How to get list of all timezones in javascript

Question

I recently created an array containing all timezones and found that a couple of official timezones were missing from Chromium 71.0.3578.98.

You can see that array in this comment of the bug I reported. For convenience, I’ve included the array below:

aryIannaTimeZones.forEach((timeZone) =>
{
  let strTime = date.toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone: `${timeZone}`});
  console.log(timeZone, strTime);
});

If you’re like me, in wondering why there are so many timezones, check out this question.

UPDATE 2022-06-08:

If you only need a full list of time zones that your environment supports, you can now acquire that array using Intl.supportedValuesOf(), like this:

let ary = Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone');

Whether that list is complete or not, will depend on your environment.

In the snippet below, I replace that array (from the first snippet) with Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone'):

var aryIannaTimeZones = Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone');

let date = new Date;
aryIannaTimeZones.forEach((timeZone) =>
{
  let strTime = date.toLocaleString("en-US",{timeZone: `${timeZone}`});
  console.log(timeZone, strTime);
});

Here’s a comparison of the custom array versus Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone'):

Running the comparison above produces different results in each environment/browser I try. The latest Firefox reveals that numerous time zones have been added to the spec since I originally created that static list. However, other environments (I try) are still missing official time zones that were indeed included in that old list.

As of Jul 5th 2022, despite what’s reflected on on caniuse or MDN, I see Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone') working in the latest:

Chromium
Firefox
Node (v.18.4.0)

If Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone') isn’t working in the snippets above, for a browser you’re targeting, feel free to include a URL to that issue’s bug-tracker in the comments below.
