timezone.fixed() function
timezone.fixed() returns a location record with a fixed offset.
Function type signature
(offset: A) => {zone: string, offset: A}
For more information, see Function type signatures.
Parameters
offset
(Required) Fixed duration for the location offset. This duration is the offset from UTC.
Examples
Return a fixed location record
import "timezone"
timezone.fixed(offset: -8h)// Returns {offset: -8h, zone: "UTC"}
Set the location option using a fixed location
import "timezone"
// This results in midnight at 00:00:00-08:00 on any day.
option location = timezone.fixed(offset: -8h)
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.
