Get current time zone

[krajcikondra]

Hi,

I need to get name of current time zone. When I change time zone in google chrome Dev Tools -> click on three dots -> More Tools -> Sensors and change timezone to Tokyo. Check timezone in following script

const currentTimeZone = ZonedDateTime.now().zone(); 
console.log(currentTimeZone);

then I get following output:

ZoneRegion {_id: 'Europe/Prague', _rules: MomentZoneRules}

I expect "Asia\Tokyo" but I get "Europe/Prague".

Do am I something bad or is that bug?

Thanks in advance

Hi @krajcikondra , thanks for using js-joda and reporting this interesting issue.

The time we have been writing the code for detecting the system timezone, changing the timezone required a browser restart. Therefore timezone is detected only once at script startup time and not at runtime. Internally we are using Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone to determine zone info, so theoretically, with a little change in our code base, it should be possible to fix the issue.

I will mark the issue as an enhancement.
