Installation

moment-range works in both the browser and node.js.

Node / NPM

Install via npm:

npm install --save moment-range

ES6:

import Moment from 'moment';
import { extendMoment } from 'moment-range';

const moment = extendMoment(Moment);

TypeScript:

import * as Moment from 'moment';
import { extendMoment } from 'moment-range';

const moment = extendMoment(Moment);

CommonJS:

const Moment = require('moment');
const MomentRange = require('moment-range');

const moment = MomentRange.extendMoment(Moment);

Browser

<script src="moment.js"></script>
<script src="moment-range.js"></script>

window['moment-range'].extendMoment(moment);

Thanks to the fine people at cdnjs, you can link to moment-range from the cdnjs servers.

Older browsers and IE11

This library makes use of Symbol.iterator to provide the iteration protocols now that there is broad support for them, if you need to support older browsers (specifically IE11) you will need to include a polyfill. Any of the following should work, depending on your project configuration:

• babel runtime transform plugin
• babel polyfill
• https://github.com/medikoo/es6-iterator
• https://github.com/zloirock/core-js

Examples

Create

Create a date range:

const start = new Date(2012, 0, 15);
const end   = new Date(2012, 4, 23);
const range = moment.range(start, end);

You can also create a date range with moment objects:

const start = moment('2011-04-15', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
const end   = moment('2011-11-27', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
const range = moment.range(start, end);

Arrays work too:

const dates = [moment('2011-04-15', 'YYYY-MM-DD'), moment('2011-11-27', 'YYYY-MM-DD')];
const range = moment.range(dates);

You can also create a range from an ISO 8601 time interval string:

const timeInterval = '2015-01-17T09:50:04+00:00/2015-04-17T08:29:55+00:00';
const range = moment.range(timeInterval);

You can also create a range from the start until the end of a named interval:

const date = moment('2011-04-15', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
const range = date.range('month');

You can also create open-ended ranges which go to the earliest or latest possible date:

const rangeUntil = moment.range(null, '2011-05-05');
const rangeFrom = moment.range('2011-03-05');
const rangeAllTime = moment.range();

Note that any falsy value except 0 is treated as a missing date, resulting in an open-ended range.

Note: Dates and moment objects both use a timestamp of 00:00:000 if none is provided. To ensure your range includes any timestamp for the given end date, use .setHours(23,59,59,999) when constructing a Date object, or .endOf('day') when constructing a moment object.

rangeFromInterval

You can also create a range between an interval and a specified date. This accepts positive or negative values for count and the date will default to now if not provided.

const interval = 'month';
const count = 4;
const date = moment('2017-07-20');

const range1 = moment.rangeFromInterval(interval, count, date);  // moment.range('2017-07-20', '2017-11-20')
const range2 = moment.rangeFromInterval('month', -2, date);      // moment.range('2017-05-20', '2017-07-20')

Note: The date can be provided as a Date, String, or Moment. When using a negative interval, the date provided will be set as the end of the range.

parseZoneRange

DEPRECATED in 4.0.0: Replaced by rangeFromISOString to follow naming conventions.

rangeFromISOString

Converts an ISO 8601 time interval string into a date range while preserving the time zones using moment.parseZone.

const interval = '2015-01-17T09:50:00+03:00/2015-04-17T08:29:55-04:00';
const range = moment.rangeFromISOString(interval);

range.toString(); // '2015-01-17T09:50:00+03:00/2015-04-17T08:29:55-04:00'

Attributes

You can access the start and end moments of the range easily enough:

const start = new Date(2012, 0, 15);
const end   = new Date(2012, 4, 23);
const range = moment.range(start, end);

range.start  // moment
range.end  // moment

Querying

Many of the following examples make use of these moments:

const a = moment('2016-03-10');
const b = moment('2016-03-15');
const c = moment('2016-03-29');
const d = moment('2016-04-01');

Adjacent

Check if two ranges are touching but not overlapping:

const range1 = moment.range(a, b);
const range2 = moment.range(b, c);
const range3 = moment.range(c, d);

range1.adjacent(range2) // true
range1.adjacent(range3) // false

Center

Calculate the center of a range:

const start = new Date(2011, 2, 5);
const end   = new Date(2011, 3, 5);
const range = moment.range(start, end);

range.center(); // 1300622400000

Contains

Check to see if your range contains a date/moment. By default the start and end dates are included in the search. E.g.:

const range = moment.range(a, c);

range.contains(a); // true
range.contains(b); // true
range.contains(c); // true
range.contains(d); // false

You can also control whether the start or end dates should be excluded from the search with the excludeStart and excludeEnd options:

const range = moment.range(a, c);

range.contains(a); // true
range.contains(a, { excludeStart: true }); // false
range.contains(c); // true
range.contains(c, { excludeEnd: true; }); // false

DEPRECATED in 4.0.0: The exclusive options is used to indicate if the start/end of the range should be excluded when testing for inclusion:

Note: You can obtain the same functionality by setting { excludeStart: true, excludeEnd: true }

range.contains(c); // true
range.contains(c, { exclusive: false }); // true
range.contains(c, { exclusive: true }); // false

Within

Find out if your moment falls within a date range:

const range = moment.range(a, c);

b.within(range); // true

Overlaps

Does it overlap another range?

const range1 = moment.range(a, c);
const range2 = moment.range(b, d);
range1.overlaps(range2); // true

Include adjacent ranges:

const range1 = moment.range(a, b);
const range2 = moment.range(b, c);

range1.overlaps(range2)                      // false
range1.overlaps(range2, { adjacent: false }) // false
range1.overlaps(range2, { adjacent: true })  // true

Intersect

What is the intersecting range?

const range1 = moment.range(a, c);
const range2 = moment.range(b, d);
range1.intersect(range2); // moment.range(b, c)

IsRange

Is it a Range?

moment.isRange(range); // true
moment.isRange(IamNotRange); // false

Manipulation

Add

Add/combine/merge overlapping or adjacent ranges.

const range1 = moment.range(a, c);
const range2 = moment.range(b, d);
range1.add(range2); // moment.range(a, d)

const range3 = moment.range(a, b);
const range4 = moment.range(c, d);
range3.add(range4); // null

Include adjacent ranges:

const range1 = moment.range(a, b);
const range2 = moment.range(b, c);

range1.add(range2); // null
range1.add(range2, { adjacent: false }); // null
range1.add(range2, { adjacent: true }); // moment.range(a, c)

Clone

Deep clone a range

const range1 = moment.range(a, d);

const range2 = range1.clone();
range2.start.add(2, 'days');

range1.start.toDate().getTime() === range2.start.toDate().getTime() // false

SnapTo

Snap the start and end of a range to a given interval.

const start = moment('2018-01-25 17:05:33');
const end = moment('2018-01-28 06:10:00');

const range1 = moment.range(start, end);
const range2 = range1.snapTo('day'); // 2018-01-25T00:00:00 -> 2018-01-28T23:59:59

range1.diff('days'); // 2
range2.diff('days'); // 3

Subtract

Subtracting one range from another.

const range_ab = moment.range(a, b);
const range_bc = moment.range(b, c);
const range_cd = moment.range(c, d);
const range_ad = moment.range(a, d);
range_ad.subtract(range_bc); // [moment.range(a, b) moment.range(c, d)]
range_ac.subtract(range_bc); // [moment.range(a, b)]
range_ab.subtract(range_cd); // [moment.range(a, b)]
range_bc.subtract(range_bd); // [null]

Iteration

Each of the iteration methods returns an Iterable, providing a convenient and performant interface to iterating over your ranges by a given period.

by

Iterate over your range by a given period. Any of the units accepted by moment.js' add method may be used. E.g.: 'years' | 'quarters' | 'months' | 'weeks' | 'days' | 'hours' | 'minutes' | 'seconds' | 'milliseconds'

const range = moment.range('2010-01-01', '2015-01-01');

for (let month of range.by('month')) {
  month.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
}

const years = Array.from(range.by('year'));
years.length == 6 // true
years.map(m => m.format('YYYY')) // ['2010', '2011', '2012', '2013', '2014', '2015']

Iteration also supports excluding the final time slice of the range by setting the excludeEnd option to true. In the example below, the 5:00 -> 6:00 time slice is omitted.

const range = moment.range('2018-01-01 00:00', '2018-01-01 05:30');

const hours = Array.from(range.by('hour', { excludeEnd: true }));
hours.length == 5 // true
hours.map(m => m.format('HH:mm')) // ['00:00', '01:00', '02:00', '03:00', '04:00']

Additionally it's possible to iterate by a given step that defaults to 1:

const start  = new Date(2012, 2, 2);
const end    = new Date(2012, 2, 6);
const range1 = moment.range(start, end);

let acc = Array.from(range1.by('day', { step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['02', '04', '06']

acc = Array.from(range1.by('day', { excludeEnd: true, step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['02', '04']

You can iterate over the span of a range for a period that is entered but not complete by using the snapTo() method:

const start = moment("2017-01-01T13:30:00");
const end = moment("2017-01-05T01:45:12");
const r1 = moment.range(start, end);
const r2 = r1.snapTo('day');

Array.from(r1.by('days')).map(m => m.format('DD')); // ['01', '02', '03', '04']
Array.from(r2.by('days')).map(m => m.format('DD')); // ['01', '02', '03', '04', '05']

DEPRECATED in 4.0.0: The exclusive options is used to indicate if the end of the range should be excluded when testing for inclusion:

Note: You can obtain the same functionality by setting { excludeEnd: true }

byRange

const start = new Date(2012, 2, 1); // 1st
const two   = new Date(2012, 2, 2); // 2nd
const end   = new Date(2012, 2, 5); // 5th
const range1 = moment.range(start, end);
const range2 = moment.range(start, two); // One day

Iterate by another range:

const acc = Array.from(range1.byRange(range2));

acc.length == 5 // true
acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['01','02','03','04','05']

Exclude the end time slice:

const acc = Array.from(range1.byRange(range2, { excludeEnd: true }));

acc.length == 4 // true
acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['01','02','03','04']

By step:

let acc = Array.from(range1.byRange(range2, { step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['01', '03', '05']

acc = Array.from(range1.byRange(range2, { excludeEnd, true, step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['01', '03']

DEPRECATED in 4.0.0: The exclusive options is used to indicate if the end of the range should be excluded when testing for inclusion:

Note: You can obtain the same functionality by setting { excludeEnd: true }

reverseBy

Iterate over a range in reverse:

const range = moment.range('2012-01-01', '2015-01-01');
const acc = Array.from(range.reverseBy('years'));
acc.map(m => m.format('YYYY')) // ['2015', '2014', '2013', '2012']

Exclude the start time slice:

const range = moment.range('2012-01-01', '2015-01-01');
const acc = Array.from(range.reverseBy('years', { excludeStart: true }));
acc.map(m => m.format('YYYY')) // ['2015', '2014', '2013']

By step:

const start  = new Date(2012, 2, 2);
const end    = new Date(2012, 2, 6);
const range1 = moment.range(start, end);

let acc = Array.from(range1.reverseBy('day', { step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['06', '04', '02']

acc = Array.from(range1.reverseBy('day', { excludeStart: true, step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['06', '04']

DEPRECATED in 4.0.0: The exclusive options is used to indicate if the start of the range should be excluded when testing for inclusion:

Note: You can obtain the same functionality by setting { excludeStart: true }

reverseByRange

const start = new Date(2012, 2, 1);
const two   = new Date(2012, 2, 2);
const end   = new Date(2012, 2, 5);
const range1 = moment.range(start, end);
const range2 = moment.range(start, two); // One day

Iterate by another range in reverse:

const acc = Array.from(range1.reverseByRange(range2));

acc.length == 5 // true
acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['05', '04', '03', '02', '01']

Exclude the start value:

const acc = Array.from(range1.reverseByRange(range2, { excludeStart: true }));

acc.length == 4 // true
acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['05', '04', '03', '02']

By step:

let acc = Array.from(range1.reverseByRange(range2, { step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['05', '03', '01']

acc = Array.from(range1.reverseByRange(range2, { excludeStart: true, step: 2 }));

acc.map(m => m.format('DD')) // ['05', '03']

DEPRECATED in 4.0.0: The exclusive options is used to indicate if the start of the range should be excluded when testing for inclusion:

Note: You can obtain the same functionality by setting { excludeStart: true }

Compare

Compare range lengths or add them together with simple math:

const range1 = moment.range(new Date(2011, 2, 5), new Date(2011, 3, 15));
const range2 = moment.range(new Date(1995, 0, 1), new Date(1995, 12, 25));

range2 > range1 // true

range1 + range2 // duration of both ranges in milliseconds

Math.abs(range1 - range2); // difference of ranges in milliseconds

Equality

Check if two ranges are the same, i.e. their starts and ends are the same:

const range1 = moment.range(new Date(2011, 2, 5), new Date(2011, 3, 15));
const range2 = moment.range(new Date(2011, 2, 5), new Date(2011, 3, 15));
const range3 = moment.range(new Date(2011, 3, 5), new Date(2011, 6, 15));

range1.isSame(range2); // true
range2.isSame(range3); // false

range1.isEqual(range2); // true
range2.isEqual(range3); // false

Difference

The difference of the entire range given various units.

Any of the units accepted by moment.js' add method may be used.

const start = new Date(2011, 2, 5);
const end   = new Date(2011, 5, 5);
const range = moment.range(start, end);

range.diff('months'); // 3
range.diff('days');   // 92
range.diff();         // 7945200000

Optionally you may specify if the difference should not be truncated. By default it mimics moment-js' behaviour and truncates the values:

const d1 = new Date(Date.UTC(2011, 4, 1));
const d2 = new Date(Date.UTC(2011, 4, 5, 12));
const range = moment.range(d1, d2);

range.diff('days')        // 4
range.diff('days', false) // 4
range.diff('days', true)  // 4.75

#duration is an alias for #diff and they may be used interchangeably.

Conversion

toDate

Converts the DateRange to an Array of the start and end Date objects.

const start = new Date(2011, 2, 5);
const end   = new Date(2011, 5, 5);
const range = moment.range(start, end);

range.toDate(); // [new Date(2011, 2, 5), new Date(2011, 5, 5)]

toString

Converting a DateRange to a String will format it as an ISO 8601 time interval:

const start = '2015-01-17T09:50:04+00:00';
const end   = '2015-04-17T08:29:55+00:00';
const range = moment.range(moment.utc(start), moment.utc(end));

range.toString() // '2015-01-17T09:50:04+00:00/2015-04-17T08:29:55+00:00'

valueOf

The difference between the end date and start date in milliseconds.

const start = new Date(2011, 2, 5);
const end   = new Date(2011, 5, 5);
const range = moment.range(start, end);

range.valueOf(); // 7945200000
