I’ve seen multiple questions around this and this post did not clarify it for me.
I get ISO 8601 time from a query and want to display that result different depending on user config in a datagrid.
I have tried different methods both from documentation and stackoverflow, but none seems to give the expected result, which would be UTC-time fromNow(), but instead shows local time fromNow(). In console the values seems right until moment.fromNow()
// Changes value on item["StartTime"] based on user config before it pushed.
else {
let time = item["StartTime"] // Outputs ISO 8601
switch (true) {
case (userConfig.general.dateFormat == "From now" && userConfig.general.useLocal == false):
var utcDate = new Date(time).toUTCString();
utcDate = moment(utcDate).fromNow()
item["StartTime"] = utcDate
break;
....
....
}
You should use
moment.utc
.From the docs:
