I'm trying to set the timezone for a date in moment.js without changing the time value
I get a date in utc:
date.toString() //Sun Sep 27 2015 00:00:00 GMT+0000
and I need to set the time zone without changing the time.
Sun Sep 27 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0500
if I use date.utcOffset(moment().utcOffset()) it adds the offset:
date.toString() //Sat Sep 26 2015 19:00:00 GMT-0500
I could do
date = moment(date.format("YYYYMMDDHHmmssSSSS"), "YYYYMMDDHHmmssSSSS")
but that seems like an inefficient way to do it.
Is there any method that will just change the timezone without changing the time?

To change the default time zone, use moment. tz. setDefault with a valid time zone.
moment().zone is deprecated, use moment().utcOffset instead.
The JavaScript getTimezoneOffset() method is used to find the timezone offset. It returns the timezone difference in minutes, between the UTC and the current local time. If the returned value is positive, local timezone is behind the UTC and if it is negative, the local timezone if ahead of UTC.
What is the appropriate way to get the current time on the machine? var CurrentDate = moment(). format();
At the time of writing this (Moment 2.22), you could go from local to UTC with someLocalMomentVariable.utc(true) then back from UTC to local with someUtcMomentVariable.local(true).

If you are using moment.js use utcOffset with true as second parameter eg: date2 = moment(date1).utcOffset('+0400', true)
Of If you are using moment-timezone, you can use tz function on moment object with second parameter as true eg: date1 = moment(date1).tz('Asia/Kolkata', true)
