Details

If tzone is missing (default), time zone attribute of input object is used for conversion. If the input object does not have time zone attribute (e.g. jdate), and no value is supplied for tzone, local time zone is assumed for conversion.

Examples

## The time will be set to midnight when converting from `jdate` or `Date`
as_jdatetime(jdate_now())
as_jdatetime(Sys.Date())
## We can change time zone of a `jdatetime` to a new time zone
as_jdatetime(jdatetime_now(tzone = "Iran"), tzone = "Asia/Tokyo")
