I am trying to use luxon to generate a new date using a timezone. This is my code:
var luxon = require('luxon');
luxon.Settings.defaultZoneName = 'UTC+4';
var date = luxon.DateTime.local();
console.log(date);
var now = new Date(date.ts);
console.log(now.toString());
And this is the console:
DateTime {
ts: 2018-09-13T13:09:45.333+04:00,
zone: UTC+4,
locale: en-US }
Thu Sep 13 2018 11:09:45 GMT+0200 (CEST)
But if I try to access the ts
property like so
var date = luxon.DateTime.local();
console.log(date.ts); // here
var now = new Date(date.ts);
console.log(now.toString());
I get this in the console:
1536830052009
Thu Sep 13 2018 11:14:12 GMT+0200 (CEST)
Why is that? Is it doing some kind of math in the background? Also it turns out this date.ts
is just ignoring my timezone. How can I fix that?
