moment-period

Handling periods in moment.js

Getting Started

moment-period can be included into your app in different ways:

Node.js

moment-period can be installed with npm and required into a script:

npm install --save moment-period

var moment = require('moment');
require('moment-period');

Browser

Just include the momentjs script and somewhere after that the moment-period script:

<script src="moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="moment-period.min.js"></script>

Browser with Require.js

define(["moment", "moment-period"], function (moment) {
    // you probably won´t need a reference to moment-period istself, so include it last
});

Bower

bower install --save moment-period

Register periods

New periods can be registered with an object or an array of objects

moment.period.add({
    name: '30min',
    count: 30,          // optional (default: 1)
    unit: 'minutes',
    format: 'LT'        // optional
});

moment.period.add([
    {
        name: '1h',     // 1 hour
        unit: 'hour'
    },
    {
        name: '1d',     // 1 day
        unit: 'day'
    }]).add({
        name: 'fy',     // fiscal year
        unit: 'year',
        format: function() {    // yes, you can define an own format-function
            return this.year() + '/' + (this.year() + 1);
        },
        align: function() {     // function to set the current moment to the start of the period
            var year = this.year(),
                month = this.month();

            return this.year(month < 5 ? year - 1 : year)).month(5).startOf('month');
        }
    });

Setting a default period

moment.period.setDefault('30min');

Converting a moment to a period

var period = moment.utc("2013-02-08 09:38:26").period('30min');

period.format();    // "2013-02-08T09:38:26Z"

Working with periods

Get the current period

period.period(); // "30min"

Set to start of period

period.clone().period(true).format(); // "2013-02-08T09:30:00Z"

period.clone().startOf('period').format(); // "2013-02-08T09:30:00Z"

Set to end of period

period.clone().period(false).format(); // "2013-02-08T09:59:59Z"

period.clone().endOf('period').format(); // "2013-02-08T09:59:59Z"

Get beginn and end of period

var fromTo = period.fromTo();

// same as
var fromTo = {
    from: period.clone().startOf('p'),
    to: period.clone().endOf('p')
};

Adding and subtracting periods

moment().add(3, '30min');   // current moment plus 3 x 30min
period.add(1, 'p'); // next period
period.subtract(1, 'p'); // previous period

Comparing periods

All the comparing functions of moment.js also work with periods if the last parameter is a valid period-name, "p", "period" oder "periods".

• isAfter(moment, period)
• isBefore(moment, period)
• isSame(moment, period)
• isSameOrBefore(moment, period)
• isSameOrAfter(moment, period)
• isBetween(momentA, momentB, period)
• isBetween(momentA, momentB, period, inclusivity)

Removing a period

period.period(null).period(); // undefined or default-period

Removing the default period

moment.period.setDefault(null);
