restored Daylight Saving Time after a long pause. My app now is not working properly like before because of the timezone shifting.
The timezone was +02:00
but now it is actually +03:00
, however, date-fns-tz
is still considering it +02:00
.
Hello, I recommend using Luxon as it works correctly!
https://www.npmjs.com/package/luxon
import {DateTime} from "luxon"
console.log(DateTime.utc().toISO())
console.log(DateTime.now().setZone('Africa/Cairo').toISO())
I have the same issue in my country(italy):
const inputFromBackend = {
start: '14:30:00',
end: '18:45:00',
}
// 2.
let startHours = inputFromBackend.start.split(':').map(Number)
let endHours = inputFromBackend.end.split(':').map(Number)
let time = {
start: new Date(Date.UTC(1970, 0, 1, startHours[0], startHours[1], startHours[2])).toISOString(),
end: new Date(Date.UTC(1970, 0, 1, endHours[0], endHours[1], endHours[2])).toISOString()
}
console.log(time)
const fullLocalTime = {
localStart: formatInTimeZone(time.start, timeZone, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss zzz', { locale: itIT }),
localEnd: formatInTimeZone(time.end, timeZone, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss zzz', { locale: enGB }),
}
console.log(fullLocalTime)

Europe/Rome
{
start: "1970-01-01T14:30:00.000Z",
end: "1970-01-01T18:45:00.000Z",
}
{
localStart: "1970-01-01 15:30:00 CET",
localEnd: "1970-01-01 19:45:00 CET",
}
localStart and localEnd should be CEST not CET!
Here the table where italy switchs timezone
Just my comments here. The date-fns rely mostly on JS native Date and Intl support, so to get this fixed you most likely have to update your browser, or NodeJS version with version that has the Intl implementation adjusted to any changes in the DST logic.
