tzwhere's Introduction

tzwhere Build Status

Determine timezone from lat/long in NodeJS

Installation

Installing tzwhere

npm install tzwhere

Example Usage

var tzwhere = require('tzwhere')
tzwhere.init();

var whiteHouse = {'lat': 38.897663, 'lng': -77.036562};

// Determine the timezone of the White House
console.log(tzwhere.tzNameAt(whiteHouse['lat'], whiteHouse['lng']));

// Determine the current offset from UTC, in milliseconds, of the White House's timezone
console.log(tzwhere.tzOffsetAt(whiteHouse['lat'], whiteHouse['lng']));

yields:

America/New_York
-14400000

or

America/New_York
-18000000

depending on the current state of daylight savings time in the America/New_York timezone. You can also do it asynchronously.

...
tzwhere.tzNameAt(whiteHouse['lat'], whiteHouse['lng'], function (error, result) {
	if (error) {
		console.log(error);
	} else {
		console.log(result);
	}
}
...

You can also pass alternative GeoJSON shape files:

var tzwhere = require('tzwhere')
tzwhere.init('path/to/alternative/tz/file');

...

Check the tests for more comprehensive usage, including determining the timezone offsets at arbitrary dates (very useful for scheduling future events expressed in local time).
