utcToZonedTime not accepting the offset

[herrernst]

I think I have the same use case. I know the offset value of the timezone (in ms, fwiw), but don't have a time zone name. So i just would want to pass that offset as number to utcToZonedTime.

I was having a similar issue and had a look at the documentation.
For a specific hour/mins offset, you need to provide an offset value in the form of [+-]HH or [+-]HHMM, like this:

// PLUS 4 hour offset
const localDate = datefns.utcToZonedTime(new Date(), '+04');

// MINUS 2 hour 30 mins offset
const localDate = datefns.utcToZonedTime(new Date(), '-0230');

@psmod2 If you're using getTimezoneOffset(), it will return an offset in minutes, so you'd need to divide by 60 to get number of hours needed, and then convert to a string which is in the format similar to the example above
