Detecting Time Zone

let response = {
    "locationData": {
        "tz": "America/New_York",
    }
};

let options = { timeZone: response.locationData.tz, timeZoneName: 'short' };
let localTime = new Intl.DateTimeFormat([], options).format(new Date());

console.log("The user is visiting from the timezone:", response.locationData.tz, "and the local time is:", localTime);

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

var response = map[string]map[string]string{
	"locationData": {
		"tz": "America/New_York",
	},
}

func main() {
	loc, _ := time.LoadLocation(response["locationData"]["tz"])
	localTime := time.Now().In(loc).Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05 MST")
	fmt.Println("The user is visiting from the timezone:", response["locationData"]["tz"], "and the local time is:", localTime)
}

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

response =  requests.get(url, headers=headers)
response = response.json()

tz = pytz.timezone(response['locationData']['tz'])
localTime = datetime.now(tz).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z')

print("The user is visiting from the timezone:", response['locationData']['tz'], "and the local time is:", localTime)

Schedule Events in Visitor's Time Zone

Generate future event timestamps in the visitor's local time zone for scheduling tasks like emails or cron jobs. This example schedules an event for 11 AM on the first day of next month, formatted as PostgreSQL timestamp with time zone.

let response = {
    "locationData": {
        "tz": "America/New_York",
    }
};

let now = new Date();
// Get the first day of next month at 11am
let firstDayNextMonth = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth() + 1, 1, 11, 0, 0);
let options = { timeZone: response.locationData.tz, hour12: false, year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit', hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit', second: '2-digit' };
// Format the time to be Postgres friendly and concatenate the timezone
let formattedTime = new Intl.DateTimeFormat([], options).format(firstDayNextMonth) + " " + response.locationData.tz;

console.log(formattedTime);  // Output: 2023-11-01 11:00:00 America/New_York

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

var response = map[string]map[string]string{
	"locationData": {
		"tz": "America/New_York",
	},
}

func main() {
	loc, _ := time.LoadLocation(response["locationData"]["tz"])
	now := time.Now()
	// Get the first day of next month at 11am
	firstDayNextMonth := time.Date(now.Year(), now.Month()+1, 1, 11, 0, 0, 0, loc)
	// Format the time to be Postgres friendly and concatenate the timezone
	formattedTime := firstDayNextMonth.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05 ") + response["locationData"]["tz"]
	fmt.Println(formattedTime)  // Output: 2023-11-01 11:00:00 America/New_York
}
