toNativeDate does not factor in timezone offset

[copleykj]

calling the toNativeDate() method returns a date equal to the date when initialized.

The correct functionality is housed within the spacetimeInstance.d getter but it is marked as deprecated and specifies to use the toNativeDate()

hey Kelly, yep the js Date object will be in your local timezone, without the offset applied. If you want a js date with the offset applied, i'd do let d = new Date(s.epoch)

i know this is a mess, receptive to ideas to improve either the docs or API cheers

[copleykj]

let d = new Date(s.epoch)

This is exactly what .toNativeDate() does and the date returned is the same as the original starting date.

oh right - maybe this could work then

let d = new Date(s.iso())

cheers
