Hey there @parekh-raj, this is unfortunate. I've dug into this issue many times and here's how it works:
tzdb (this package) does an Intl.DateTimeFormat call to get the current time zone information for a zone. This call itself then use any version of the timezone database available inside Node.js.
So it really depends how up-to-date your Node.js version is. And even that, the latest Node.js version (17.7.2) is not completely up to date with the latest tzdata version (lagging two versions behind).
I am not sure there's a way to solve this easily. Maybe @eblokhin since you touched a bit on this subject you have some thoughts?
Thanks!
Please correct me if I'm wrong. 😇
I took an example of timezone America/Matamoros.
Context I used
getTimeZones()
function. For the above timezone(America/Matamoros),currentTimeOffsetInMinutes
returns -360. As you could see here that we had a DST onSunday, March 13, 2022
. So now it's UTC-5.Question Shouldn't it return -300 for
currentTimeOffsetInMinutes
?Also the respective
currentTimeFormat
string is wrong. It's showing-06:00 ...
instead of-05:00 ...
