How to change the material-ui-pickers time-picker timezone?

Question

Time-picker is showing local timezone, how to change that to desired timezone?

Answer 1

As mentioned in other answers, the Material-UI pickers use a third-party date/time library, which you need to add and configure.

So, you'll need to yarn/npm add these:

yarn add moment
yarn add moment-timezones
yarn add @date-io/[email protected] moment

In your App.js add this:

import moment from 'moment'

let launchMoment = require('moment')
require('moment-timezone')
moment.tz.setDefault('America/Los_Angeles')

You can change the setDefault to your desired timezone:

In the component that you're using the picker, you'll need to import these:

import { MuiPickersUtilsProvider, KeyboardDatePicker } from '@material-ui/pickers'
import MomentUtils from '@date-io/moment'

Your picker will look something like this:

<MuiPickersUtilsProvider utils={MomentUtils}>
          <KeyboardDatePicker
            disableToolbar
            variant="inline"
            format="ddd MMM Do"
            margin="normal"
            id="date-picker-inline"
            value={date}
  
            onChange={handleDateChange}
            KeyboardButtonProps={{
              'aria-label': 'change date'
            }}
           
          />
</MuiPickersUtilsProvider>

Note: the Pickers support other date/time libraries, but some don't have local timezone configurability, such as date-fns
