Hi,
I am using this function for calculating days between startDate and endDate.Further if end date is not available means it takes now date.
In a hosted server its taking server time as now for endDate.But in my scenario i need my local system time as now.Not a server time. In this any possible to take system time as now in hosted server.

function CalculateDays(startDate, endDate) {
    if (startDate) {
        let start = new Date(startDate);
        let end = new Date();
        let days, hours, minutes;
        if (endDate) {
            end = new Date(endDate);
        }
        // get total seconds between the times
        let delta = Math.abs(start.getTime() - end.getTime()) / 1000;

        // calculate (and subtract) whole days
        days = Math.floor(delta / 86400);
        return days;
    }
}

Your helper function runs in nodejs. This means you can use tricks and libraries that work in node. I believe this information gives you a better idea of how to search for problems solutions.

You can, for example, use popular package momentjs, that provide helpers to get a date in a specific timezone.

Install moment-timezone

npm i moment-timezone --save

Use it in the helper

const moment = require('moment-timezone')
function now() {
    return moment.tz("Europe/London").format()
}
