Javascript toLocaleTimeString() not working

Question

Hello I have a piece of code

var date = new Date("11/12/2014 02:58:11 UTC");

console.info(date.toString());

console.info(date.toLocaleTimeString());

console.info(date.toLocaleDateString());

and display:

Tue Nov 11 2014 16:58:11 GMT-1000 (Hawaiian Standard Time)

9:58:11 AM

11/12/2014

My time zone is (UTC-10:00) Hawaii

date.toString(); displays correctly, but toLocaleTimeString() , toLocaleDateString() displays incorrect output

How do I fix this issue?

Answer 1

You can provide the time zone in the options parameter to toLocaleTimeString() :

date.toLocaleTimeString('en-US',{timeZone:'America/Adak'})

The time zone has to be specified from the IANA time zone database, which is a little odd... but it works.

Answer 2

Use it like so:

dateObj.toLocaleTimeString([locales[, options]])

console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString('en-US'));
