Time Zone Offset Calculations

Let's suppose the server gives the date in this format:

 var date = '2012-08-08T15:04:33+0200';

As you can see the previous date has a Timezone offset of two hours.

Let's suppose I need to display the same date in different places having different timezone.

What is the proper way to display the date in different clients having the different time zone using moment.js

I did try the following but I am not sure because I cannot test it.

  moment(date, "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss").fromNow();

According the documentation it should be enough just passing the following parameter ´Z´ or ZZ according your date format.

So in your case it should be: 

var date = '2012-08-08T15:04:33+0200';
moment(date, "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ").fromNow();
