how to set the timezone for node.js app

[Crystal4545]

Hi team,
When I debug a node.js app, I'd like the timestamp of the log to be set to a certain timezone. How can I realize that? Can anyone here shed some light on how to set the timezone for node.js app?

If you're deploying on UNIX machines, setting the TZ environment variable before starting your application should do it.

Yes, the timezone would be set/detected from the underlying OS. On Windows it would be affected by the control panel /configuration settings for date and time.

@srl295 @bnoordhuis Thank you for your suggestions.
I was once wondering whether there is any runtime environment variables that we can configure to realize that. If no such thing, then okay we can just modify the OS settings. Again. thanks!
