Browser Timezone and Locale

Published February 2019
   •    Updated this week

Plugin details

This element retrieves international date/time format and localization information from the browser. Most usefully, it reports browser Time Zone (in the format Bubble calls "Timezone ID", like "America/Los_Angeles").
This client-side element is designed to work with my forthcoming server-side action plugins, many of which involve date/time manipulation. These server-side actions run in the context of the Bubble server, which uses "Etc/UTC" Timezone. So it is useful to have a mechanism for retrieving a browser's Time Zone setting.

This element also reports a locale (like, "en-US") which can be useful with various APIs/libraries, or if your Bubble app has localization/internationalization features.

It returns the other common date/time format values (calendar, day, month, year, and numberingSystem preferences) reported by the browser.

For more info on what these values represent, see: https://rebrand.ly/browser-locale-info

The Timezone ID comes back empty for some customers in version 1.2.0 The old version 1.0.2 returns the Timezone ID for those customers
