mergeIntervalsUtc

mergeIntervalsUtc(intervals: { start: string; end: string; }[]): { start: string; end: string; }[]
import { mergeIntervalsUtc } from "@northguild/gmt/utc/interval";

Collapse a list of UTC intervals into the minimum set of non-overlapping intervals.

  • List-form generalization of intervalUnionUtc, which is pairwise only.
  • Intervals are merged when they overlap or share an instant exactly (adjacent intervals ARE merged).
  • Order of the input list does not matter; the result is sorted by start.
  • Returns [] for an empty list.
  • Returns [] when intervals is not an array, when any element is not a { start, end } record of valid ISO UTC datetime strings, or when any element has start > end or a leap-second string.
Parameter Type Description
intervals { start: string; end: string; }[] array of { start, end } records

the minimum set of non-overlapping { start, end } records, sorted by start, or [] on invalid input
