Get UTC date time by Date and time Zone name-CodePudding

I need a function to get UTC date-time. I passed only the date, time and time zone name only. I need to get the UTC time and date. Thank You

Ex:

const utcDate = getUTCDateTime("2022-05-10","18:00" "America/Hermosillo");

// OutPut should be like this ==>> 2022-05-11T01:00:00.527Z

function getUTCDateTime(date,time, timeZoneName){

   //Logic
   return utcDate;
}

You should try and take a look at this forum. There have been many answers relating to your question. How can I get the timezone name in JavaScript?

I would use a library like Day.js for this purpose. You can parse the date and time in a timezone then format as UTC.

dayjs.extend(utc);
dayjs.extend(timezone);
dayjs.extend(customParseFormat);

function getUTCDateTime(date, time, timeZoneName){

   const utcDate = dayjs.tz(`${date} ${time}`, "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm", timeZoneName).utc().format();
   return utcDate;
}

Have not tested yet but you can play around and achieve what you need with this library
