Hugo currently has no provision for converting time values from one location to another. If it’s 4:20 PM in Vancouver, Hugo has no idea what time it is in Kiev.
The time.AsTime TIMEZONE parameter is only useful for dates without offsets. The TIMEZONE parameter qualifies dates without offsets, adding an offset and time zone abbreviation.
If the date already has an offset, the TIMEZONE parameter is ignored.
Assuming you have not set a fallback timeZone in your site configuration…
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
{{ time.AsTime "2022-12-11T22:36:09" }} |
2022-12-11 22:36:09 +0000 UTC |
{{ time.AsTime "2022-12-11T22:36:09" "Europe/Kyiv" }} |
2022-12-11 22:36:09 +0200 EET |
{{ time.AsTime "2022-12-11T22:36:09-08:00" "Europe/Kyiv" }} |
2022-12-11 22:36:09 -0800 PST |
{{ time.AsTime now "Europe/Kyiv" }} |
2022-12-11 22:50:03 -0800 PST |
Adding the TIMEZONE makes no difference for dates with offsets (including what the now function returns).
