pellepim / jstimezonedetect Goto Github PK

The documentation says "There is an updated demo running on: http://pellepim.bitbucket.org/jstz/.", but this URL appears dead.

Hi,
tags corresponding to npm registry are missing, could you add them? At least v1.0.7 ?

After recent Windows upgrade jstz library is failing on Windows server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4489881/windows-8-1-update-kb4489881

Other libraries using Intl also are facing this issue and have wrapped their code in try catch to avoid this.

I am using RequireJS to manage my JS modules and I am having a tough time trying to update from 1.0.5 to 1.0.7.

This is my change to config.js:

-       jstz: '/app/assets/vendor/jstimezonedetect/jstz',
+       jstz: '/app/assets/vendor/jstimezonedetect/dist/jstz.min',

When I try to reference jstz in the code I get the following error:

ReferenceError: "jstz is not defined"

This is my calling code:

        var timezone = jstz.determine();
        timeZoneField.val(timezone.name());

Are there any other steps to upgrading or am I missing something?

Half of this was posted as an Issue on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/pellepim/jstimezonedetect/issues/177/asia-calcutta-this-is-wrong

The spellings of Kolkata and Kathmandu are Anglicized. I haven't checked others, but these were next to each other.

These names are required to be interpreted correctly by PHP:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.asia.php

I notice there has not been any commits for a year and issues have not been responded to.
Is this project now abandoned?

This library currently returns a number of timezones that have been deprecated by the tz database (and consequently current versions of programming languages like PHP).

A few legacy timezones that I have noticed being returned recently include:

• America/Buenos_Aires => Should be America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires
• America/Indianapolis => Should be America/Indiana/Indianapolis
• Asia/Calcutta => Should be Asia/Kolkata
• America/Montreal => Doesn't exist in PHP's current list. Should be America/Toronto I believe.
• Etc/GMT-8 => Should be mapped to Asia/Hong_Kong or similar.
• Etc/GMT-2 => Should be mapped to Europe/Amsterdam or similar.

See PHP's deprecated timezone list here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php
(Which matches up with the tz database. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)

Ideally all of these legacy timezones should be mapped to currently supported values as listed at e.g. https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones

Browser: Google Chrome 83.0.4103.116
Windows Timezone: (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Detected Timezone: America/Bogota

Eastern Time is currently in daylight savings, which makes it UTC-04:00.
The library reports the timezone as America/Bogota which has the same offset as Eastern Standard Time, but does not have daylight savings.
This then leads to picking up the wrong offset UTC-05:00 instead of the actual offset UTC-04:00.

When running tests using Capybara and Poltergeist with v1.0.7 I get the following error: Can't find variable: Intl
