Time zone

You can provide one of the following values for application.timeZone:

  • client:

    • If the client sends a date, Indiekit will leave the date untouched
    • If the client does not send a date, Indiekit will use the current date as UTC

  • server (detects the server’s time zone, possibly set via TZ environment variable or other means):

    • If the client sends a date, Indiekit will update the date to use the server’s time zone
    • If the client does not send a date, Indiekit will use the current date with the server’s time zone

  • Any value from the IANA tz database:

    • If the client sends a date, Indiekit will update the date to use the given time zone
    • If the client does not send a date, Indiekit will use the current date with the given time zone

The default value for application.timeZone is UTC.

So for example, assuming the current local time is 2020-09-23T19:00:00+01:00 Europe/London, given the following values sent by the client for published, the date Indiekit saves would be as follows:

client server Asia/Taipei UTC
Client doesn’t send a date 2020-09-23T18:00:00.000Z 2020-09-23T19:00:00.000+01:00 2020-09-24T02:00:00.000+08:00 2020-09-23T18:00:00.000Z
