absDuration

Signature

absDuration(value: string): string

Return the absolute value of an ISO 8601 duration string.

• Uses Temporal.Duration.from and .abs, then .toString() to re-emit.
• Like negateDuration, this only touches signs, so it never needs relativeTo and works on calendar-unit durations.
• An already-positive duration is returned re-emitted, not rejected — but re-emitted means canonicalized, so “P0D” comes back as “PT0S”.
• Returns "" when value is not a valid ISO 8601 duration string.
