Trying to implement momentjs to display localtime

Question

Before asking this question I have searched all stackoverflow and read the docs but I can't just understand how to convert one UTC date to local time of an user and display it in his format. I keep trying different methods but I keep getting the same time again and again. so my django returns obj.created_on in UTC as - 2013-12-26T13:52:24 - no timezone Info here but I know its UTC Now I want momentjs to auto detect the user's timezone and convert it in that timezone. Can I have proper syntax for the same? I was trying this as well: ``` new_date = moment(obj.created_on).utc().local().format() ```

Accepted Answer

Moment has two different `utc` functions:

One is on a moment instance, used to switch the mode to UTC.

```
moment(input).utc()
```

The other is on the moment prototype, used to interpret the input as already in UTC.

```
moment.utc(input)
```

So, you want this syntax:

```
moment.utc(obj.created_on).local().format()
```
