Javascript to convert UTC to local time

Try:

var date = new Date('2012-11-29 17:00:34 UTC');
date.toString();

var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();

offset will be the interval in minutes from Local time to UTC. To get Local time from a UTC date, you would then subtract the minutes from your date.

utc_date.setMinutes(utc_date.getMinutes() - offset);

To format your date try the following function:

var d = new Date();
var fromatted = d.toLocaleFormat("%d.%m.%Y %H:%M (%a)");

But the downside of this is, that it's a non-standard function, which is not working in Chrome, but working in FF (afaik).

Here is another option that outputs mm/dd/yy:

const date = new Date('2012-11-29 17:00:34 UTC');
date.toLocaleString();
//output 11/29/2012
