Time zone properties

Some methods return detailed time zone related information. For example, see Person settings

PROPERTIES

The time zone properties are a JSON object with these properties:

id	A unique ID of the time zone. When updating time zones you would use this identifier. Example: `Romance Standard Time`	string
name	A print name of the time zone inclusive a time zone offset. Note that the offset is for regular time but not daylight saving time. Example: `(UTC+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris` You should not show this name to users. It is confusing since invalid during daylight saving time.	string
currentName	The print name of the time zone and adjusted to whether we are in daylight saving time or not. Example: `Romance Daylight Time` You should show this name to users, together with the current offset.	string
currentOffset	The today’s time zone offset with hours, minutes and seconds. Example: `02:00:00` The offset changes when currently in daylight saving time.	string
currentDate	Today’s date and time as perceived from the UTC time zone. So it basically tells someone living in UTC what the time is of the user. This is simply the current UTC time plus the time zone offset.	datetime
supportsDaylightSaving	If true then the selected time zone has a daylight saving period.	bool
