API

Parse

get an instance in UTC

  dayjs.utc() 
  dayjs.utc('2018-05-18T03:04:05+06:00') 
  /* (string | number | Date | Dayjs) support like dayjs() */

Get

with dayjs().utcOffset() you can get the UTC offset in minutes.

Note: dayjs().utcOffset() returns the real offset from UTC, not the reverse offset (as returned by Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset).

also you can check the timezone of an instance is local or UTC by dayjs().isLocal() and dayjs().isUTC()

  dayjs().utcOffset() // (-480, -120, 0, 120, 480, etc.)
  dayjs().isLocal()   // true
  dayjs().isUTC()     // false

Set

using dayjs().utc() and dayjs().local() you can set the timezone to UTC or you local timezone , and dayjs().utcOffset(Number) you can specify the timezone you want

  let day = dayjs('2018-05-18T03:04:05+06:00')
  
  day.utc().format()           // 2018-05-17T21:04:05+00:00

  day.local().format()         // 2018-05-18T05:04:05+08:00

  day.utcOffset(240).format()  // 2018-05-18T01:04:05+04:00
