convert hawaii time to gmt in javascript

To convert Hawaii Time to GMT in JavaScript, you can use the built-in getTimezoneOffset() method of the Date object, along with some mathematical calculations.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates the conversion:

index.tsx
// Create a Date object with the current time in Hawaii
const hawaiiTime = new Date();

// Get the time zone offset in minutes
const timezoneOffset = hawaiiTime.getTimezoneOffset();

// Convert offset to milliseconds
const offsetInMilliseconds = timezoneOffset * 60 * 1000;

// Get the current GMT time
const gmtTime = new Date(hawaiiTime.getTime() + offsetInMilliseconds);

// Format the GMT time to a string
const gmtTimeString = gmtTime.toUTCString();

// Log the results
console.log(`Hawaii Time: ${hawaiiTime.toLocaleString()}`);
console.log(`GMT Time: ${gmtTimeString}`);

This code first creates a Date object with the current time in Hawaii, then gets the time zone offset using the getTimezoneOffset() method. It then converts the offset to milliseconds and adds it to the Hawaii Time to get the current GMT time. Finally, it formats the GMT time as a string using the toUTCString() method and logs the results to the console.

Note that this conversion assumes that the system time zone is correctly set to Hawaii Standard Time (HST). If the system time zone is incorrect, the conversion will not be accurate.
