Temporal.ZonedDateTime.prototype.until()

Syntax

until(other)
until(other, options)

Parameters

other

A string, an object, or a Temporal.ZonedDateTime instance representing a date-time to subtract this date-time from. It is converted to a Temporal.ZonedDateTime object using the same algorithm as Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from(). It must have the same calendar as this.

options Optional

The same options as since().

Return value

A new Temporal.Duration object representing the duration from this date-time until other. The duration is positive if other is after this date-time, and negative if before.

Exceptions

RangeError

Thrown in one of the following cases:

• other has a different calendar than this.
• Any of the options is invalid.
• other has a different time zone than this, and largestUnit is "days" or above.

Examples

Using until()

const flight = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from(
  "2024-12-21T13:31:00-05:00[America/New_York]",
);
const now = Temporal.Now.zonedDateTimeISO("America/New_York").round("second");
if (Temporal.ZonedDateTime.compare(flight, now) < 0) {
  console.error(
    "The flight is already in the past. The result may not make sense.",
  );
}
const duration = now.until(flight, { largestUnit: "days" });
console.log(`The flight is in ${duration.toLocaleString("en-US")}`);
