Need to tell current time (UTC offset) in a country #9

Closed mariusa closed 4 years ago

Hola,

The API returns two UTC offsets: utcOffsetStr & dstOffsetStr.

However, there's no way to tell what is the current time in a country, knowing UTC time.

It would be great if

the country information API would return if the country is NOW on DST or not.
the timezone data would either have utcOffset & utcOffsetStr return CURRENT offset, or have 2 extra fields, utcCurrentOffset & utcCurrentOffsetStr

Thank you!

Hi @mariusa It's a great idea. Unfortunately since each country has their own rules it's very complex to achieve, so it won't be supported for now. For that propuse I'd recommend to use Moment Timezone.
