'Using timezones with @nuxtjs/moment

We use the @nuxtjs/moment (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nuxtjs/moment) package in our nuxt application.

In our app we want to display GMT-timestamps in the users timezone like so:

<div>{{ $moment("2019-04-25 19:01:03").fromNow() }}</div>

But on my PC the result is just

2 hours ago because I'm based in germany.

Is there any way to set the default timezone to GMT so that the function works correctly? I've looked into moment-timezone but have no idea how to implement that to a nuxt application.

Solution 1:[1]

Looks like there's an open issue in the repo for this here. What I'd suggest doing instead is adding moment-timezone as a plugin until that feature is merged.

Install

npm install moment-timezone

Add the plugin import

// nuxt.config.js
export default {
  plugins: ['~/plugins/moment-timezone-inject.js']
}

Create the plugin

// ~/plugins/moment-timezone-inject.js

const moment = require('moment-timezone');
export default ({ app }, inject) => {
  // Inject into context, Due instances, and Vuex store
  inject('moment_timezone', moment)
}

Usage

// Add whatever timezone you need
<div>{{ $moment_timezone("2019-04-25 19:01:03").tz("Asia/Taipei"); }}</div>

Update

You can enable moment-timezone via the timezone option, by adding this to nuxt.config.js:

export default {
  buildModules: [
    '@nuxtjs/moment'
  ],
  moment: {
    timezone: true
  }
}

Setting default Time Zone:

moment: {
    defaultTimezone: 'America/Los_Angeles'
  }

It depends on which country the date you put in the $moment function is for, you should set the same in this section
