README.md

World Clock

Description

A simple widget that's capable of displaying time for multiple locations around the world. In our company(neo), we use it to display time in different offices.

Installation

1. Download moment.js 2.5.1 from MomentJS,

2. Download moment-timezone.js 0.0.3 from Moment Timezone.

3. Build the timezone data for locations you are interested in: http://momentjs.com/timezone/data/ and save the data file as moment-timezone-data.js. Note that for the default timezone configuration(shown below in world_clock.cofee) to work, you will need to include timezone data of Asia, America and Europe when building moment-timezone-data.js.

4. Put all the downloaded files in your /assets/javascripts directory.

5. Include them in application.coffee in the following order:

#= require moment.min
#= require moment-timezone.min
#= require moment-timezone-data

6. The files world_clock.coffee, world_clock.html and world_clock.scss go in the /widget/world_clock directory.

7. Last but not least, add the widget html to your dashboard:

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="4" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-view="WorldClock" class="widget widget-world-clock"></div>
</li>
