utc-to-berlin v0.1.0

utc-to-berlin

single purpose library to transform UTC dates to the Europe/Berlin timezone

What this does do

utc-to-berlin exposes a function utcToBerlin(date:Date). Throw in a JavaScript Date object and it will be modifed to represent the same time in Europe/Berlin, with respect to Daylight Savings Time.

What this does not do

This library is pre-filled with switchover dates from 2018 through 2023 so it won't work with dates in 2017 or 2024 or... well, you get the idea. utcToBerlin also does not return a Date object that conforms to what you might be used to from working with Date objects (implying one can actually get used to working with Date objects to begin with); it is imperative that you exclusively use UTC-Methods when retreiving values from it. This might seem counter-intuitive, but keep in mind that the only (sane and working) way to retreive values from a JavaScript Date object that aren't immediately assumed to respect local timezones is using the UTC methods.

Again, keep in mind:

This is a single purpose library. It is not pretty, but it works. It only works if you use *UTC-methods in order to retreive values from the resulting Date object.
