export default App;

useClock(<format: String>, <period: Number>)

onTimezone(<timezone: String>)

Dependency

This package has moment-timezone as a dependency, which increases the bundle size significantly. Beware if it's a concern!

In the future, we may switch to a more lightweight dependency such as date-fns. Feel free to contribute!
