@MichaelZedeler The server returns a Unix timestamp, and Unix timestamps are universal. A Unix timestamp of 1430044657 would be the same across the entire world, so it doesn't matter what time zone either party is in. The timezone offset, offset, of the client is applied to the fetched Unix timestamp resulting in a correctly localized date.

| Apr 25, 2015 at 17:19 | comment | added | Michael Zedeler | Does this take into account that the browser and server may be in different time zones? If it doesn't, maybe it isn't very useful (I'm still a little unsure about the use case for this module). | |

@Vignesh Because JavaScript's Date object is only as reliable as the client system date, which you have no control of. So if their system date is inaccurate, so will the time returned by Date be. If you need a solution that displays the "real" time that's not affected by how the client system date is set, you can get the date from a (reliable) server. For instance, you might have a service that displays different live dates from all over the world. But if you rely on the client system date and it's not set correctly, every date shown by your service will be incorrect as well.

| Apr 22, 2015 at 14:25 | comment | added | Vignesh | The code is pretty self explanatory, But I haven't came across a situation where I needed to fetch time from the server (beginner). So I am curious about a real use case. | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 14:20 | comment | added | Kid Diamond | @Vignesh Isn't it somewhat self-explanatory? | |
| Apr 22, 2015 at 14:08 | comment | added | Vignesh | I don't understand about the practical use of this code, can you explain a typical use case? | |
