[Vuejs]-Convert date from UTC to EST (Javascript, HTML)

If you have a Date object which is in UTC, you can use your code to display it in a locale and timezone much as you did in your code.

Live demo:

var utcTime = new Date("2020-10-16T18:00:00Z");
console.log('UTC Time: ' + utcTime.toISOString());
var usaTime = utcTime.toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone: "America/New_York"});
console.log('USA time: '+ usaTime)

So

Do I need to pass the value of created_at into a javascript function that will convert the date?

Yes, assuming your result._source.created_at value is formatted as a UTC date, you would pass it in and call toLocaleString to display it appropriately.

Perhaps something like:

<div class="panel-heading">
      <p>createdAt:{{ new Date(result._source.created_at).toLocateString("en-US", {timeZone: "America/New_York") }}</p>
 </div>
