mock-browser-timezone v1.0.2

mock-browser-timezone

A Javascript library to mock the browser's timezone using ECMAScript Internationalization API.

What's different?

Many modern browsers use the Intl API to get the desired IANA timezone string which depicts the current browser timezone.

This library is specifically designed to mock the browser timezone, assisting to test the relevant code which uses the Intl API.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install mock-browser-timezone --save-dev

Using yarn:

yarn add mock-browser-timezone -D

API

Usage

For a better implementation of mock-browser-timezone, have a look at mock-browser-timezone.js file.

const {
  registerTimezone,
  registerAbbreviatedTimezone,
  reset,
} = require('mock-browser-timezone');

// Mocking the timezone using IANA timezone string.
registerTimezone('Europe/Paris');

reset(); // Default back to the orginal value.

new Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone; // Europe/Paris

registerAbbreviatedTimezone('CET');

new Intl.DateTimeFormat([], {
  timeZoneName: 'short',
})
  .formatToParts(date)
  .find((locale) => locale.type === 'timeZoneName').value; // CET

reset(); // Default back to the orginal abbreviated timezone value.
