# Intl.DateTimeFormat timezone polyfill
Surgically polyfills timezone support in `Intl.DateTimeFormat` API
[](https://travis-ci.org/formatjs/date-time-format-timezone) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/date-time-format-timezone)
Some [browsers do not support arbitrary time zone ](http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/esintl/) in Intl.DateTimeFormat API (becuase its optional as per [ECMA-402 standard](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-402/1.0/#sec-6.4)). This polyfill is only to bring this support. Polyfill contains historical timezone data, CLDR data & tiny code to polyfill this support.
## How to use?
1. Install via nodejs:
```
npm i date-time-format-timezone
```
And then import in your code:
```
require('date-time-format-timezone'); // polyfill is ready
```
2. In the browser
include everything:
```
```
or include individual files:
```
<script src="https://unpkg.com/date-time-format-timezone@latest/build/browserified/date-time-format-timezone-no-data-min.js">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/date-time-format-timezone@latest/build/browserified/data/locales/locale-en-US-POSIX.js">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/date-time-format-timezone@latest/build/browserified/data/metazone.js">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/date-time-format-timezone@latest/build/browserified/data/timezones/tzdata-america-los_angeles.js">
```
This polyfill can add this support.
```javascript
new Intl.DateTimeFormat('hi', {
timeZone: 'Asia/Calcutta',
timeZoneName:'long',
year: 'numeric',
month: 'numeric',
day: 'numeric',
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
}).format(new Date());
"११/१/२०१७, पू १:२६ भारतीय मानक समय"
new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', {
timeZone: 'America/Los_Angeles',
timeZoneName:'long',
year: 'numeric',
month: 'numeric',
day: 'numeric',
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
}).format(new Date());
"1/10/2017, 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time"
```
