## Synopsis

```js
const { listTimeZones } = require('@pmjonesg/timezone-support')
const { parseFromTimeZone, formatToTimeZone } = require('date-fns-timezone')

// List canonical time zone names: [ 'Africa/Abidjan', ... ]
const timeZones = listTimeZones()

// Set the date to "2018-09-01T16:01:36.386Z"
const date = parseFromTimeZone('2018-09-01 18:01:36.386', { timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin' })

// Set the output to "1.9.2018 18:01:36.386 GMT+02:00 (CEST)"
const date = new Date('2018-09-01Z16:01:36.386Z')
const format = 'D.M.YYYY HH:mm:ss.SSS [GMT]Z (z)'
const output = formatToTimeZone(date, format, { timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin' })
```

## Installation and Getting Started

This module can be installed in your project using [NPM] or [Yarn]. Make sure, that you use [Node.js] version 6 or newer.

```sh
$ npm i date-fns-timezone --save
```

```sh
$ yarn add date-fns-timezone
```

Functions are exposed as named exports from the package modules, for example:

```js
const { parseFromTimeZone, formatToTimeZone } = require('date-fns-timezone')
```

You can read more about the [module loading](./docs/API.md#loading) in other environments, like with ES6 or in web browsers. [Usage scenarios](./docs/usage.md#usage-scenarios) demonstrate applications of this library in typical real-world scenarios. The [API reference](./docs/API.md#api-reference) lists all functions with a description of their functionality.

## Contributing
