Displaying UTC Timestamps in Local Time in React
To display datetimes in the user's local timezone while preserving backend UTC storage, you can use JavaScript's built-in timezone offset support:
const utcDate = "2025-05-27T20:03:00Z";
const localDisplay = new Date(utcDate).toLocaleString();
// → "5/27/2025, 10:03 PM" (depending on user's locale)This gives users a familiar and correctly adjusted view of time. For a consistent format, Intl.DateTimeFormat can be used.
