react-native-timezone v3.0.1
React Native Timezone and Region
A Simple react native module to get the Timezone and the Region of the Android/iOS devices.
Motivation
For a project of mine, I had to acquire the currently selected timezone of the user. Unfortunately, I could not find any react native package or react native in-build function that facilitates this. Thus I created a small library.
v3.0.0 and above, you can access the Region details. More details can be found below.
Compatibility
Timezone version 3.0.0 only supports React Native version 0.62.3 and above due to the React Native Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability.
React native version | Tested | Result |
---|---|---|
0.62.3 + | ✅ | ✅ |
0.70.0 + | ✅ | ✅ |
0.73.0 + | ✅ | ✅ |
Installation
npm i react-native-timezone
iOS
Do cd ios/ && pod install
or npx pod-install
.
Usage
import TimeZone from 'react-native-timezone';
export default function App() {
React.useEffect(() => {
const timezone = Timezone.getTimeZone();
const isAutoTimeZoneEnabled = Timezone.isAutoTimeZoneEnabled();
const telephonyRegion = Timezone.getRegionByTelephony();
const localeRegion = Timezone.getRegionByLocale();
// Update state or use data as needed
}, []);
// Render your component
}
