Moment-timezone: Moment Timezone has no data for PST

[edu2004eu]

I'm getting: Moment Timezone has no data for PST. See http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/data-loading/. when running the following code in Node.JS:

var departure = moment.tz('2015-09-16 16:05', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm', 'PST');

However this code seems to work:

var arrival = moment.tz('2015-09-16 17:05', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm', 'EST');

So it appears that it doesn't like the PST timezone. (Also tried with PDT and EDT and it wouldn't work with either)

We rely on the tzdb for source data.

• EST exists as a zone entry for backwards compatibility reasons in the tzdb, but it is fixed to EST and does not switch to EDT for daylight saving time.
• PST does not exist as a zone entry in the tzdb.
• In general, abbreviations do not make good identifiers. There are too many ambiguities, such as CST having 5 different meanings.
• If you want a time zone that switches properly between standard and daylight times, use a location-based identifier. For Pacific time, use "America/Los_Angeles". For Eastern time, use "America/New_York"
• If you actually want a fixed offset zone, then just use the utcOffset function in moment. You don't need moment-timezone.

I'm facing some issue in time xone

var dec = moment("2016-12-01T12:00:00Z");
dec.tz('America/Los_Angeles').format('ha z'); // 4am PST
Result : "5am PDT"

But it should return in PST format ...

I suspect , the issue is in data loading

moment.tz.add('America/Los_Angeles|PST PDT|80 70|0101|1Lzm0 1zb0 Op0');

If i switch the location of PST and PDT always returns PST not in PDT .

@satkamar - This doesn't belong on this thread. Commenting on old, closed, unrelated issues is a sure way to get ignored. I'll be happy to answer your question if you create a new issue. Thanks.

Is moment timezone reflects for PST and PDT?

[satkamar]

@webmaster1990 The timezone is not there by default, adding explicitely. So you have to load the data

like,

moment.tz.add("America/Los_Angeles|PST PDT|80 70|01010101010101010101010|1BQW0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Rd0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0 Op0 1zb0|15e6");

Just use the moment-timezone "with data" files available on the home page or through your favorite CDN.
