intervalIntersectionTime

Signature

intervalIntersectionTime(aStart: string, aEnd: string, bStart: string, bEnd: string): { start: string; end: string; } | null

Return the overlapping span of two time intervals, or null when they do not overlap.

• Uses Temporal.PlainTime.compare for comparison.
• Half-open: an interval holds every t with start <= t < end. The intersection is [max(aStart, bStart), min(aEnd, bEnd)) when aStart < bEnd && bStart < aEnd (CORE-6’s intersectIntervals), otherwise null.
• Touching intervals (aEnd === bStart) share no clock time and return null.
• An empty interval (start === end) intersects only an interval it lies strictly inside, and then returns itself.
• Returns null if either interval is invalid (start > end).
• Returns null on invalid input (wrong type, malformed strings).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
aStart	string	ISO 8601 time string for the first interval start
aEnd	string	ISO 8601 time string for the first interval end
bStart	string	ISO 8601 time string for the second interval start
bEnd	string	ISO 8601 time string for the second interval end

Returns

{ start, end } with the overlapping span, or null on invalid input / no overlap

Members

Member	Type	Description
start	string	The clock time the interval begins at, as an ISO 8601 time string with no date, offset or time zone.
end	string	The first clock time after the interval, in the same format as start. It is exclusive: the interval holds everything from start up to but not including this value. It can equal start, which makes the interval empty.

Examples

import { intervalIntersectionTime } from "@northguild/gmt/plain/interval";

intervalIntersectionTime("09:00:00", "17:00:00", "12:00:00", "18:00:00") // { start: "12:00:00", end: "17:00:00" }
