Handle daylight saving time (DST) and standard time (STD) disparities #124
Description
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem or unsupported use case? Please describe.
The API lacks support for date ranges spanning DST to STD transitions due to new query parameter validation.
The start and end dates of a range must have the same UTC offset.
Example:
'Europe/Paris' is UTC+02:00 in STD and UTC+01:00 in DST.
When querying a range from 15th of October to the 30th of October, the API will respond a 422 unprocessable entity.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want to pass a date range that shares a timezone, not just a UTC offset.
I've added an extra step in the frontend to ensure that both the start and end dates have the same UTC offset.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Add a timezone parameter when querying the API?
