How can i get accurate date time according to the current time zone in angular

Question

I want to get the exact date and time when user opens a page in his browser. I am trying to achieve this by using 'new Date()'.

 console.log(new Date());

Now, the issue is that it is picking user's machine time by default. For example, if I change my machine time manually, the output will be changed accordingly.

1. Use a timeserver, for instance via ntp-time package
