Daylight savings in DataWeave 2.0 dates

Question

is there a way to handle automatically daylight savings? I’m using the following transformation

%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
{'date': now() >> "EST"}

but the output is

{
  "date": "2019-08-08T06:45:16.663-05:00"
}

The timezone is -05:00, but taking daylight saving into account I want it to be -04:00

Answer 1

The way to do this is to use relative (name based) timezones.

now() >> "America/New_York"
