Time Zone Jovo Plugin

Overview

This plugin for the Jovo Framework allows you to easily add cross-platform time zone support including an overall default time zone if there is not a country-code-specific default.

Support

This plugin supports Jovo v3.

For the plugin that supports Jovo v4 use @jovo-community/jovo-community-plugin-timezone

Platforms

The following platforms are supported:

• Amazon Alexa
• Google Assistant
• Samsung Bixby

In the case of Amazon Alexa, after the first API call, the time zone is cached in Session Data at:

this.jovo.$session.$data.$timeZone

Don't access or change this value, instead use the method on the plugin:

NOTE: Support for Google Assistant is through default time zone only as the current User Experience (UX) of prompting for location and calling APIs to convert geo-location into a time zone needs improvement.

Install

Install the plugin into your Jovo project:

npm install jovo-community-plugin-timezone --save
