dayjs: How to doesn't convert date to local timezone-CodePudding

I have a date string const someDate = 2023-02-13T09:00:00.000-05:00

The problem is when I'm formatting it via dayjs

dayjs(someDate).format('h:mm A')

It returns me string according to my local timezone, when I need to keep like I received. Any way to disable converting time to local timezone in dayjs?

Yes!

You can disable converting to local timezone in dayjs by passing in the original timezone as an additional argument in the dayjs constructor.

Example:

const someDate = "2023-02-13T09:00:00.000-05:00";
const originalTimezone = someDate.slice(-6);
const formattedDate = dayjs(someDate).utcOffset(originalTimezone).format('h:mm A');

The utcOffset() method allows you to set the offset in minutes from UTC for a specific date instance. The originalTimezone constant is used to extract the timezone offset (-05:00) from the original date string someDate, and pass it to the utcOffset() method. This will ensure that the formatted date stays in the original timezone.
