# TimeConversion - Timezone Converter for Salesforce Flow

This Salesforce project contains an Invocable Apex action that converts UTC DateTime values to any timezone with user-selectable format. It automatically handles DST transitions.

## Components

### Apex Classes
- **TimezoneConverter** - Main invocable Apex class for timezone conversion
- **TimezoneConverterTest** - Comprehensive test class with 100% code coverage

### Lightning Web Components
- **timezoneConverterCpe** - Custom Property Editor (CPE) for Flow Builder configuration
- **fsc_flowCombobox** - Required dependency component for the CPE

## Features
- Converts UTC DateTime to any timezone
- Automatic DST handling
- User-selectable date/time formats
- Custom timezone and format support
- 100% test coverage
- Custom Property Editor for Flow Builder

## Author
Andy Haas - Milestone Consulting

## Date
