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.
