### Installation
|
|
Run `npm i generate-timezone-json` to install in your current node project

|
or install globally with `npm i -g generate-timezone-json`
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Run: `npx generate-timezone-json` to generate timezones.json from official IANA Database,
|
|
- this will generate a file named "timezones.json" with data coming from the official IANA database
|
|
1. Run: `npx generate-timezone-json <filename>` to generate timezones.json from a TAB file,
|
|
- for example, using a file named "zone.tab": `generate-timezone-json zone.tab`
|
|
|
|
If installed globally, the `npx` is optional.
|
|
|
|
*Important Note:* the structure of the generated JSON file will be different depending on the source (i.e, zone.tab or the IANA timezones database)
|
