floordate

floordate is a simple function for setting a date to the beginning of a standard time threshold. E.g. the beginning of the month, year, week, etc.

var floorDate = require("floordate")
 
var d = new Date()
// Thu Aug 15 2013 19:38:49 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, 5000) // floor to the nearest 5000 ms interval prior to now
// Thu Aug 15 2013 19:38:45 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "second")
// Thu Aug 15 2013 19:38:45 GMT-0700 (PDT)
// or
floorDate.toSecond(d)
// Thu Aug 15 2013 19:38:45 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "minute")
// Thu Aug 15 2013 19:38:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "hour")
// Thu Aug 15 2013 19:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "day")
// Thu Aug 15 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "week")
// Sun Aug 11 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "quarter")
// Mon Jul 01 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
 
floorDate(d, "year")
// Tue Jan 01 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)

API

floorDate(date, threshold[, timezoneOffset])

Floor a date to the beginning of the specified threshold. If provided with a desired timezoneOffset, it will convert from the current LOCALE timezone to the offset specified.

• date: date can be a Date or a millisecond epoch timestamp
• threshold: threshold can be a number of milliseconds, or a time threshold matching the following:
  • s, sec, secs, second, seconds
  • m, min, mins, minute, minutes
  • h, hr, hrs, hour, hours
  • d, day, days
  • w, wk, wks, week, weeks
  • M, mon, mons, month, months
  • y, yr, yrs, year, years
  • q, qtr, qtrs, quarter, quarters
• timezoneOffset: (in minutes, e.g. Date.getTimezoneOffset())
  • Also accepts "UTC" as an alias for offset 0

Note about DST:

Timezone conversion is applied on the resulting date -- e.g. it will look at the local offset of the resulting floored date, then apply the offset to return a Date object with the offset applied.

This means it is the responsibility of the user to correctly specify the desired timezone offset including DST for the resulting date, which may be different.

Aliases

• floorDate.toSecond(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toMinute(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toHour(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toDay(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toWeek(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toMonth(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toQuarter(date[, timezoneOffset])
• floorDate.toYear(date[, timezoneOffset])
