API

This library provides three classes: DateTime, Duration, and Interval.

`DateTime` class

The DateTime class represents a millisecond timestamp.

Factory methods

Factory methods return a new DateTime instance.

DateTime.now(): DateTime: Returns a new DateTime representing the current UTC time
```
DateTime.now();
```

DateTime.from(dateTime: DateTimeLike): DateTime: Returns a new DateTime from a date time like object

// From milliseconds timestamp
DateTime.from(1_704_067_200_000);

// From strings
DateTime.from('2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'); // ISO
DateTime.from('2024-01-01'); // YYYY-MM-DD
DateTime.from('2024-001'); // YYYY-DDD

// From Date object
DateTime.from(new Date());

// From DateTime object
DateTime.from(DateTime.now());

// From calendar date components
DateTime.from({
  year: 2024,
  month: 1,
  dayOfMonth: 1,
  hour: 12,       // optional
  minute: 30,     // optional
  second: 15,     // optional
  millisecond: 0  // optional
});

// From ordinal date components
DateTime.from({
  year: 2024,
  dayOfYear: 1,
  hour: 12        // optional, etc.
});

DateTime.until(dateTime: DateTimeLike): Interval: Returns an Interval from the current time to a given date time

// Creates interval spanning one day
DateTime.now().until(DateTime.now().plus({ days: 1 })) // Interval object

Instance methods

Arithmetic

DateTime accepts both absolute (days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) and relative (months, years) durations.

plus(duration: DurationLike): DateTime: Returns a DateTime with the duration added

// Add absolute durations (days and smaller units)
DateTime.from('2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z').plus({ days: 1, hours: 2, minutes: 30 }) // 2024-01-02T02:30:00.000Z

// Add relative durations (months/years)
DateTime.from('2024-01-31T00:00:00.000Z').plus({ months: 1 }) // 2024-02-29T00:00:00.000Z (handles leap years)

// Add Duration object
DateTime.from('2024-01-31T00:00:00.000Z').plus(Duration.hours(2)) // 2024-01-31T02:00:00.000Z

// Add milliseconds
DateTime.from('2024-01-31T00:00:00.000Z').plus(86_400_000) // 2024-02-01T00:00:00.000Z

minus(duration: DurationLike): DateTime: Returns a DateTime with the duration subtracted

// Subtract absolute durations
DateTime.from('2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z').minus({ days: 1, hours: 2 }) // 2023-12-30T22:00:00.000Z

// Subtract relative durations
DateTime.from('2024-03-31T00:00:00.000Z').minus({ months: 1 }) // 2024-02-29T00:00:00.000Z (handles leap years)

// Subtract Duration object
DateTime.from('2024-01-31T00:00:00.000Z').minus(Duration.hours(2)) // 2024-01-30T22:00:00.000Z

// Subtract milliseconds
DateTime.from('2024-01-31T00:00:00.000Z').minus(86_400_000) // 2023-12-31T00:00:00.000Z
