Is it possible to change the JavaScript client side clock?

Question

My problem:

The web application that I am building is very dependant on that the client and server side clocks are in pretty good sync.

To calculate the offset between the client and server time clock is not a problem, it has very elaborate answers here.

My question is:

Is it possible to alter the default clock from JavaScript which Date etc is based on? Or is my best shot to build an extension of the Date class or similar?

Answer 1

moment.js has a very powerful date api on top of javascript's Date object.

You could look for a plugin (or quite easily build your own) that takes into account some kind of custom 'timezone'. Thus shifting your date-related calculations to any value needed.
