The below is wrong, it should use "British Summer Time" name instead.

Globalize('en-GB').formatDate(new Date(2017,8,1), {datetime: 'full', timeZone: 'Europe/London'})
'Friday, 1 September 2017 at 04:00:00 GMT+01:00'

Edit: this has been fixed.

To quickly demo what's coming... I hope you like it!

npm install globalize@1.3.0-alpha.0 cldr-data iana-tz-data

var Globalize = require( "globalize" );
Globalize.load( require( "cldr-data" ).entireSupplemental() );
Globalize.load( require( "cldr-data" ).entireMainFor( "en" ) );
Globalize.loadIANATimezone( require( "iana-tz-data" ) );

Globalize( "en" ).formatDate(new Date(), {datetime: "short", timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles"});

@rxaviers I LOVE YOU. We need this.

[mattyork]

Any updates on this? We need to add support for timezones in the next few weeks.

Globalize compiler isn't working with the alpha. Versions used:

    "globalize": "1.3.0-alpha.3",
    "globalize-compiler": "0.3.0-alpha.3",
    "iana-tz-data": "2017.1.0",

Here's the script that's failing:

const ianaTzData = require('iana-tz-data');
const Globalize = require("globalize");
const cldrData = require('./vendor/cldr-data.json');
Globalize.loadIANATimeZone(ianaTzData);
Globalize.load(cldrData);
Globalize.locale("en");

const date = new Date();
const d1 = Globalize.dateFormatter({ datetime: "full" })
console.log(d1(date))

const globalizeCompiler = require('globalize-compiler');

const out = globalizeCompiler.compile([d1])

It fails here in the globalize compiler, failing to extract the formatter because it doesn't have the runtimeArgs.

Hi @mattyork, we should have a 1.3.0 soon.

About the issue above, Thanks for reporting it.

[rxaviers]

For the record, the fix for the dateFormatter runtime issue is here: #724

Rebased and squashed
