Default Timezone for Country

Version 0.1.0

Author: Rahul Gupta-Iwasaki

Summary

Provides a reasonable default timezone for every country.

• For when you need to know approximately what time it probably is, but it doesn't need to be perfect.
• Uses the same timezones that Microsoft does in Windows 10 when a user first logs in.
• Exposes UTC offset info ("+XX:YY") indexed by ISO-3166 country code.

Right now, the easiest way to use it is probably just to copy the json file at //data/default_timezone_by_country_code.json.

If using npm, you can also:

1. npm install https://github.com/rahulgi/default-timezones

2. and then in your Javascript code:

   // require the json object
   const defaultTimezoneByCountryCode = require("default-timezone-for-country/data/default_timezone_by_country_code.json")
   // get the default timezone info for the United States
   console.log(defaultTimezoneByCountryCode["US"])
   // {
   //   country_name: 'United States',
   //   timezone_name: 'Pacific Standard Time',
   //   timezone_description: 'Pacific Time (US & Canada)',
   //   utc_offset: '-08:00'
   // }
