Navigating Time Zone Challenges, new frontend continued - Episode 156
2In this video, I dive into the complexities of managing time zones within our streaming admin and dashboard frontend project. The focus is on refining the handling of date and time calculations to ensure events are correctly scheduled and displayed regardless of differing time zones.
We explore various options available through the date object, including conversions to ISO time and local formats. Along the way, I discuss the trials and errors encountered while trying to set and convert times using JavaScript libraries. Through hands-on experimentation, challenges like incorrectly generated events due to time zone offsets are tackled.
The session includes an examination of how to build and manipulate date and time objects relevant to multiple time zones. We look at the ways to format and adjust time zones for events and how this affects day-to-day scheduling.
On top of addressing time zones, this video also covers implementing unit tests to ensure code correctness. Topics such as modifying tests to reflect accurate logic, handling recurring events, and the intricacies of verifying event occurrences on the correct dates are covered. Additionally, I share insights on utilizing TypeScript to pinpoint and resolve date handling issues effectively.
As always, I appreciate the engagement and feedback from the community. For more coding content, consider following me on Twitch, where I regularly share my coding adventures and challenges.
