Initialize A Moment With The Timezone Offset That I Created It With
I'm using moment and moment-timezone in javascript, and this part of it is one of the most unintuitive API's I've ever seen. I would expect that: moment('2015-12-14T04:00:00Z').utc
Solution 1:
Use parseZone
to keep the offset as it was passed in.
moment.parseZone("2015-12-14T04:00:00Z")
As to the "why?" part of your question:
moment(...)
is local mode. Ambiguous input (without offset) is assumed to be local time. Unambiguous input (with offset) is adjusted to local time.moment.utc(...)
is utc mode. Ambiguous input is assumed to be UTC. Unambiguous input is adjusted to UTC.moment.parseZone()
keep the input zone passed in. If the input is ambiguous, it is the same as local mode.moment.tz(...)
with the moment-timezone plugin can parse input in a specific time zone.
Keep in mind that moment has to contend with a wide variety of inputs.
Also keep in mind that a time zone and a time zone offset are two different things. An offset of -08:00
doesn't necessarily mean you are in the US Pacific time zone.
