Suggestion: format fixture.date to local time about football-cli HOT 4 CLOSED

Looked into it even more ;)

You are absolutely correct and moment() does indeed try to set the user's local time.

My own timezone settings were not configured correctly. I'm now seeing results as expected:

me@mine:~ $ football scores
Denmark 0 vs. 0 France Yesterday at 7:00 AM
Australia 0 vs. 2 Peru Yesterday at 7:00 AM
Nigeria 1 vs. 2 Argentina Yesterday at 11:00 AM
Iceland 1 vs. 2 Croatia Yesterday at 11:00 AM
Mexico 0 vs. 3 Sweden Today at 7:00 AM
Korea Republic 2 vs. 0 Germany Today at 7:00 AM

Nice looking Pacific times!

Hi @danoscarmike

As far as I can tell, football fixtures makes use of moment.calendar() which converts date and time to text based on your local time.

Maybe I didn't quite get the issue. If you could add an example for it, it would be great. 😄

Looking into this a bit more, according to the API's docs it returns fixture.date formatted as UTC (based on the ISO format with 'Z' and no offset).

I think the default referenceTime argument to moment.calendar() is also UTC (that is, Unix time).

Current output to date on my machine: Wed Jun 27 06:16:48 UTC 2018
Local time for me (US PST): Tue Jun 26 23:16:48

So when I run football fixtures -d 2 -l WC I get the following output:

World Cup Saudi Arabia 2 vs. 1 Egypt Last Monday at 2:00 PM
World Cup Uruguay 3 vs. 0 Russia Last Monday at 2:00 PM
World Cup Iran 1 vs. 1 Portugal Last Monday at 6:00 PM
World Cup Spain 2 vs. 2 Morocco Last Monday at 6:00 PM
World Cup Denmark 0 vs. 0 France Yesterday at 2:00 PM
World Cup Australia 0 vs. 2 Peru Yesterday at 2:00 PM
World Cup Nigeria 1 vs. 2 Argentina Yesterday at 6:00 PM
World Cup Iceland 1 vs. 2 Croatia Yesterday at 6:00 PM

What I'd like to see is, taking the Iceland v Croatia game as an example:

World Cup Iceland 1 vs. 2 Croatia Today at 11:00 AM

Thanks @manrajgrover! Really enjoying using the tool.
