const { parseFromTimeZone, formatToTimeZone } = require('date-fns-timezone')

// List canonical time zone names: [ 'Africa/Abidjan', ... ]
const timeZones = listTimeZones()

// Set the date to "2018-09-01T16:01:36.386Z"
const date = parseFromTimeZone('2018-09-01 18:01:36.386', { timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin' })

// Set the output to "1.9.2018 18:01:36.386 GMT+02:00 (CEST)"
const date = new Date('2018-09-01Z16:01:36.386Z')
const format = 'D.M.YYYY HH:mm:ss.SSS [GMT]Z (z)'
const output = formatToTimeZone(date, format, { timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin' })
