What is the current behavior?
Issue URL: resolves #25112
The
getToday
function always assumes timezones contain hour offsets. However, there are some timezones that includes minute offsets of either 30 or 45 minutes: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-interesting.htmlIonic was not account for these minutes, so the
getToday
value was always off by either 30 or 45 minutes for users in the relevant timezones.What is the new behavior?
The date object is smart enough to increment the hour one more time if we give it a value > 60. For example, doing
date.setMinutes(70)
will increment the hour by 1 and set the minutes to 10.Does this introduce a breaking change?
Other information
I am investigating ways we can test this. Currently it does not look like Jest lets us mock the timezone between tests. I manually verified in multiple 30/45 minute timezones and the fix does appear to work.
