UTC to local time

[Hesesses]

My app gets utc datetime value from backend ('2015-03-03 11:18:33' for example)

How to convert this to user's local time?

I have the same issue, I can't find a way to call .local() after utc().
Idea, change the preprocess config to be an array.
preprocess = ['utc', 'local']

I did a quick test, and this is working:

            this.preprocessors = {
                utc: moment.utc,
                local: function(aMoment) {
                    if (!moment.isMoment(aMoment)) {
                        $log.warn('angular-moment: Ignoring unsupported value for local preprocess: ' + aMoment);
                        return aMoment;
                    }

                    return aMoment.local();
                },
                unix: moment.unix
            };

            this.preprocessDate = function (value, preprocess, format) {
                if (angular.isUndefined(preprocess)) {
                    preprocess = angularMomentConfig.preprocess;
                }

                if (preprocess instanceof Array) {
                    var previousResult = value;
                    var $this = this;

                    preprocess.forEach(function(pre) {
                        previousResult = $this.preprocessDate(previousResult, pre, format);
                    });

                    return previousResult;
                }

                if (this.preprocessors[preprocess]) {
                    return this.preprocessors[preprocess](value, format);
                }
                if (preprocess) {
                    $log.warn('angular-moment: Ignoring unsupported value for preprocess: ' + preprocess);
                }
                if (!isNaN(parseFloat(value)) && isFinite(value)) {
                    // Milliseconds since the epoch
                    return moment(parseInt(value, 10));
                }
                // else just returns the value as-is.
                return moment(value, format);
            };

What is "this" in this context for your snippet?

Sorry for the delay, just got an email this morning.

this is the amMoment service.
If you want to try it, just replace those 2 methods in the amMoment service by the one in the snippet.

this worked great, thanks!

This has worked for me:

(function() {
  'use strict'

  angular
    .module('myApp')
    .run(function (moment, amMoment) {
      moment.tz.setDefault("utc");  // make sure to include moment-timezone.js
      amMoment.changeTimezone('Australia/Melbourne');
    });
})();

I also have this issue. In my case the timestamp is saved as UTC on the server, while the users should view the date in their own local time without explicitly declaring it. Modifying the service is a no-go as future bower updates will destroy the edits.

We will add a amLocal filter to 1.0.0
