DOCS: how to set alternate timezone (UTC), rather than local browser date?

[0o-de-lally]

Pickadate seems to use the local timezone of the browser.

I'd like to use pickadate to save and load times in a different timezones. Specifically in my case I need to have the dates be standardized in UTC.

I can't seem to find any documentation for this. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

bump
I tried everything, and same problem. This mixes local and UTC time

This is serious issue. This datepicker is essentially useless if it doesn't allow a way to extract a consistent epoch across timezones.

I totally agree, I had to do ugly things to work this around.

My workaround is to subtract new Date().getTimezoneOffset()(adjusted to milliseconds) from the datepicker's epoch whenever I need to get and work with the selected value, and to add new Date().getTimezoneOffset() whenever I need to set the date on the datepicker (to ensure the displayed date matches the user's locale).

nice :) Thanks.

Is there a setting that fixes this yet? This is a horrible bug thats affecting a business with primarily visitors from Asia.

When setting my location to San Francisco in Chrome :

I had the date in the datepicker being changed to yesterday. I wanted the user from another timezone to see exactly the date I wanted (booking products for the current day here).

After installing moment timezone
npm i moment-timezone

Then setting timezone
moment.tz.setDefault("Europe/Paris);

It fix the issue. The date is no longer yesterday when in SF.

When you guys set min and max for the date, don't use function like this: new Date("yyyy-mm-dd"), but create a function to convert the string date like this:

function convertDateToArray(e) {
      return [(e = e.split('-'))[0], e[1] - 1, e[2]];
 }

for an example:

function convertDateToArray(e) {
    return [(e = e.split('-'))[0], e[1] - 1, e[2]];
}

const min = "2023-10-31"
const max = "2023-11-05"

pickerDate.set({
  min: convertDateToArray(min),
  max: convertDateToArray(max)
})
