I would suggest to use momentjs: https://momentjs.com Reference: 1. moment library: https://momentjs.com/ 2. time and date specific functions: https://timestamp.online/article/how-to-convert-timestamp-to-datetime-in-javascript

No sophisticated date/time formatting routines exist in plain JavaScript. Better to use external library. Using moment.js with the moment-timezone add-on makes this task simple. // construct a moment object with UTC-based input var m = moment.utc( '2015-01-01 00:00:00' ); // convert using the TZDB identifier for US Central time m.tz( 'America/Chicago' ); // format output however you desire var s = m.format( "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss" );

Central Standard Time (CS) is 6 hours behind the UTC universal time. Hence, to get the time in CST, you can adjust the date's UTC time by offset 6, then just read the UTC values. function getCST(date) { const months = [ 'January' , 'February' , 'March' , 'April' , 'May' , 'June' , 'July' , 'August' , 'September' , 'October' , 'November' , 'December' ]; const d = new Date(+date); // CST is UTC -0600 so subtract 6 hours and use UTC values d.setUTCHours(d.getUTCHours() - 6); return months[d.getUTCMonth()] + ' ' + d.getUTCDate() + ', ' + d.getUTCFullYear() + ' ' + ((d.getUTCHours()%12) || 12) + ':' + ( '0' + d.getUTCMinutes()).slice(-2) + ' ' + (d.getUTCHours() 'AM' : 'PM' ); } getCST(Date.now());
