timezone.location() function

timezone.location() returns a location record based on a location or timezone name.

Function type signature
(name: string) => {zone: string, offset: duration}

For more information, see Function type signatures.

Parameters

name

(Required) Location name (as defined by your operating system timezone database).

Examples

Return a timezone-based location record

import "timezone"

timezone.location(name: "America/Los_Angeles")// Returns {offset: 0ns, zone: "America/Los_Angeles"}

Set the location option using a timezone-based location

import "timezone"

option location = timezone.location(name: "America/Los_Angeles")

The location option only affects boundaries used for windowing, specifically around time shifts like daylight savings. It does not change timestamps in the _time column, which are always UTC.
