Node.js client library for accessing Google Time Zone API. It provides time offset data for locations on the surface of the earth. Requesting the time zone information for a specific Latitude/Longitude pair will return the name of that time zone, the time offset from UTC, and the Daylight Savings offset.
$ npm install timezoner var timezoner = require('timezoner');
/* Request timezone with location coordinates */
timezoner.getTimeZone(
39.6034810, // Latitude coordinate
-119.6822510, // Longitude coordinate
function (err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
}
);#####Response data:
{
"dstOffset" : 0.0,
"rawOffset" : -28800.0,
"status" : "OK",
"timeZoneId" : "America/Los_Angeles",
"timeZoneName" : "Pacific Standard Time"
}
You can pass in an optional options as a last argument, it can be useful for override sensor of Google Timezone API. The sensor defaults to false.
timezoner.getTimeZone(
39.6034810,
-119.6822510,
function (err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
},
{ sensor: true }
);The sensor specifies whether the application requesting data is using a sensor (such as a GPS device) to determine the user's location. It accepts true or false.
You can find more details about response and different status of response from Time Zone Responses.
