# Timezone selector for Angular JS
A simple AngularJS directive to create timezone select. It uses [chosen](http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) to create auto-complete timezone select. Timezone information comes from [moment](http://momentjs.com/timezone/). Countries timezone data comes from [TimezoneDB](http://timezonedb.com/download).
The user is able to choose their timezone by either typing the name of their country, or the name of the timezone directly.
The angular model that is bound to this directive will be set to the timezone name as used by [moment-timezone](http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/) i.e `Pacific/Auckland`.
[View Demo](http://mishguruorg.github.io/angular-timezone-selector/)
## Usage
Install using bower
```
bower install angular-timezone-selector
```
Make your Angular module depend on module `angular-timezone-selector`.
```javascript
angular.module('timezoneSelectExample', ['angular-timezone-selector']);
```
Then use directive `timezone-selector`.
```html
<timezone-selector ng-model="timezone">
```
## Options
Options can be included as attributes in the html element.
- **sort-by** ["offset"] - This lets the list be sorted by UTC offset instead of alphabetical order.
- **display-utc** ["true"] - This show UTC offsets in the timezone names
- **show-local** ["true"] - This detects local timezone's and includes at the top. If jsTimezoneDetect is installed if will include the detected timezone otherwise it fallback on moment js and list all timezones with the same browsers UTC offset.
- **primary-choices** ["space seperated timezone names"] - This lets you put important timezone's at the top of the list or include extra aliases. Use names from momentjs-timezone, which you can list with the command: `moment.tz.names;`.
An example of using the options is below:
```html
<timezone-selector
ng-model="timezone"
display-utc="true"
sort-by="offset"
show-local="true"
primary-choices="UTC GB WET GMT Asia/Macau"
></timezone-selector>
```
