Date Slice

Figure out which time slice a date lands in.

Synopsis

var dateSlice = require('date-slice')

This example will figure out the start of any 15s slice:

var quarterMinute = 15 * 1000
var nearest15s = dateSlice.now(quarterMinute)

console.log(nearest15s.toISOString())
// => 2015-03-30T08:36:15.000Z

This example will give you the time to the start of the hour:

var hour = 60 * 60 * 1000
var date = new Date('2015-01-03T22:57:45.123Z')

var nearestHour = dateSlice.from(date, hour)

console.log(nearestHour.toISOString())
// => 2015-01-03T22:00:00.000Z
