intervalSplitAtZoned

intervalSplitAtZoned(start: string, end: string, points: string[]): { start: string; end: string; }[]
import { intervalSplitAtZoned } from "@northguild/gmt/zoned/interval";

Split a zoned interval at arbitrary points, producing consecutive sub-intervals.

  • points need not be sorted — they are sorted internally (by instant) before splitting.
  • Comparison and boundary placement use the instant each point represents, so points may carry a different time zone than start/end.
  • Points outside [start, end] are dropped; they cannot introduce a boundary that isn’t inside the interval.
  • Points on the same instant as start or end are dropped too — they would only produce a zero-length sub-interval at the edge.
  • Duplicate points (same instant) collapse to a single boundary.
  • Returns [{ start, end }] (the whole interval, unsplit) when no valid in-range point remains.
  • Returns [] when points is not an array, when any element is not a valid ISO ZonedDateTime string, or on invalid input (unparseable start/end, start > end, leap-second strings).
  • Accepts GMT calendar-annotated zoned strings (as produced by convertZonedToCalendar) as well as bare ISO ones — E7 (issue #152) — but rejects a mismatched set: start, end and every element of points must name the same calendar system (E7’s D4-zoned), since the returned sub-intervals are values the caller reads back as datetimes and an array of differently-tagged records would be unreadable as a set. A mismatch returns [].
  • Output boundaries are re-derived in the resolved calendar via formatZonedInCalendar, never copied from an input string (E7’s D7-zoned).
Parameter Type Description
start string ISO 8601 zoned datetime string for the interval start
end string ISO 8601 zoned datetime string for the interval end
points string[] array of ISO 8601 zoned datetime strings to split at

array of { start, end } records, or [] on invalid input
