How to detect time zone abbreviation using JavaScript?
To detect time zone abbreviation using JavaScript, we can use the toLocaleTimeString method.
For instance, we write
const [, , zone] = new Date()
.toLocaleTimeString("en-us", { timeZoneName: "short" })
.split(" ");
console.log(zone);
to create a Date object.
And then we call toLocaleTimeString to get a locale time string in the 'en-us' locale.
We set timeZoneName to 'short' to return a time string that includes the time zone abbreviation.
