Temporal proposal

Introduction

The venerable ECMAScript Date object has a number of challenges, including lack of immutability, lack of support for time zones, lack of support for use cases that require dates only or times only, a confusing and non-ergonomic API, and many other challenges.

The Temporal set of types addresses these challenges with a built-in date and time API for ECMAScript that includes:

Figure 1: Temporal Object Relationships
Figure 2: Temporal String Persistence

This specification consists of three parts:

1 The Temporal Object

The Temporal object:

  • is the intrinsic object %Temporal%.
  • is the initial value of the "Temporal" property of the global object.
  • is an ordinary object.
  • has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Object.prototype%.
  • is not a function object.
  • does not have a [[Construct]] internal method; it cannot be used as a constructor with the new operator.
  • does not have a [[Call]] internal method; it cannot be invoked as a function.

1.1 Value Properties of the Temporal Object

1.1.1 Temporal [ %Symbol.toStringTag% ]

The initial value of the %Symbol.toStringTag% property is the String value "Temporal".

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }.

1.2 Constructor Properties of the Temporal Object

1.2.1 Temporal.Instant ( . . . )

1.2.6 Temporal.PlainMonthDay ( . . . )

See 10.

1.2.7 Temporal.Duration ( . . . )

See 7.

1.2.8 Temporal.ZonedDateTime ( . . . )

See 6.

1.3 Other Properties of the Temporal Object

1.3.1 Temporal.Now

See 2.

2 The Temporal.Now Object

The Temporal.Now object:

  • is an ordinary object.
  • has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Object.prototype%.
  • is not a function object.
  • does not have a [[Construct]] internal method; it cannot be used as a constructor with the new operator.

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let ns be SystemUTCEpochNanoseconds().
  2. Return ! CreateTemporalInstant(ns).

2.2.3 Temporal.Now.plainDateTimeISO ( [ temporalTimeZoneLike ] )

This function performs the following steps when called:

2.3 Abstract Operations

2.3.1 HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds ( global )

The host-defined abstract operation HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds takes argument global (a global object) and returns an integer. It allows host environments to reduce the precision of the result. In particular, web browsers artificially limit it to prevent abuse of security flaws (e.g., Spectre) and to avoid certain methods of fingerprinting.

An implementation of HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds must conform to the following requirements:

Note

This requirement is necessary if the system clock is set to a time outside the range that Temporal.Instant can represent. This is not expected to affect implementations in practice.

The default implementation of HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let ns be the approximate current UTC date and time, in nanoseconds since the epoch.
  2. Return the result of clamping ns between nsMinInstant and nsMaxInstant.

ECMAScript hosts that are not web browsers must use the default implementation of HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds.

2.3.2 SystemUTCEpochMilliseconds ( )

The abstract operation SystemUTCEpochMilliseconds takes no arguments and returns a Number. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let global be GetGlobalObject().
  2. Let nowNs be HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds(global).
  3. Return 𝔽(floor(nowNs / 106)).

2.3.3 SystemUTCEpochNanoseconds ( )

The abstract operation SystemUTCEpochNanoseconds takes no arguments and returns a BigInt. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let global be GetGlobalObject().
  2. Let nowNs be HostSystemUTCEpochNanoseconds(global).
  3. Return ℤ(nowNs).

2.3.4 SystemDateTime ( temporalTimeZoneLike )

The abstract operation SystemDateTime takes argument temporalTimeZoneLike (an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing an ISO Date-Time Record or a throw completion. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If temporalTimeZoneLike is undefined, then
    1. Let timeZone be SystemTimeZoneIdentifier().
  2. Else,
    1. Let timeZone be ? ToTemporalTimeZoneIdentifier(temporalTimeZoneLike).
  3. Let epochNs be SystemUTCEpochNanoseconds().

3.1 The Temporal.PlainDate Constructor

The Temporal.PlainDate constructor:

  • creates and initializes a new Temporal.PlainDate object when called as a constructor.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified Temporal.PlainDate behaviour must include a super call to the %Temporal.PlainDate% constructor to create and initialize subclass instances with the necessary internal slots.

3.1.1 Temporal.PlainDate ( isoYear, isoMonth, isoDay [ , calendar ] )

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. If NewTarget is undefined, throw a TypeError exception.

Lexicographical comparison of serialized strings might not seem obviously wrong, because the result would sometimes be correct. Implementations are encouraged to phrase the error message to point users to Temporal.PlainDate.compare(), Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.equals(), and/or Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.toString().

3.4 Properties of Temporal.PlainDate Instances

Temporal.PlainDate instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from the %Temporal.PlainDate.prototype% intrinsic object. Temporal.PlainDate instances are initially created with the internal slots described in Table 1.

Table 1: Internal Slots of Temporal.PlainDate Instances
Internal Slot Description
[[InitializedTemporalDate]] The only specified use of this slot is for distinguishing Temporal.PlainDate instances from other objects.
[[ISODate]] An ISO Date Record.
[[Calendar]] A calendar type.

3.5 Abstract Operations for Temporal.PlainDate Objects

3.5.1 ISO Date Records

An ISO Date Record is a Record value used to represent a valid calendar date in the ISO 8601 calendar, although the year may be outside of the allowed range for Temporal. ISO Date Records are produced by the abstract operation CreateISODateRecord.

ISO Date Records have the fields listed in Table 2.

Table 2: ISO Date Record Fields
Field Name Value Meaning
[[Year]] an integer The year in the ISO 8601 calendar.
[[Month]] an integer between 1 and 12, inclusive The number of the month in the ISO 8601 calendar.
[[Day]] an integer between 1 and 31, inclusive The number of the day of the month in the ISO 8601 calendar.

3.5.2 CreateISODateRecord ( year, month, day )

The abstract operation CreateISODateRecord takes arguments year (an integer), month (an integer between 1 and 12 inclusive), and day (an integer between 1 and 31 inclusive) and returns an ISO Date Record. It performs the following steps when called:

It creates a Temporal.PlainDate instance and fills the internal slots with valid values. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If ISODateWithinLimits(isoDate) is false, throw a RangeError exception.
  2. If newTarget is not present, set newTarget to %Temporal.PlainDate%.
  3. Let object be ? OrdinaryCreateFromConstructor(newTarget, "%Temporal.PlainDate.prototype%", « [[InitializedTemporalDate]], [[ISODate]], [[Calendar]] »).

5.5 Abstract Operations

5.5.1 ISO Date-Time Records

An ISO Date-Time Record is a Record value used to represent a valid calendar date in the ISO 8601 calendar together with a clock time. For any ISO Date-Time Record r, IsValidISODate(r.[[ISODate]].[[Year]], r.[[ISODate]][[Month]], r.[[ISODate]].[[Day]]) must return true, and IsValidTime(r.[[Time]].[[Hour]], r.[[Time]].[[Minute]], r.[[Time]].[[Second]], r.[[Time]].[[Millisecond]], r.[[Time]].[[Microsecond]], r.[[Time]].[[Nanosecond]]) must return true. It is not necessary for ISODateTimeWithinLimits(r) to return true.

ISO Date-Time Records have the fields listed in Table 7.

Table 7: ISO Date-Time Record Fields
Field Name Value Meaning
[[ISODate]] an ISO Date Record The date in the ISO 8601 calendar.

6 Temporal.ZonedDateTime Objects

A Temporal.ZonedDateTime object is an Object referencing a fixed point in time with nanoseconds precision, and containing Object values corresponding to a particular time zone and calendar system.

6.1 The Temporal.ZonedDateTime Constructor

The Temporal.ZonedDateTime constructor:

  • creates and initializes a new Temporal.ZonedDateTime object when called as a constructor.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified Temporal.ZonedDateTime behaviour must include a super call to the %Temporal.ZonedDateTime% constructor to create and initialize subclass instances with the necessary internal slots.

An ECMAScript implementation that includes the ECMA-402 Internationalization API must implement this method as specified in the ECMA-402 specification. If an ECMAScript implementation does not include the ECMA-402 API the following specification of this method is used.

The meanings of the optional parameters to this method are defined in the ECMA-402 specification; implementations that do not include ECMA-402 support must not use those parameter positions for anything else.

This method performs the following steps when called:

6.5 Abstract Operations

6.5.1 InterpretISODateTimeOffset ( isoDate, time, offsetBehaviour, offsetNanoseconds, timeZone, disambiguation, offsetOption, matchBehaviour )

The abstract operation InterpretISODateTimeOffset takes arguments isoDate (an ISO Date Record), time (a Time Record or start-of-day), offsetBehaviour (option, exact, or wall), offsetNanoseconds (an integer), timeZone (an available time zone identifier), disambiguation (earlier, later, compatible, or reject), offsetOption (ignore, use, prefer, or reject), and matchBehaviour (match-exactly or match-minutes) and returns either a normal completion containing a BigInt or a throw completion.

It determines the exact time in timeZone corresponding to the given calendar date and time, and the given UTC offset in nanoseconds. In the case of more than one possible exact time, or no possible exact time, an answer is determined using offsetBehaviour, disambiguation and offsetOption.

As a special case when parsing ISO 8601 strings which are only required to specify time zone offsets to minutes precision, if matchBehaviour is match minutes, then a value for offsetNanoseconds that is rounded to the nearest minute will be accepted in those cases where offsetNanoseconds is compared against timeZone's offset. If matchBehaviour is match exactly, then this does not happen.

  • creates and initializes a new Temporal.Duration object when called as a constructor.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified Temporal.Duration behaviour must include a super call to the %Temporal.Duration% constructor to create and initialize subclass instances with the necessary internal slots.

This method always throws, because in the absence of valueOf(), expressions with arithmetic operators such as duration1 > duration2 would fall back to being equivalent to duration1.toString() > duration2.toString(). Lexicographical comparison of serialized strings might not seem obviously wrong, because the result would sometimes be correct. Implementations are encouraged to phrase the error message to point users to Temporal.Duration.compare() and/or Temporal.Duration.prototype.toString().

7.4 Properties of Temporal.Duration Instances

Temporal.Duration instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from the %Temporal.Duration.prototype% intrinsic object. Temporal.Duration instances are initially created with the internal slots described in Table 9.

A float64-representable integer is an integer that is exactly representable as a Number value. That is, for a float64-representable integer x, it must hold that ℝ(𝔽(x)) = x.

Note
The use of float64-representable integers here is intended so that implementations can store and do arithmetic on Duration fields using 64-bit floating-point values.
Table 9: Internal Slots of Temporal.Duration Instances
Internal Slot Description
[[InitializedTemporalDuration]] The only specified use of this slot is for distinguishing Temporal.Duration instances from other objects.
[[Years]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of years in the duration.
[[Months]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of months in the duration.
[[Weeks]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of weeks in the duration.
[[Days]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of days in the duration.
[[Hours]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of hours in the duration.
[[Minutes]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of minutes in the duration.
[[Seconds]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of seconds in the duration.
[[Milliseconds]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of milliseconds in the duration.
[[Microseconds]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of microseconds in the duration.
[[Nanoseconds]] A float64-representable integer representing the number of nanoseconds in the duration.

7.5.3 Internal Duration Records

A Internal Duration Record is a Record value used to represent the combination of a Date Duration Record with a time duration. Such Records are used by operations that deal with both date and time portions of durations, such as RoundTimeDuration.

A time duration is an integer in the inclusive interval from -maxTimeDuration to maxTimeDuration, where maxTimeDuration = 253 × 109 - 1 = 9,007,199,254,740,991,999,999,999 It represents the portion of a Temporal.Duration object that deals with time units, but as a combined value of total nanoseconds.

Internal Duration Records have the fields listed in Table 12.

Table 15: Internal Slots of Temporal.PlainYearMonth Instances
Internal Slot Description
[[InitializedTemporalYearMonth]] The only specified use of this slot is for distinguishing Temporal.PlainYearMonth instances from other objects.
[[ISODate]] An ISO Date Record. The [[Day]] field is used by the calendar in the [[Calendar]] slot to disambiguate if the [[Year]] and [[Month]] fields are not sufficient to uniquely identify a year and month in that calendar.
[[Calendar]] A calendar type.

9.5 Abstract Operations

9.5.1 ISO Year-Month Records

An ISO Year-Month Record is a Record value used to represent a valid month in the ISO 8601 calendar, although the year may be outside of the allowed range for Temporal.

ISO Year-Month Records have the fields listed in Table 16.

Table 16: ISO Year-Month Record Fields
Field Name Value Meaning
[[Year]] an integer The year in the ISO 8601 calendar.
[[Month]] an integer between 1 and 12, inclusive The number of the month in the ISO 8601 calendar.

9.5.2 ToTemporalYearMonth ( item [ , options ] )

The abstract operation ToTemporalYearMonth takes argument item (an ECMAScript language value) and optional argument options (an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing a Temporal.PlainYearMonth, or a throw completion. Converts item to a new Temporal.PlainYearMonth instance if possible, and throws otherwise. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If options is not present, set options to undefined.
  2. If item is an Object, then
    1. If item has an [[InitializedTemporalYearMonth]] internal slot, then
      1. Let resolvedOptions be ? GetOptionsObject(options).
      2. Perform ? GetTemporalOverflowOption(resolvedOptions).
      3. Return ! CreateTemporalYearMonth(item.[[ISODate]], item.[[Calendar]]).
    2. Let calendar be ? GetTemporalCalendarIdentifierWithISODefault(item).
    3. Let fields be ? PrepareCalendarFields(calendar, item, « year, month, month-code », «», «»).
    4. Let resolvedOptions be ? GetOptionsObject(options).
    5. Let overflow be ? GetTemporalOverflowOption(resolvedOptions).
    6. Let isoDate be ? CalendarYearMonthFromFields(calendar, fields, overflow).
    7. Return ! CreateTemporalYearMonth(isoDate, calendar).
  3. If item is not a String, throw a TypeError exception.
  4. Let result be ? ParseISODateTime(item, « TemporalYearMonthString »).
  5. Let calendar be result.[[Calendar]].
  6. If calendar is empty, set calendar to "iso8601".
  7. Set calendar to ? CanonicalizeCalendar(calendar).
  8. Let isoDate be CreateISODateRecord(result.[[Year]], result.[[Month]], result.[[Day]]).
  9. Set result to ISODateToFields(calendar, isoDate, year-month).
  10. Let resolvedOptions be ? GetOptionsObject(options).
  11. Perform ? GetTemporalOverflowOption(resolvedOptions).
  12. NOTE: The following operation is called with constrain regardless of the value of overflow, in order for the calendar to store a canonical value in the [[Day]] field of the [[ISODate]] internal slot of the result.
  13. Set isoDate to ? CalendarYearMonthFromFields(calendar, result, constrain).
  14. Return ! CreateTemporalYearMonth(isoDate, calendar).

9.5.3 ISOYearMonthWithinLimits ( isoDate )

The abstract operation ISOYearMonthWithinLimits takes argument isoDate (an ISO Date Record) and returns a Boolean. It returns true if its argument represents a month within the range that a Temporal.PlainYearMonth object can represent, and false otherwise. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If isoDate.[[Year]] < -271821 or isoDate.[[Year]] > 275760, then
    1. Return false.
  2. If isoDate.[[Year]] = -271821 and isoDate.[[Month]] < 4, then
    1. Return false.
  3. If isoDate.[[Year]] = 275760 and isoDate.[[Month]] > 9, then
    1. Return false.
  4. Return true.
 Note

Temporal.PlainYearMonth objects can represent any month that contains a day that a Temporal.PlainDate can represent. This ensures that a Temporal.PlainDate object can always be converted into a Temporal.PlainYearMonth object.

9.5.4 BalanceISOYearMonth ( year, month )

  2. Let month be ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(yearMonth.[[ISODate]].[[Month]], 2).
  3. Let result be the string-concatenation of year, the code unit 0x002D (HYPHEN-MINUS), and month.
  4. If showCalendar is one of always or critical, or if yearMonth.[[Calendar]] is not "iso8601", then

10.1 The Temporal.PlainMonthDay Constructor

The Temporal.PlainMonthDay constructor:

  • creates and initializes a new Temporal.PlainMonthDay object when called as a constructor.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified Temporal.PlainMonthDay behaviour must include a super call to the %Temporal.PlainMonthDay% constructor to create and initialize subclass instances with the necessary internal slots.

10.1.1 Temporal.PlainMonthDay ( isoMonth, isoDay [ , calendar [ , referenceISOYear ] ] )

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. If NewTarget is undefined, then

 Note

This method always throws, because in the absence of valueOf(), expressions with arithmetic operators such as plainMonthDay1 > plainMonthDay2 would fall back to being equivalent to plainMonthDay1.toString() > plainMonthDay2.toString(). Lexicographical comparison of serialized strings might not seem obviously wrong, because the result would sometimes be correct. Implementations are encouraged to phrase the error message to point users to Temporal.PlainDate.compare() on the corresponding PlainDate objects, Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.equals(), and/or Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.toString().

11 Time Zones

11.1 Abstract Operations

Editor's Note
In ECMA-262, many time-zone-related sections and abstract operations are contained in the Date Objects section of the specification. It may be appropriate to move those sections here, for example:

11.1.1 GetAvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifier ( timeZoneIdentifier )

The abstract operation GetAvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifier takes argument timeZoneIdentifier (a named time zone identifier) and returns either a Time Zone Identifier Record or empty. If timeZoneIdentifier is an available named time zone identifier, then it returns one of the records in the List returned by AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers. Otherwise, empty will be returned. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. For each element record of AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers(), do
    1. If record.[[Identifier]] is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for timeZoneIdentifier, return record.
  2. Return empty.
 Note

For any timeZoneIdentifier, or any value that is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for it, the result of this operation must remain the same for the lifetime of the surrounding agent. Specifically, if that result is a Time Zone Identifier Record, its fields must contain the same values.

Furthermore, time zone identifiers must not dynamically change from primary to non-primary or vice versa during the lifetime of the surrounding agent, meaning that if timeZoneIdentifier is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for the [[PrimaryIdentifier]] field of the result of a previous call to GetAvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifier, then GetAvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifier(timeZoneIdentifier) must return a record where [[Identifier]] is [[PrimaryIdentifier]].

Due to the complexity of supporting these requirements, it is recommended that the result of AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers (and therefore GetAvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifier) remains the same for the lifetime of the surrounding agent.

11.1.2 GetISOPartsFromEpoch ( epochNanoseconds )

The abstract operation GetISOPartsFromEpoch takes argument epochNanoseconds (an integer) and returns an ISO Date-Time Record. It returns the components of a date in UTC corresponding to the given number of nanoseconds since the epoch. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Assert: IsValidEpochNanoseconds(ℤ(epochNanoseconds)) is true.
  2. Let remainderNs be epochNanoseconds modulo 106.
  3. Let epochMilliseconds be 𝔽((epochNanoseconds - remainderNs) / 106).
  4. Let year be EpochTimeToEpochYear(epochMilliseconds).
  5. Let month be EpochTimeToMonthInYear(epochMilliseconds) + 1.
  6. Let day be EpochTimeToDate(epochMilliseconds).
  7. Let hour be ℝ(HourFromTime(epochMilliseconds)).
  8. Let minute be ℝ(MinFromTime(epochMilliseconds)).
  9. Let second be ℝ(SecFromTime(epochMilliseconds)).
  10. Let millisecond be ℝ(msFromTime(epochMilliseconds)).
  11. Let microsecond be floor(remainderNs / 1000).

The implementation-defined abstract operation GetNamedTimeZoneNextTransition takes arguments timeZoneIdentifier (an available named time zone identifier) and epochNanoseconds (a BigInt) and returns a BigInt or null.

The returned value t represents the number of nanoseconds since the epoch that corresponds to the first time zone transition after epochNanoseconds in the IANA time zone identified by timeZoneIdentifier. The operation returns null if no such transition exists for which t ≤ ℤ(nsMaxInstant).

A transition is a point in time where the UTC offset of a time zone changes, for example when Daylight Saving Time starts or stops. The returned value t represents the first nanosecond where the new UTC offset is used in this time zone, not the last nanosecond where the previous UTC offset is used.

Given the same values of timeZoneIdentifier and epochNanoseconds, the result must be the same for the lifetime of the surrounding agent.

The minimum implementation of GetNamedTimeZoneNextTransition for ECMAScript implementations that do not include local political rules for any time zones performs the following steps when called:

  1. Assert: timeZoneIdentifier is "UTC".
  2. Return null.

11.1.4 GetNamedTimeZonePreviousTransition ( timeZoneIdentifier, epochNanoseconds )

The implementation-defined abstract operation GetNamedTimeZonePreviousTransition takes arguments timeZoneIdentifier (an available named time zone identifier) and epochNanoseconds (a BigInt) and returns a BigInt or null.

The returned value t represents the number of nanoseconds since the epoch that corresponds to the last time zone transition before epochNanoseconds in the IANA time zone identified by timeZoneIdentifier. The operation returns null if no such transition exists for which t ≥ ℤ(nsMinInstant).

A transition is a point in time where the UTC offset of a time zone changes, for example when Daylight Saving Time starts or stops. The returned value t represents the first nanosecond where the new UTC offset is used in this time zone, not the last nanosecond where the previous UTC offset is used.

Given the same values of timeZoneIdentifier and epochNanoseconds, the result must be the same for the lifetime of the surrounding agent.

The minimum implementation of GetNamedTimeZonePreviousTransition for ECMAScript implementations that do not include local political rules for any time zones performs the following steps when called:

  1. Assert: timeZoneIdentifier is "UTC".

12 Calendars

12.1 Calendar Types

At a minimum, ECMAScript implementations must support a built-in calendar named "iso8601", representing the ISO 8601 calendar. In addition, implementations may support any number of other built-in calendars corresponding with those of the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR).

ECMAScript implementations identify built-in calendars using a calendar type as defined by Unicode Technical Standard #35, Part 4, Section 2. Their canonical form is a string containing only Unicode Basic Latin lowercase letters (U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A through U+007A LATIN SMALL LETTER Z, inclusive) and/or digits (U+0030 DIGIT ZERO through U+0039 DIGIT NINE, inclusive), with zero or more medial hyphens (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS).

12.1.1 CanonicalizeCalendar ( id )

The abstract operation CanonicalizeCalendar takes argument id (a String) and returns either a normal completion containing a calendar type, or a throw completion. It returns the canonical form of the calendar type denoted by id, or throws an exception if there is no such built-in calendar. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let calendars be AvailableCalendars().
  2. If calendars does not contain the ASCII-lowercase of id, throw a RangeError exception.
  3. Return CanonicalizeUValue("ca", id).

12.1.2 AvailableCalendars ( )

The implementation-defined abstract operation AvailableCalendars takes no arguments and returns a List of calendar types. The returned List is sorted according to lexicographic code unit order, and contains unique calendar types in canonical form (12.1) identifying the calendars for which the implementation provides the functionality of Intl.DateTimeFormat objects, including their aliases (e.g., either both or neither of "islamicc" and "islamic-civil"). The List must include "iso8601".

12.2 Abstract Operations

12.2.1 Calendar Date Records

An Calendar Date Record is a Record value used to represent a valid calendar date in a non-ISO 8601 calendar. Calendar Date Records are produced by the abstract operation CalendarISOToDate.

Calendar Date Records have the fields listed in Table 18.

Table 18: Calendar Date Record Fields
Field Name Value Meaning
[[Era]] a String or undefined A lowercase String value representing the date's era, or undefined for calendars that do not have eras.
[[EraYear]] an integer or undefined The ordinal position of the date's year within its era, or undefined for calendars that do not have eras. Note 1
Era years are 1-indexed for many calendars, but not all (e.g., the eras of the Burmese calendar each start with a year 0). Years can also advance opposite the flow of time (as for BCE years in the Gregorian calendar).
[[Year]] an integer The date's year relative to the first day of a calendar-specific "epoch year". Note 2
The year is relative to the first day of the calendar's epoch year, so if the epoch era starts in the middle of the year, the year will be the same value before and after the start date of the era.
[[Month]] a positive integer The 1-based ordinal position of the date's month within its year. Note 3
When the number of months in a year of the calendar is variable, a different value can be returned for dates that are part of the same month in different years. For example, in the Hebrew calendar, 1 Nisan 5781 is associated with value 7 while 1 Nisan 5782 is associated with value 8 because 5782 is a leap year and Nisan follows the insertion of Adar I.
[[MonthCode]] a String The month code of the date's month. The month code for a month that is not a leap month and whose 1-based ordinal position in a common year of the calendar (i.e., a year that is not a leap year) is n should be the string-concatenation of "M" and ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(n, 2), and the month code for a month that is a leap month inserted after a month whose 1-based ordinal position in a common year of the calendar is p should be the string-concatenation of "M", ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(p, 2), and "L". Note 4
For example, in the Hebrew calendar, the month code of Adar (and Adar II, in leap years) is "M06" and the month code of Adar I (the leap month inserted before Adar II) is "M05L". In a calendar with a leap month at the start of some years, the month code of that month would be "M00L".
[[Day]] a positive integer The 1-based ordinal position of the date's day within its month.
[[DayOfWeek]] a positive integer The day of the week corresponding to the date. The value should be 1-based, where 1 is the day corresponding to Monday in the given calendar.
[[DayOfYear]] a positive integer The 1-based ordinal position of the date's day within its year.
[[WeekOfYear]] a Year-Week Record

The date's calendar week of year, and the corresponding week calendar year.

The Year-Week Record's [[Week]] field should be 1-based.

The Year-Week Record's [[Year]] field is relative to the first day of a calendar-specific "epoch year", as in the Calendar Date Record's [[Year]] field, not relative to an era as in [[EraYear]].

Usually the Year-Week Record's [[Year]] field will contain the same value as the Calendar Date Record's [[Year]] field, but may contain the previous or next year if the week number in the Year-Week Record's [[Week]] field overlaps two different years. See also ISOWeekOfYear.

The Year-Week Record contains undefined in [[Week]] and [[Year]] field for calendars that do not have a well-defined week calendar system.

Editor's Note

More details about this field will be specified in the Intl era and monthCode proposal.

[[DaysInWeek]] a positive integer The number of days in the date's week.
[[DaysInMonth]] a positive integer The number of days in the date's month.
[[DaysInYear]] a positive integer The number of days in the date's year.
[[MonthsInYear]] a positive integer The number of months in the date's year.
[[InLeapYear]] a Boolean true if the date falls within a leap year, and false otherwise. Note 5
A "leap year" is a year that contains more days than other years (for solar or lunar calendars) or more months than other years (for lunisolar calendars like Hebrew or Chinese). Some calendars, especially lunisolar ones, have further variation in year length that is not represented in the output of this operation (e.g., the Hebrew calendar includes common years with 353, 354, or 355 days and leap years with 383, 384, or 385 days).

12.2.2 Calendar Fields Records

An Calendar Fields Record is a Record value used to represent full or partial input for a calendar date in a non-ISO 8601 calendar. Calendar Fields Records are produced by several abstract operations, such as ISODateToFields and PrepareCalendarFields, and are passed to abstract operations such as CalendarDateFromFields.

Many of the fields in a Calendar Fields Record have the same meaning as the fields of the same name in Calendar Date Records, but each field in a Calendar Fields Record may additionally be unset to indicate partial input.

Each field has a corresponding property key. These property keys correspond to the properties that are read from user input objects to populate the field, in methods such as Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.with().

Each field has a corresponding enumeration key. Lists of these enumeration keys are passed to abstract operations such as PrepareCalendarFields and CalendarFieldKeysToIgnore to denote a subset of fields to operate on.

Calendar Fields Records have the fields listed in Table 19.

Table 19: Calendar Fields Record Fields
Field Name Value Default Property Key Enumeration Key Conversion Meaning
[[Era]] a String or unset unset "era" era to-string A lowercase String value representing the era.
[[EraYear]] an integer or unset unset "eraYear" era-year to-integer-with-truncation The ordinal position of the year within the era.
[[Year]] an integer or unset unset "year" year to-integer-with-truncation The year relative to the first day of a calendar-specific "epoch year".
[[Month]] a positive integer or unset unset "month" month to-positive-integer-with-truncation The 1-based ordinal position of the month within the year.
[[MonthCode]] a String or unset unset "monthCode" month-code to-month-code The month code of the month.
[[Day]] a positive integer or unset unset "day" day to-positive-integer-with-truncation The 1-based ordinal position of the day within the month.
[[Hour]] an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 23 or unset 0 "hour" hour to-integer-with-truncation The number of the hour within the day.
[[Minute]] an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 59 or unset 0 "minute" minute to-integer-with-truncation The number of the minute within the hour.
[[Second]] an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 59 or unset 0 "second" second to-integer-with-truncation The number of the second within the minute.
[[Millisecond]] an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999 or unset 0 "millisecond" millisecond to-integer-with-truncation The number of the millisecond within the second.
[[Microsecond]] an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999 or unset 0 "microsecond" microsecond to-integer-with-truncation The number of the microsecond within the millisecond.
[[Nanosecond]] an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999 or unset 0 "nanosecond" nanosecond to-integer-with-truncation The number of the nanosecond within the microsecond.
[[OffsetString]] a String or unset unset "offset" offset to-offset-string A string of the form ±HH:MM[:SS.SSSSSSSSS] that can be parsed by ParseDateTimeUTCOffset.
[[TimeZone]] a String or unset unset "timeZone" time-zone to-temporal-time-zone-identifier A time zone identifier.

12.2.3 PrepareCalendarFields ( calendar, fields, calendarFieldNames, nonCalendarFieldNames, requiredFieldNames )

The abstract operation PrepareCalendarFields takes arguments calendar (a calendar type), fields (an Object), calendarFieldNames (a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19), nonCalendarFieldNames (a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19), and requiredFieldNames (partial or a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19) and returns either a normal completion containing a Calendar Fields Record, or a throw completion. It returns the result of reading from fields all of the property names corresponding to calendarFieldNames and nonCalendarFieldNames, plus any extra fields required by the calendar. The returned Record has a non-unset value for each element of fieldNames that corresponds with a non-undefined property on fields used as the input for relevant conversion. When requiredFields is partial, this operation throws if none of the properties are present with a non-undefined value. When requiredFields is a List, this operation throws if any of the properties named by it are absent or undefined. It performs the following steps when called:

12.2.4 CalendarFieldKeysPresent ( fields )

The abstract operation CalendarFieldKeysPresent takes argument fields (a Calendar Fields Record) and returns a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19. The returned List contains the enumeration keys for all fields of fields that are not unset. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let list be « ».
  2. For each row of Table 19, except the header row, do
    1. Let value be fields' field whose name is given in the Field Name column of the row.

It adds dateDuration to isoDate using the years, months, and weeks reckoning of calendar. If addition of years or months results in a nonexistent date, depending on overflow it will be coerced to an existing date or the operation will throw. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. Let intermediate be BalanceISOYearMonth(isoDate.[[Year]] + duration.[[Years]], isoDate.[[Month]] + duration.[[Months]]).

  3. If ISODateWithinLimits(result) is false, throw a RangeError exception.
  4. Return result.

When calendar is not "iso8601", the operation performs implementation-defined processing to add duration to date in the context of the calendar represented by calendar and returns the corresponding day, month and year of the result in the ISO 8601 calendar values as an ISO Date Record. It may throw a RangeError exception if overflow is reject and the resulting month or day would need to be clamped in order to form a valid date in calendar.

12.2.7 CalendarDateUntil ( calendar, one, two, largestUnit )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarDateUntil takes arguments calendar (a calendar type), one (an ISO Date Record), two (an ISO Date Record), and largestUnit (a date unit) and returns a Date Duration Record.

No fields larger than largestUnit will be non-zero in the resulting Date Duration Record. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. Let sign be -CompareISODate(one, two).
    2. If sign = 0, return ZeroDateDuration().
    3. Let years be 0.
    4. If largestUnit is year, then
      1. Let candidateYears be sign.
      2. Repeat, while ISODateSurpasses(sign, one.[[Year]] + candidateYears, one.[[Month]], one.[[Day]], two) is false,
        1. Set years to candidateYears.

      2. Let intermediate be BalanceISOYearMonth(one.[[Year]] + years, one.[[Month]] + candidateMonths).
      3. Repeat, while ISODateSurpasses(sign, intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]], one.[[Day]], two) is false,
        1. Set months to candidateMonths.
        2. Set candidateMonths to candidateMonths + sign.
        3. Set intermediate to BalanceISOYearMonth(intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]] + sign).
    7. Set intermediate to BalanceISOYearMonth(one.[[Year]] + years, one.[[Month]] + months).
    8. Let constrained be ! RegulateISODate(intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]], one.[[Day]], constrain).
    9. Let weeks be 0.
    10. If largestUnit is week, then
      1. Let candidateWeeks be sign.
      2. Set intermediate to BalanceISODate(constrained.[[Year]], constrained.[[Month]], constrained.[[Day]] + 7 × candidateWeeks).
      3. Repeat, while ISODateSurpasses(sign, intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]], intermediate.[[Day]], two) is false,
        1. Set weeks to candidateWeeks.
        2. Set candidateWeeks to candidateWeeks + sign.
        3. Set intermediate to BalanceISODate(intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]], intermediate.[[Day]] + 7 × sign).
    11. Let days be 0.
    12. Let candidateDays be sign.
    13. Set intermediate to BalanceISODate(constrained.[[Year]], constrained.[[Month]], constrained.[[Day]] + 7 × weeks + candidateDays).
    14. Repeat, while ISODateSurpasses(sign, intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]], intermediate.[[Day]], two) is false,
      1. Set days to candidateDays.
      2. Set candidateDays to candidateDays + sign.
      3. Set intermediate to BalanceISODate(intermediate.[[Year]], intermediate.[[Month]], intermediate.[[Day]] + sign).
    15. Return ! CreateDateDurationRecord(years, months, weeks, days).
  2. Return an implementation-defined Date Duration Record as described above.

12.2.8 ToTemporalCalendarIdentifier ( temporalCalendarLike )

The abstract operation ToTemporalCalendarIdentifier takes argument temporalCalendarLike (an ECMAScript value) and returns either a normal completion containing a calendar type or a throw completion. It attempts to derive a calendar type from temporalCalendarLike, and returns that value if found or throws an exception if not. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If temporalCalendarLike is an Object, then
    1. If temporalCalendarLike has an [[InitializedTemporalDate]], [[InitializedTemporalDateTime]], [[InitializedTemporalMonthDay]], [[InitializedTemporalYearMonth]], or [[InitializedTemporalZonedDateTime]] internal slot, then

The abstract operation GetTemporalCalendarIdentifierWithISODefault takes argument item (an Object) and returns either a normal completion containing a calendar type or a throw completion. It looks for a calendar property on the given item and converts its value into a calendar identifier. If no such property is present, the built-in ISO 8601 calendar is returned. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If item has an [[InitializedTemporalDate]], [[InitializedTemporalDateTime]], [[InitializedTemporalMonthDay]], [[InitializedTemporalYearMonth]], or [[InitializedTemporalZonedDateTime]] internal slot, then
    1. Return item.[[Calendar]].

It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Perform ? CalendarResolveFields(calendar, fields, month-day).
  2. Let result be ? CalendarMonthDayToISOReferenceDate(calendar, fields, overflow).
  3. If ISODateWithinLimits(result) is false, throw a RangeError exception.
  4. Return result.

12.2.13 FormatCalendarAnnotation ( id, showCalendar )

The abstract operation FormatCalendarAnnotation takes arguments id (a calendar type) and showCalendar (auto, always, never, or critical) and returns a String. It returns a string with a calendar annotation suitable for concatenating to the end of an ISO 8601 string. Depending on the given id and value of showCalendar, the string may be empty if no calendar annotation need be included. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If showCalendar is never, return the empty String.
  2. If showCalendar is auto and id is "iso8601", return the empty String.
  3. If showCalendar is critical, let flag be "!"; else, let flag be the empty String.

12.2.14 CalendarEquals ( one, two )

The abstract operation CalendarEquals takes arguments one (a calendar type) and two (a calendar type) and returns a Boolean. It returns true if its arguments represent calendars using the same identifier. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If CanonicalizeUValue("ca", one) is CanonicalizeUValue("ca", two), return true.
  2. Return false.

12.2.15 ISODaysInMonth ( year, month )

The abstract operation ISODaysInMonth takes arguments year (an integer) and month (an integer in the inclusive interval from 1 to 12) and returns a positive integer. It returns the number of days in the given year and month in the ISO 8601 calendar. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If month is 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, or 12, return 31.
  2. If month is 4, 6, 9, or 11, return 30.
  3. Assert: month = 2.
  4. Return 28 + MathematicalInLeapYear(EpochTimeForYear(year)).

12.2.16 ISOWeekOfYear ( isoDate )

The abstract operation ISOWeekOfYear takes argument isoDate (an ISO Date Record) and returns a Year-Week Record. It determines where a calendar day falls in the ISO 8601 week calendar and calculates its calendar week of year, which is the 1-based ordinal number of its calendar week within the corresponding week calendar year (which may differ from year by up to 1 in either direction). It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let year be isoDate.[[Year]].
  2. Let wednesday be 3.
  3. Let thursday be 4.
  4. Let friday be 5.
  5. Let saturday be 6.
  6. Let daysInWeek be 7.
  7. Let maxWeekNumber be 53.
  8. Let dayOfYear be ISODayOfYear(isoDate).
  9. Let dayOfWeek be ISODayOfWeek(isoDate).

    5. If dayOfJan1st = saturday, and MathematicalInLeapYear(EpochTimeForYear(year - 1)) = 1, then
      1. Return Year-Week Record { [[Week]]: maxWeekNumber. [[Year]]: year - 1 }.
    6. Return Year-Week Record { [[Week]]: maxWeekNumber - 1, [[Year]]: year - 1 }.
  12. If week = maxWeekNumber, then
    1. Let daysInYear be MathematicalDaysInYear(year).
    2. Let daysLaterInYear be daysInYear - dayOfYear.
    3. Let daysAfterThursday be thursday - dayOfWeek.
    4. If daysLaterInYear < daysAfterThursday, then
      1. Return Year-Week Record { [[Week]]: 1, [[Year]]: year + 1 }.
  13. Return Year-Week Record { [[Week]]: week, [[Year]]: year }.
 Note 1
In the ISO 8601 week calendar, calendar week number 1 of a calendar year is the week including the first Thursday of that year (based on the principle that a week belongs to the same calendar year as the majority of its calendar days), which always includes January 4 and starts on the Monday on or immediately before then. Because of this, some calendar days of the first calendar week of a calendar year may be part of the preceding [proleptic Gregorian] date calendar year, and some calendar days of the last calendar week of a calendar year may be part of the following [proleptic Gregorian] date calendar year. See ISO 8601 for details.
 Note 2
For example, week calendar year 2020 includes both 31 December 2019 (a Tuesday belonging to its calendar week 1) and 1 January 2021 (a Friday belonging to its calendar week 53).

12.2.17 ISODayOfYear ( isoDate )

The abstract operation ISODayOfYear takes argument isoDate (an ISO Date Record) and returns an integer. It returns the ISO 8601 calendar day of year of a calendar day, which is its 1-based ordinal number within its ISO 8601 calendar year. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let epochDays be ISODateToEpochDays(isoDate.[[Year]], isoDate.[[Month]] - 1, isoDate.[[Day]]).
  2. Return EpochTimeToDayInYear(EpochDaysToEpochMs(epochDays, 0)) + 1.

12.2.18 ISODayOfWeek ( isoDate )

The abstract operation ISODayOfWeek takes argument isoDate (an ISO Date Record) and returns an integer. It returns the ISO 8601 calendar day of week of a calendar day, which is its 1-based ordinal position within the sequence of week calendar days that starts with Monday at 1 and ends with Sunday at 7. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let epochDays be ISODateToEpochDays(isoDate.[[Year]], isoDate.[[Month]] - 1, isoDate.[[Day]]).
  2. Let dayOfWeek be EpochTimeToWeekDay(EpochDaysToEpochMs(epochDays, 0)).
  3. If dayOfWeek = 0, return 7.
  4. Return dayOfWeek.

12.2.19 CalendarDateToISO ( calendar, fields, overflow )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarDateToISO takes arguments calendar (a calendar type), fields (a Calendar Fields Record), and overflow (constrain or reject) and returns either a normal completion containing an ISO Date Record or a throw completion. It performs implementation-defined processing to convert fields, which represents either a date or a year and month in the built-in calendar identified by calendar, to a corresponding representative date in the ISO 8601 calendar, subject to overflow correction specified by overflow. For reject, values that do not form a valid date cause an exception to be thrown, as described below. For constrain, values that do not form a valid date are clamped to their respective valid range. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. Assert: fields.[[Year]], fields.[[Month]], and fields.[[Day]] are not unset.
    2. Return ? RegulateISODate(fields.[[Year]], fields.[[Month]], fields.[[Day]], overflow).
  2. Return an implementation-defined ISO Date Record, or throw a RangeError exception, as described below.

Like RegulateISODate, the operation throws a RangeError exception when overflow is reject and the date described by fields does not exist.

Clamping an invalid date to the correct range when overflow is constrain is a behaviour specific to each calendar other than "iso8601", but all calendars follow this guideline:

  • Pick the closest day in the same month. If there are two equally-close dates in that month, pick the later one.
  • If the month is a leap month that doesn't exist in the year, pick another date according to the cultural conventions of that calendar's users. Usually this will result in the same day in the month before or after where that month would normally fall in a leap year.
  • Otherwise, pick the closest date that is still in the same year. If there are two equally-close dates in that year, pick the later one.
  • If the entire year doesn't exist, pick the closest date in a different year. If there are two equally-close dates, pick the later one.

12.2.20 CalendarMonthDayToISOReferenceDate ( calendar, fields, overflow )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarMonthDayToISOReferenceDate takes arguments calendar (a calendar type that is not "iso8601"), fields (a Calendar Fields Record), and overflow (constrain or reject) and returns either a normal completion containing an ISO Date Record or a throw completion. It performs implementation-defined processing to convert fields, which represents a calendar date without a year (i.e., month code and day pair, or equivalent) in the built-in calendar identified by calendar, to a corresponding reference date in the ISO 8601 calendar as described below, subject to overflow correction specified by overflow. For reject, values that do not form a valid date cause an exception to be thrown. For constrain, values that do not form a valid date are clamped to their respective valid range as in CalendarDateToISO. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. Assert: fields.[[Month]] and fields.[[Day]] are not unset.
    2. Let referenceISOYear be 1972 (the first ISO 8601 leap year after the epoch).
    3. If fields.[[Year]] is unset, let year be referenceISOYear; else let year be fields.[[Year]].
    4. Let result be ? RegulateISODate(year, fields.[[Month]], fields.[[Day]], overflow).
    5. Return CreateISODateRecord(referenceISOYear, result.[[Month]], result.[[Day]]).
  2. Return an implementation-defined ISO Date Record, or throw a RangeError exception, as described below.

The fields of the returned ISO Date Record represent a reference date in the ISO 8601 calendar that, when converted to calendar, corresponds to the month code and day of fields in an arbitrary but deterministically chosen reference year. The reference date is the latest ISO 8601 date corresponding to the calendar date, that is also earlier than or equal to the ISO 8601 date December 31, 1972. If that calendar date never occurs on or before the ISO 8601 date December 31, 1972, then the reference date is the earliest ISO 8601 date corresponding to that calendar date. The reference year is almost always 1972 (the first ISO 8601 leap year after the epoch), with exceptions for calendars where some dates (e.g. leap days or days in leap months) didn't occur during that ISO 8601 year. For example, Hebrew calendar leap month Adar I occurred in calendar years 5730 and 5733 (respectively overlapping ISO 8601 February/March 1970 and February/March 1973), but did not occur between them, so the reference year for days of that month is 1970.

Like RegulateISODate, the operation throws a RangeError exception if overflow is reject and the month and day described by fields does not exist (or does not exist within the year described by fields when there is such a year). For example, when calendar is "gregory" and overflow is reject, fields values of { [[MonthCode]]: "M01", [[Day]]: 32 } and { [[Year]]: 2001, [[Month]]: 2, [[Day]]: 29 } would both cause a RangeError to be thrown. In the latter case, even though February 29 is a date in leap years of the Gregorian calendar, 2001 was not a leap year and a month code cannot be determined from the nonexistent date 2001-02-29 with the specified month index.

Also like RegulateISODate, if overflow is constrain and the date or month and day described by fields does not exist (or does not exist within the year described by fields when there is such a year), the values of those fields are clamped to their respective valid range. As in CalendarDateToISO, such clamping is calendar-specific. For example, when calendar is "gregory" and overflow is constrain, a fields value of { [[MonthCode]]: "M02", [[Day]]: 30 } is clamped to { [[Year]]: 1972, [[Month]]: 2, [[Day]]: 29 } (because 29 is the maximum valid day for February) while fields values of { [[Year]]: 2001, [[MonthCode]]: "M02", [[Day]]: 30 } and { [[Era]]: "ce", [[EraYear]]: 2001, [[Month]]: 2, [[Day]]: 30 } (or an equivalent with a supported value for [[Era]] representing the Common Era beginning in ISO 8601 year 1) are clamped to { [[Year]]: 1972, [[Month]]: 2, [[Day]]: 28 } (because 28 is the maximum valid day for February 2001, which did not include a leap day).

The operation throws a RangeError if fields.[[Year]] is not unset and the ISO 8601 year year corresponding to fields.[[Year]] would cause ISODateWithinLimits to return false (i.e., year is not in the inclusive interval from -271,821 to 275,760.) This is so as not to require calculating whether the month and day described in fields exist in years arbitrarily far in the future or past. Note this restriction does not apply when calendar is "iso8601".

12.2.21 CalendarISOToDate ( calendar, isoDate )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarISOToDate takes arguments calendar (a calendar type) and isoDate (an ISO Date Record) and returns a Calendar Date Record. It performs implementation-defined processing to find the the date corresponding to isoDate in the context of the calendar represented by calendar and returns a Calendar Date Record representing that calendar date, with its fields filled in according to their descriptions. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. Let monthNumberPart be ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(isoDate.[[Month]], 2).
    2. Let monthCode be the string-concatenation of "M" and monthNumberPart.
    3. If MathematicalInLeapYear(EpochTimeForYear(isoDate.[[Year]])) = 1, let inLeapYear be true; else let inLeapYear be false.
    4. Return Calendar Date Record { [[Era]]: undefined, [[EraYear]]: undefined, [[Year]]: isoDate.[[Year]], [[Month]]: isoDate.[[Month]], [[MonthCode]]: monthCode, [[Day]]: isoDate.[[Day]], [[DayOfWeek]]: ISODayOfWeek(isoDate), [[DayOfYear]]: ISODayOfYear(isoDate), [[WeekOfYear]]: ISOWeekOfYear(isoDate), [[DaysInWeek]]: 7, [[DaysInMonth]]: ISODaysInMonth(isoDate.[[Year]], isoDate.[[Month]]), [[DaysInYear]]: MathematicalDaysInYear(isoDate.[[Year]]), [[MonthsInYear]]: 12, [[InLeapYear]]: inLeapYear  }.
  2. Return an implementation-defined Calendar Date Record with fields as described in Table 18.
 Note

Implementations are encouraged to elide fields that are not read by the caller.

12.2.22 CalendarExtraFields ( calendar, fields )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarExtraFields takes arguments calendar (a calendar type) and fields (a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19) and returns a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19. It characterizes calendar-specific fields that are relevant for the provided fields in the built-in calendar identified by calendar. For example, « era, era-year » is returned when calendar is "gregory" or "japanese" and fields is a List containing year. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", return an empty List.
  2. Return an implementation-defined List as described above.

12.2.23 CalendarFieldKeysToIgnore ( calendar, keys )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarFieldKeysToIgnore takes arguments calendar (a calendar type) and keys (a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19) and returns a List of values from the Enumeration Key column of Table 19. It determines which calendar date fields changing any of the fields named in keys can potentially conflict with or invalidate, for the given calendar. A field always invalidates at least itself. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. Let ignoredKeys be an empty List.
    2. For each element key of keys, do
      1. Append key to ignoredKeys.
      2. If key is month, append month-code to ignoredKeys.
      3. Else if key is month-code, append month to ignoredKeys.
    3. NOTE: While ignoredKeys can have duplicate elements, this is not intended to be meaningful. This specification only checks whether particular keys are or are not members of the list.
    4. Return ignoredKeys.
  2. Return an implementation-defined List as described below.

This operation is relevant for calendars which accept fields other than the standard set of ISO 8601 calendar fields, in order to implement the Temporal objects' with() methods in such a way that the result is free of ambiguity or conflicts.

For example, given a calendar that uses eras, such as "gregory", a key in keys being any one of year, era, or era-year would exclude all three. Passing any one of the three to a with() method might conflict with either of the other two properties on the receiver object, so those properties of the receiver object should be ignored. Given this, in addition to the ISO 8601 mutual exclusion of month and month-code as above, a possible implementation might produce the following results when calendar is "gregory":

Table 20: Example results of CalendarFieldKeysToIgnore
keys Returned List
« era » « era, era-year, year »
« era-year » « era, era-year, year »
« year » « era, era-year, year »
« month » « month, month-code »
« month-code » « month, month-code »
« day » « day »
« year, month, day » « era, era-year, year, month, month-code, day »
Note
In a calendar such as "japanese" where eras do not start and end at year and/or month boundaries, note that the returned List should contain era and era-year if keys contains day, month, or month-code (not only if it contains era, era-year, or year, as in the example above) because it's possible for changing the day or month to cause a conflict with the era.

12.2.24 CalendarResolveFields ( calendar, fields, type )

The implementation-defined abstract operation CalendarResolveFields takes arguments calendar (a calendar type), fields (a Calendar Fields Record), and type (date, year-month, or month-day) and returns either a normal completion containing unused or a throw completion. It performs implementation-defined processing to validate that fields (which describes a date or partial date in the built-in calendar identified by calendar) is sufficiently complete to satisfy type and not internally inconsistent, and mutates fields into acceptable input for CalendarDateToISO ( calendar, fields, overflow ) or CalendarMonthDayToISOReferenceDate ( calendar, fields, overflow ) by merging data that can be represented in multiple forms into standard fields and removing redundant fields (for example, merging [[Month]] and [[MonthCode]] into [[Month]] and merging [[Era]] and [[EraYear]] into [[Year]]). It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If calendar is "iso8601", then
    1. If type is date or year-month and fields.[[Year]] is unset, throw a TypeError exception.
    2. If type is date or month-day and fields.[[Day]] is unset, throw a TypeError exception.
    3. Let month be fields.[[Month]].
    4. Let monthCode be fields.[[MonthCode]].
    5. If monthCode is unset, then
      1. If month is unset, throw a TypeError exception.
      2. Return unused.
    6. Assert: monthCode is a String.
    7. NOTE: The ISO 8601 calendar does not include leap months.
    8. If the length of monthCode is not 3, throw a RangeError exception.
    9. If the first code unit of monthCode is not 0x004D (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M), throw a RangeError exception.
    10. Let monthCodeDigits be the substring of monthCode from 1.
    11. If ParseText(StringToCodePoints(monthCodeDigits), DateMonth) is a List of errors, throw a RangeError exception.
    12. Let monthCodeInteger be ℝ(StringToNumber(monthCodeDigits)).
    13. If month is not unset and month ≠ monthCodeInteger, throw a RangeError exception.
    14. Set fields.[[Month]] to monthCodeInteger.
  2. Else,
    1. Perform implementation-defined processing to mutate fields, or throw a TypeError or RangeError exception, as described below.
  3. Return unused.

The operation throws a TypeError exception if the non-unset fields of fields are insufficient to identify a unique instance of type in the calendar (e.g., when at least one field in each combination capable of determining some part of its data is unset) or a RangeError exception if the fields are sufficient but their values are internally inconsistent within the calendar (e.g., when fields such as [[Month]] and [[MonthCode]] have conflicting non-unset values). For example:

  • If type is date or month-day and "day" in the calendar has an interpretation similar to ISO 8601 and fields.[[Day]] is unset.
  • If "month" in the calendar has an interpretation similar to ISO 8601 and either fields.[[Month]] and fields.[[MonthCode]] are both unset or neither value is unset but they do not identify the same month.
  • If type is month-day and fields.[[MonthCode]] is unset and a specific year cannot be determined from fields.
  • If the calendar supports the usual partitioning of years into eras with their own year counting as represented by "year", "era", and "era year" (as in the Gregorian or traditional Japanese calendars) and any of the following cases apply:
    • type is date or year-month and each of fields.[[Year]], fields.[[Era]], and fields.[[EraYear]] is unset.
    • fields.[[Era]] is unset but fields.[[EraYear]] is not.
    • fields.[[EraYear]] is unset but fields.[[Era]] is not.
    • None of the three values are unset but fields.[[Era]] and fields.[[EraYear]] do not together identify the same year as fields.[[Year]].
Note 1
In some cases, verifying the internal consistency of two fields requires the data from other fields, such as checking fields.[[MonthCode]] "M06" against fields.[[Month]] 7 in the Hebrew calendar (which are consistent if and only if fields identifies a year that includes leap month Adar I).
Note 2

When the fields of fields are inconsistent with respect to a non-unset fields.[[Era]], it is recommended that fields.[[Era]] and fields.[[EraYear]] be updated to resolve the inconsistency by lenient interpretation of out-of-bounds values (rather than throwing a RangeError), which is particularly useful for consistent interpretation of dates in calendars with regnal eras.

  • In the Gregorian calendar, a zero or negative fields.[[EraYear]] should be replaced with a positive [[EraYear]] corresponding with extension of the era into its complement and fields.[[Era]] should be updating accordingly (such that Common Era [[EraYear]] 0 is updated to Before Common Era [[EraYear]] 1, Before Common Era [[EraYear]] -1 is updated to Common Era [[EraYear]] 2, etc.).
  • In the Japanese calendar, when fields.[[Era]] is not unset and the date represented by fields is not within the bounds of that era, fields.[[Era]] should be updated to the appropriate containing era for that date (for example, because the transition from Heisei era [[EraYear]] 31 to Reiwa era [[EraYear]] 1 took place on May 1 of [[Year]] 2019, Heisei era [[EraYear]] 32 should be updated to Reiwa era [[EraYear]] 2, Reiwa era [[EraYear]] 1 [[Month]] 1 should be updated to Heisei era [[EraYear]] 31 [[Month]] 1, etc.).
 Note 3
When type is month-day and fields.[[Month]] is not unset, it is recommended that all built-in calendars other than the ISO 8601 calendar require a disambiguating year (e.g., either fields.[[Year]] or fields.[[Era]] and fields.[[EraYear]]) to avoid a TypeError, regardless of whether or not fields.[[MonthCode]] is also unset. The ISO 8601 calendar allows fields.[[Year]] to be unset in this case because it is a special default calendar that is permanently stable for automated processing.

13 Abstract Operations

13.1 ISODateToEpochDays ( year, month, date )

The abstract operation ISODateToEpochDays takes arguments year (an integer), month (an integer), and date (an integer) and returns an integer. It calculates a number of days. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let resolvedYear be year + floor(month / 12).
  2. Let resolvedMonth be month modulo 12.
  3. Find a time t such that EpochTimeToEpochYear(t) = resolvedYear, EpochTimeToMonthInYear(t) = resolvedMonth, and EpochTimeToDate(t) = 1.
  4. Return EpochTimeToDayNumber(t) + date - 1.
 Editor's Note
This operation corresponds to ECMA-262 operation MakeDay(year, month, date). It calculates the result in mathematical values instead of Number values. These two operations would be unified when https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/1087 is fixed.

13.2 EpochDaysToEpochMs ( day, time )

The abstract operation EpochDaysToEpochMs takes arguments day (an integer) and time (an integer) and returns an integer. It calculates a number of milliseconds. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Return day × ℝ(msPerDay) + time.
 Editor's Note
This operation corresponds to ECMA-262 operation MakeDate(date, time). It calculates the result in mathematical values instead of Number values. These two operations would be unified when https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/1087 is fixed.

13.3 Date Equations

A given time t belongs to day number

EpochTimeToDayNumber(t) = floor(t / ℝ(msPerDay))

Number of days in year are given by:

MathematicalDaysInYear(y)
= 365 if ((y) modulo 4) ≠ 0
= 366 if ((y) modulo 4) = 0 and ((y) modulo 100) ≠ 0
= 365 if ((y) modulo 100) = 0 and ((y) modulo 400) ≠ 0
= 366 if ((y) modulo 400) = 0

The day number of the first day of year y is given by:

EpochDayNumberForYear(y) = 365 × (y - 1970) + floor((y - 1969) / 4) - floor((y - 1901) / 100) + floor((y - 1601) / 400)

The time of the start of a year is:

EpochTimeForYear(y) = ℝ(msPerDay) × EpochDayNumberForYear(y)

Epoch year from time t is given by:

EpochTimeToEpochYear(t) = the largest integral Number y (closest to +∞) such that EpochTimeForYear(y) ≤ t

The following function returns 1 for a time within leap year otherwise it returns 0:

MathematicalInLeapYear(t)

The month number for a time t is given by:

EpochTimeToMonthInYear(t)
= 0 if 0 ≤ EpochTimeToDayInYear(t) < 31
= 1 if 31 ≤ EpochTimeToDayInYear(t) < 59 + MathematicalInLeapYear(t)

where

A month value of 0 specifies January; 1 specifies February; 2 specifies March; 3 specifies April; 4 specifies May; 5 specifies June; 6 specifies July; 7 specifies August; 8 specifies September; 9 specifies October; 10 specifies November; and 11 specifies December. Note that EpochTimeToMonthInYear(0) = 0, corresponding to Thursday, 1 January 1970.

The date number for a time t is given by:

EpochTimeToDate(t)

The weekday for a particular time t is defined as:

EpochTimeToWeekDay(t) =(EpochTimeToDayNumber(t) + 4) modulo 7

A weekday value of 0 specifies Sunday; 1 specifies Monday; 2 specifies Tuesday; 3 specifies Wednesday; 4 specifies Thursday; 5 specifies Friday; and 6 specifies Saturday. Note that EpochTimeToWeekDay(0) = 4, corresponding to Thursday, 1 January 1970.

Editor's Note
These equations correspond to ECMA-262 equations defined in Days in Year, Month from Time, Date from Time, Week Day respectively. These calculate the result in mathematical values instead of Number values. These equations would be unified when https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/1087 is fixed.
 Editor's Note
Note that the operation EpochTimeToMonthInYear(t) uses 0-based months unlike rest of Temporal since it's intended to be unified with MonthFromTime(t) when the above mentioned issue is fixed.

13.4 CheckISODaysRange ( isoDate )

The abstract operation CheckISODaysRange takes argument isoDate (an ISO Date Record) and returns either a normal completion containing unused or a throw completion. It checks that the given date is within the range of 108 days from the epoch. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If abs(ISODateToEpochDays(isoDate.[[Year]], isoDate.[[Month]] - 1, isoDate.[[Day]])) > 108, then
    1. Throw a RangeError exception.
  2. Return unused.
 Editor's Note
This operation is solely present to ensure that GetUTCEpochNanoseconds is not called with numbers that are too large. It is distinct from ISODateWithinLimits, which uses GetUTCEpochNanoseconds. This operation can be removed with no observable effect when https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/1087 is fixed.

13.5 Units

Time is reckoned using multiple units. These units are listed in Table 21.

A Temporal unit is a value listed in the "Value" column of Table 21. A calendar unit is a Temporal unit for which IsCalendarUnit returns true. A date unit is a Temporal unit for which the corresponding "Category" value in Table 21 is date, and a time unit is a Temporal unit for which the corresponding "Category" value is time.

Table 21: Temporal units by descending magnitude
Value Singular property name Plural property name Category Length in nanoseconds Maximum duration rounding increment
year "year" "years" date calendar-dependent unset
month "month" "months" date calendar-dependent unset
week "week" "weeks" date calendar-dependent unset
day "day" "days" date nsPerDay unset
hour "hour" "hours" time 3.6 × 1012 24
minute "minute" "minutes" time 6 × 1010 60
second "second" "seconds" time 109 60
millisecond "millisecond" "milliseconds" time 106 1000
microsecond "microsecond" "microseconds" time 103 1000
nanosecond "nanosecond" "nanoseconds" time 1 1000
Note
The length of a day is given as nsPerDay in the table. Note that changes in the UTC offset of a time zone may result in longer or shorter days, so care should be taken when using this value in the context of Temporal.ZonedDateTime.

The abstract operation GetTemporalRelativeToOption takes argument options (an Object) and returns either a normal completion containing a Record with fields [[PlainRelativeTo]] (a Temporal.PlainDate or undefined) and [[ZonedRelativeTo]] (a Temporal.ZonedDateTime or undefined), or a throw completion. It examines the value of the relativeTo property of its options argument. If the value is undefined, both the [[PlainRelativeTo]] and [[ZonedRelativeTo]] fields of the returned Record are undefined. If the value is not a String or an Object, it throws a TypeError. Otherwise, it attempts to return a Temporal.ZonedDateTime instance in the [[ZonedRelativeTo]] field, or a Temporal.PlainDate instance in the [[PlainRelativeTo]] field, in order of preference, by converting the value. If neither of those are possible, it throws a RangeError. It performs the following steps when called:

    6. Let result be ? InterpretTemporalDateTimeFields(calendar, fields, constrain).
    7. Let timeZone be fields.[[TimeZone]].
    8. Let offsetString be fields.[[Offset]].
    9. If offsetString is unset, then
      1. Set offsetBehaviour to wall.
    10. Let isoDate be result.[[ISODate]].
    11. Let time be result.[[Time]].
  6. Else,
    1. If value is not a String, throw a TypeError exception.
    2. Let result be ? ParseISODateTime(value, « TemporalDateTimeString[+Zoned], TemporalDateTimeString[~Zoned] »).
    3. Let offsetString be result.[[TimeZone]].[[OffsetString]].
    4. Let annotation be result.[[TimeZone]].[[TimeZoneAnnotation]].
    5. If annotation is empty, then
      1. Let timeZone be unset.
    6. Else,
      1. Let timeZone be ? ToTemporalTimeZoneIdentifier(annotation).
      2. If result.[[TimeZone]].[[Z]] is true, then
        1. Set offsetBehaviour to exact.
      3. Else if offsetString is empty, then
        1. Set offsetBehaviour to wall.
      4. Set matchBehaviour to match-minutes.
    7. Let calendar be result.[[Calendar]].
    8. If calendar is empty, set calendar to "iso8601".
    9. Set calendar to ? CanonicalizeCalendar(calendar).
    10. Let isoDate be CreateISODateRecord(result.[[Year]], result.[[Month]], result.[[Day]]).
    11. Let time be result.[[Time]].
  7. If timeZone is unset, then
    1. Let plainDate be ? CreateTemporalDate(isoDate, calendar).
    2. Return the Record { [[PlainRelativeTo]]: plainDate, [[ZonedRelativeTo]]: undefined }.
  8. If offsetBehaviour is option, then
    1. Let offsetNs be ! ParseDateTimeUTCOffset(offsetString).

13.30 ISO 8601 grammar

Several operations in this section are intended to parse ISO 8601 strings representing a date, a time, a duration, or a combined date and time. For the purposes of these operations, a valid ISO 8601 string is defined as a string that can be generated by one of the goal elements of the following grammar.

This grammar is adapted from the ABNF grammar of ISO 8601 that is given in appendix A of RFC 3339, augmented with the grammar of annotations in section 3.1 of Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps with additional information

The grammar deviates from the standard given in ISO 8601 in the following ways:

  • Only the calendar date format is supported, not the weekdate or ordinal date format.
  • Two-digit years are disallowed.
  • Expanded Years of 6 digits are allowed.
  • Fractional parts may have 1 through 9 decimal places.
  • In time representations, only seconds are allowed to have a fractional part.
  • In duration representations, only hours, minutes, and seconds are allowed to have a fractional part.
  • Any number of conforming suffixes in square brackets are allowed. However, the only recognized suffixes are time zone and BCP 47 calendar. Others are ignored, unless they are prefixed with !, in which case they are rejected. Note that the suffix keys, although they look similar, are not the same as keys in RFC 6067. In particular, keys are lowercase-only.
  • A space may be used to separate the date and time in a combined date / time representation, but not in a duration (e.g., "1970-01-01 00:00Z" is valid but "P1D 1H" is not).
  • Alphabetic designators may be in lower or upper case (e.g., "1970-01-01t00:00Z" and "1970-01-01T00:00z" and "pT1m" are valid).
  • Period or comma may be used as the decimal separator (e.g., "PT1,00H" is a valid representation of a 1-hour duration).
  • UTC offsets of "-00:00" and "-0000" and "-00" are allowed, and all mean the same thing as "+00:00".
  • UTC offsets may have seconds and up to 9 sub-second fractional digits (e.g., "1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00:00.123456789" is valid).
  • The constituent date, time, and UTC offset parts of a combined representation may each independently use basic format (with no separator symbols) or extended format (with mandatory - or : separators), as long as each such part is itself in either basic format or extended format (e.g., "1970-01-01T012345" and "19700101T01:23:45" are valid but "1970-0101T012345" and "1970-01-01T0123:45" are not).
  • When parsing a date representation for a Temporal.PlainMonthDay, the year may be omitted. The year may optionally be replaced by -- as in RFC 3339 Appendix A.
  • When parsing a date representation without a day for a Temporal.PlainYearMonth, the expression is allowed to be in basic format (with no separator symbols).
  • A duration specifier of "W" (weeks) can be combined with any of the other specifiers (e.g., "P1M1W1D" is valid).
  • Anything else described by the standard as requiring mutual agreement between communicating parties, is disallowed.

14 Amendments to the ECMAScript® 2023 Language Specification

Editor's Note

This section lists amendments which must be made to ECMA-262, the ECMAScript® 2023 Language Specification, other than the addition of the new sections specifying the Temporal object and everything related to it. Text to be added is marked like this, and text to be deleted is marked like this. Blocks of unmodified text between modified sections are marked by [...].

14.1 The String Type

Editor's Note

This section intends to move the definitions of ASCII-uppercase, ASCII-lowercase, and ASCII-case-insensitive match from ECMA-402 into ECMA-262, after the definition of the ASCII word characters.

[...]

The ASCII-uppercase of a String S is the String derived from S by replacing each occurrence of an ASCII lowercase letter code unit (0x0061 through 0x007A, inclusive) with the corresponding ASCII uppercase letter code unit (0x0041 through 0x005A, inclusive) while preserving all other code units.

The ASCII-lowercase of a String S is the String derived from S by replacing each occurrence of an ASCII uppercase letter code unit (0x0041 through 0x005A, inclusive) with the corresponding ASCII lowercase letter code unit (0x0061 through 0x007A, inclusive) while preserving all other code units.

A String A is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for a String B if the ASCII-lowercase of A is the ASCII-lowercase of B.

14.2 The Year-Week Record Specification Type

The Year-Week Record specification type is returned by the week number calculation in ISOWeekOfYear, and the corresponding calculations for other calendars if applicable. It comprises a calendar week of year with the corresponding week calendar year.

Year-Week Records have the fields listed in table Table 25.

Table 25: Year-Week Record Fields
Field Name Value Meaning
[[Week]] a positive integer or undefined The calendar week of year.
[[Year]] an integer or undefined The week calendar year.

14.3 Mathematical Operations

[...]

The notation “x modulo y” (y must be finite and non-zero) computes a value k of the same sign as y (or zero) such that abs(k) < abs(y) and x - k = q × y for some integer q.

The mathematical function remainder(x, y) produces the mathematical value whose sign is the sign of x and whose magnitude is abs(x) modulo y.

[...]

Mathematical functions min, max, abs, remainder, floor, and truncate are not defined for Numbers and BigInts, and any usage of those methods that have non-mathematical value arguments would be an editorial error in this specification.

14.4 Abstract Operations

[...]

14.4.1 Operations for Reading Options

14.4.1.1 GetOptionsObject ( options )

The abstract operation GetOptionsObject takes argument options (an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing an Object or a throw completion. It returns an Object suitable for use with GetOption, either options itself or a default empty Object. It throws a TypeError if options is not undefined and not an Object. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If options is undefined, then
    1. Return OrdinaryObjectCreate(null).
  2. If options is an Object, then
    1. Return options.
  3. Throw a TypeError exception.

14.4.1.2 GetOption ( options, property, type, values, default )

The abstract operation GetOption takes arguments options (an Object), property (a property key), type (boolean or string), values (empty or a List of ECMAScript language values), and default (required or an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing an ECMAScript language value or a throw completion. It extracts the value of the specified property of options, converts it to the required type, checks whether it is allowed by values if values is not empty, and substitutes default if the value is undefined. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let value be ? Get(options, property).
  2. If value is undefined, then
    1. If default is required, throw a RangeError exception.

  1. Let allowedStrings be the List of Strings from the "String Identifier" column of Table 26.
  2. Let stringFallback be the value from the "String Identifier" column of the row with fallback in its "Rounding Mode" column.
  3. Let stringValue be ? GetOption(options, "roundingMode", string, allowedStrings, stringFallback).
  4. Return the value from the "Rounding Mode" column of the row with stringValue in its "String Identifier" column.

A rounding mode is one of the values in the "Rounding Mode" column of Table 26. An unsigned rounding mode is one of the values in the "Unsigned Rounding Mode" column of Table 22.

Editor's Note

The following table is taken from ECMA-402 (Table 27) but with the addition of specification values.
Table 26: Rounding modes
Rounding Mode String Identifier Description Examples: Round to 0 fraction digits
-1.5 0.4 0.5 0.6 1.5
ceil "ceil" Toward positive infinity ⬆️ [-1] ⬆️ [1] ⬆️ [1] ⬆️ [1] ⬆️ [2]
floor "floor" Toward negative infinity ⬇️ [-2] ⬇️ [0] ⬇️ [0] ⬇️ [0] ⬇️ [1]

14.5 Overview of Date Objects and Definitions of Abstract Operations

[...]

14.5.1 GetUTCEpochNanoseconds ( year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond, isoDateTime )

The abstract operation GetUTCEpochNanoseconds takes arguments year (an integer), month (an integer in the inclusive interval from 1 to 12), day (an integer in the inclusive interval from 1 to 31), hour (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 23), minute (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 59), second (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 59), millisecond (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999), microsecond (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999), nanosecond (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999), and isoDateTime (an ISO Date-Time Record) and returns a BigInt. The returned value represents a number of nanoseconds since the epoch that corresponds to the given ISO 8601 calendar date and wall-clock time in UTC. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let date be MakeDay(𝔽(yearisoDateTime.[[ISODate]].[[Year]]), 𝔽(monthisoDateTime.[[ISODate]].[[Month]] - 1), 𝔽(dayisoDateTime.[[ISODate]].[[Day]])).
  2. Let time be MakeTime(𝔽(hourisoDateTime.[[Time]].[[Hour]]), 𝔽(minuteisoDateTime.[[Time]].[[Minute]]), 𝔽(secondisoDateTime.[[Time]].[[Second]]), 𝔽(millisecondisoDateTime.[[Time]].[[Millisecond]])).
  3. Let ms be MakeDate(date, time).
  4. Assert: ms is an integral Number.
  5. Return ℤ(ℝ(ms) × 106 + microsecondisoDateTime.[[Time]].[[Microsecond]] × 103 + nanosecondisoDateTime.[[Time]].[[Nanosecond]]).

14.5.2 Time Zone Identifiers

Time zones in ECMAScript are represented by time zone identifiers, which are Strings composed entirely of code units in the inclusive interval from 0x0000 to 0x007F0x0021 to 0x007E. Time zones supported by an ECMAScript implementation may be available named time zones, represented by the [[Identifier]] field of the Time Zone Identifier Records returned by AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers, or offset time zones, represented by Strings for which IsTimeZoneOffsetStringIsOffsetTimeZoneIdentifier returns true.

A primary time zone identifier is the preferred identifier for an available named time zone. A non-primary time zone identifier is an identifier for an available named time zone that is not a primary time zone identifier. An available named time zone identifier is either a primary time zone identifier or a non-primary time zone identifier. Each available named time zone identifier is associated with exactly one available named time zone. Each available named time zone is associated with exactly one primary time zone identifier and zero or more non-primary time zone identifiers.

An available time zone identifier is either an available named time zone identifier or an offset time zone identifier.

Time zone identifiers are compared using ASCII-case-insensitive comparisons, and are accepted as input in any variation of letter case. Offset time zone identifiers are compared using the number of minutes represented (not as a String), and are accepted as input in any the formats specified by UTCOffset[~SubMinutePrecision]. However, ECMAScript built-in objects will only output the normalized format of a time zone identifier. The normalized format of an available named time zone identifier is the preferred letter case for that identifier. The normalized format of an offset time zone identifier is specified by NormalizedUTCOffset and produced by FormatOffsetTimeZoneIdentifier with style either not present or set to separated.

ECMAScript implementations must support an available named time zone with the identifier "UTC", which must be the primary time zone identifier for the UTC time zone. In addition, implementations may support any number of other available named time zones.

Implementations that follow the requirements for time zones as described in the ECMA-402 Internationalization API specification are called time zone aware. Time zone aware implementations must support available named time zones corresponding to the Zone and Link names of the IANA Time Zone Database, and only such names. In time zone aware implementations, a primary time zone identifier is a Zone name, and a non-primary time zone identifier is a Link name, respectively, in the IANA Time Zone Database except as specifically overridden by AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers as specified in the ECMA-402 specification. Implementations that do not support the entire IANA Time Zone Database are still recommended to use IANA Time Zone Database names as identifiers to represent time zones.

14.5.3 GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds ( timeZoneIdentifier, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond, isoDateTime )

The implementation-defined abstract operation GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds takes arguments timeZoneIdentifier (a String), year (an integer), month (an integer in the inclusive interval from 1 to 12), day (an integer in the inclusive interval from 1 to 31), hour (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 23), minute (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 59), second (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 59), millisecond (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999), microsecond (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999), nanosecond (an integer in the inclusive interval from 0 to 999), and isoDateTime (an ISO Date-Time Record) and returns a List of BigInts. Each value in the returned List represents a number of nanoseconds since the epoch that corresponds to the given ISO 8601 calendar date and wall-clock time in the named time zone identified by timeZoneIdentifier.

When the input represents a local time occurring more than once because of a negative time zone transition (e.g. when daylight saving time ends or the time zone offset is decreased due to a time zone rule change), the returned List will have more than one element and will be sorted by ascending numerical value. When the input represents a local time skipped because of a positive time zone transition (e.g. when daylight saving time begins or the time zone offset is increased due to a time zone rule change), the returned List will be empty. Otherwise, the returned List will have one element.

The default implementation of GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds, to be used for ECMAScript implementations that do not include local political rules for any time zones, performs the following steps when called:

  1. Assert: timeZoneIdentifier is "UTC".
  2. Let epochNanoseconds be GetUTCEpochNanoseconds(year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond, nanosecondisoDateTime).
  3. Return « epochNanoseconds ».

It is required for time zone aware implementations (and recommended for all others) to use the time zone information of the IANA Time Zone Database https://www.iana.org/time-zones/.

1:30 AM on 5 November 2017 in America/New_York is repeated twice, so GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds("America/New_York", 2017, 11, 5, 1, 30, 0, 0, 0, 0) for that time zone and ISO date-time would return a List of length 2 in which the first element represents 05:30 UTC (corresponding with 01:30 US Eastern Daylight Time at UTC offset -04:00) and the second element represents 06:30 UTC (corresponding with 01:30 US Eastern Standard Time at UTC offset -05:00).

2:30 AM on 12 March 2017 in America/New_York does not exist, so GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds("America/New_York", 2017, 3, 12, 2, 30, 0, 0, 0, 0) for that time zone and ISO date-time would return an empty List.

14.5.4 SystemTimeZoneIdentifier ( )

The implementation-defined abstract operation SystemTimeZoneIdentifier takes no arguments and returns an available time zone identifier. It returns a String representing the host environment's current time zone, which is either a String representing a UTC offset for which IsTimeZoneOffsetString returns true, or a primary time zone identifiera primary time zone identifier or an offset time zone identifier. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If the implementation only supports the UTC time zone, return "UTC".
  2. Let systemTimeZoneString be the String representing the host environment's current time zone as a time zone identifier in normalized format, either a primary time zone identifier or an offset time zone identifier.
  3. Return systemTimeZoneString.
 Note

To ensure the level of functionality that implementations commonly provide in the methods of the Date object, it is recommended that SystemTimeZoneIdentifier return an IANA time zone name corresponding to the host environment's time zone setting, if such a thing exists. GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds and GetNamedTimeZoneOffsetNanoseconds must reflect the local political rules for standard time and daylight saving time in that time zone, if such rules exist.

For example, if the host environment is a browser on a system where the user has chosen US Eastern Time as their time zone, SystemTimeZoneIdentifier returns "America/New_York".

14.5.5 Time Zone Offset String FormatFormats

ECMAScript defines a string interchange format for UTC offsets, derived from ISO 8601. The format is described by the following grammar.

ECMAScript defines string interchange formats for UTC offsets, derived from ISO 8601. UTC offsets that represent offset time zone identifiers, or that are intended for interoperability with ISO 8601, use only hours and minutes and are specified by UTCOffset[~SubMinutePrecision]. UTC offsets that represent the offset of a named time zone can be more precise, and are specified by UTCOffset[+SubMinutePrecision].

These formats are described by the ISO String grammar in 13.30.

[...]

Editor's Note
The grammar in this section should be deleted; it is replaced by the ISO 8601 String grammar in 13.30.

14.5.6 LocalTime ( t )

The abstract operation LocalTime takes argument t (a finite time value) and returns an integral Number. It converts t from UTC to local time. The local political rules for standard time and daylight saving time in effect at t should be used to determine the result in the way specified in this section. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let systemTimeZoneIdentifier be SystemTimeZoneIdentifier().
  2. Let parseResult be ! ParseTimeZoneIdentifier(systemTimeZoneIdentifier).
  3. If IsTimeZoneOffsetString(systemTimeZoneIdentifier) is trueparseResult.[[OffsetMinutes]] is not empty, then
    1. Let offsetNs be ParseTimeZoneOffsetString(systemTimeZoneIdentifier)parseResult.[[OffsetMinutes]] × (60 × 109).
  4. Else,
    1. Let offsetNs be GetNamedTimeZoneOffsetNanoseconds(systemTimeZoneIdentifier, ℤ(ℝ(t) × 106)).
  5. Let offsetMs be truncate(offsetNs / 106).
  6. Return t + 𝔽(offsetMs).
 Note 1

If political rules for the local time t are not available within the implementation, the result is t because SystemTimeZoneIdentifier returns "UTC" and GetNamedTimeZoneOffsetNanoseconds returns 0.

 Note 2

It is required for time zone aware implementations (and recommended for all others) to use the time zone information of the IANA Time Zone Database https://www.iana.org/time-zones/.

 Note 3

Two different input time values tUTC are converted to the same local time tlocal at a negative time zone transition when there are repeated times (e.g. the daylight saving time ends or the time zone adjustment is decreased.).

LocalTime(UTC(tlocal)) is not necessarily always equal to tlocal. Correspondingly, UTC(LocalTime(tUTC)) is not necessarily always equal to tUTC.

14.5.7 UTC ( t )

The abstract operation UTC takes argument t (a Number) and returns a time value. It converts t from local time to a UTC time value. The local political rules for standard time and daylight saving time in effect at t should be used to determine the result in the way specified in this section. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If t is not finite, return NaN.
  2. Let systemTimeZoneIdentifier be SystemTimeZoneIdentifier().
  3. Let parseResult be ! ParseTimeZoneIdentifier(systemTimeZoneIdentifier).
  4. If IsTimeZoneOffsetString(systemTimeZoneIdentifier) is trueparseResult.[[OffsetMinutes]] is not empty, then
    1. Let offsetNs be ParseTimeZoneOffsetString(systemTimeZoneIdentifier)parseResult.[[OffsetMinutes]] × (60 × 109).
  5. Else,
    1. Let isoDateTime be TimeValueToISODateTimeRecord(t).
    2. Let possibleInstants be GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds(systemTimeZoneIdentifier, ℝ(YearFromTime(t)), ℝ(MonthFromTime(t)) + 1, ℝ(DateFromTime(t)), ℝ(HourFromTime(t)), ℝ(MinFromTime(t)), ℝ(SecFromTime(t)), ℝ(msFromTime(t)), 0, 0isoDateTime).
    3. NOTE: The following steps ensure that when t represents local time repeating multiple times at a negative time zone transition (e.g. when the daylight saving time ends or the time zone offset is decreased due to a time zone rule change) or skipped local time at a positive time zone transition (e.g. when the daylight saving time starts or the time zone offset is increased due to a time zone rule change), t is interpreted using the time zone offset before the transition.
    4. If possibleInstants is not empty, then
      1. Let disambiguatedInstant be possibleInstants[0].
    5. Else,
      1. NOTE: t represents a local time skipped at a positive time zone transition (e.g. due to daylight saving time starting or a time zone rule change increasing the UTC offset).
      2. Let possibleInstantsBefore be GetNamedTimeZoneEpochNanoseconds(systemTimeZoneIdentifier, ℝ(YearFromTime(tBefore)), ℝ(MonthFromTime(tBefore)) + 1, ℝ(DateFromTime(tBefore)), ℝ(HourFromTime(tBefore)), ℝ(MinFromTime(tBefore)), ℝ(SecFromTime(tBefore)), ℝ(msFromTime(tBefore)), 0, 0TimeValueToISODateTimeRecord(tBefore)), where tBefore is the largest integral Number < t for which possibleInstantsBefore is not empty (i.e., tBefore represents the last local time before the transition).
      3. Let disambiguatedInstant be the last element of possibleInstantsBefore.
    6. Let offsetNs be GetNamedTimeZoneOffsetNanoseconds(systemTimeZoneIdentifier, disambiguatedInstant).
  6. Let offsetMs be truncate(offsetNs / 106).
  7. Return t - 𝔽(offsetMs).

Input t is nominally a time value but may be any Number value. The algorithm must not limit t to the time value range, so that inputs corresponding with a boundary of the time value range can be supported regardless of local UTC offset. For example, the maximum time value is 8.64 × 1015, corresponding with "+275760-09-13T00:00:00Z". In an environment where the local time zone offset is ahead of UTC by 1 hour at that instant, it is represented by the larger input of 8.64 × 1015 + 3.6 × 106, corresponding with "+275760-09-13T01:00:00+01:00".

If political rules for the local time t are not available within the implementation, the result is t because SystemTimeZoneIdentifier returns "UTC" and GetNamedTimeZoneOffsetNanoseconds returns 0.

Note 1

It is required for time zone aware implementations (and recommended for all others) to use the time zone information of the IANA Time Zone Database https://www.iana.org/time-zones/.

1:30 AM on 5 November 2017 in America/New_York is repeated twice (fall backward), but it must be interpreted as 1:30 AM UTC-04 instead of 1:30 AM UTC-05. In UTC(TimeClip(MakeDate(MakeDay(2017, 10, 5), MakeTime(1, 30, 0, 0)))), the value of offsetMs is -4 × msPerHour.

2:30 AM on 12 March 2017 in America/New_York does not exist, but it must be interpreted as 2:30 AM UTC-05 (equivalent to 3:30 AM UTC-04). In UTC(TimeClip(MakeDate(MakeDay(2017, 2, 12), MakeTime(2, 30, 0, 0)))), the value of offsetMs is -5 × msPerHour.

Note 2

UTC(LocalTime(tUTC)) is not necessarily always equal to tUTC. Correspondingly, LocalTime(UTC(tlocal)) is not necessarily always equal to tlocal.

  3. Let second be ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(ℝ(SecFromTime(tv)), 2).
  4. Let timeString be FormatTimeString(ℝ(HourFromTime(tv)), ℝ(MinFromTime(tv)), ℝ(SecFromTime(tv)), 0, 0).

[...]

    1. Let offsetNs be ParseTimeZoneOffsetString(systemTimeZoneIdentifier).
  3. Else,
  4. Let offsetMinutes be ! ParseTimeZoneIdentifier(systemTimeZoneIdentifier).[[OffsetMinutes]].

  6. Let offset be 𝔽(truncate(offsetNs / 106)).
  7. If offset is +0𝔽 or offset > +0𝔽, then
    1. Let offsetSign be "+".
    2. Let absOffset be offset.
  8. Else,
    1. Let offsetSign be "-".
    2. Let absOffset be -offset.
  9. Let offsetMin be ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(ℝ(MinFromTime(absOffset)), 2).
  10. Let offsetHour be ToZeroPaddedDecimalString(ℝ(HourFromTime(absOffset)), 2).
  11. Let offsetString be FormatOffsetTimeZoneIdentifier(offsetMinutes, unseparated).
  12. Let tzName be an implementation-defined string that is either the empty String or the string-concatenation of the code unit 0x0020 (SPACE), the code unit 0x0028 (LEFT PARENTHESIS), an implementation-defined timezone name, and the code unit 0x0029 (RIGHT PARENTHESIS).
  13. Return the string-concatenation of offsetSign, offsetHour, offsetMin, and tzName.
  14. Return the string-concatenation of offsetString and tzName.

15 Amendments to the ECMAScript® 2023 Internationalization API Specification

Editor's Note

This section lists amendments which must be made to ECMA-402, the ECMAScript® 2023 Internationalization API Specification. Text to be added is marked like this, and text to be deleted is marked like this. Blocks of unmodified text between modified sections are marked by [...].

This text is based on top of the ECMA-402 spec text from commit 537afda7be28a443b79b3fd7e6c836a16ce4f75f.

15.1 Case Sensitivity and Case Mapping

Editor's Note

These definitions are moved into ECMA-262.

The String values used to identify locales, currencies, scripts, and time zones are interpreted in an ASCII-case-insensitive manner, treating the code units 0x0041 through 0x005A (corresponding to Unicode characters LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A through LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z) as equivalent to the corresponding code units 0x0061 through 0x007A (corresponding to Unicode characters LATIN SMALL LETTER A through LATIN SMALL LETTER Z), both inclusive. No other case folding equivalences are applied.

Note
For example, "ß" (U+00DF) must not match or be mapped to "SS" (U+0053, U+0053). "ı" (U+0131) must not match or be mapped to "I" (U+0049).

The ASCII-uppercase of a String value S is the String value derived from S by replacing each occurrence of an ASCII lowercase letter code unit (0x0061 through 0x007A, inclusive) with the corresponding ASCII uppercase letter code unit (0x0041 through 0x005A, inclusive) while preserving all other code units.

The ASCII-lowercase of a String value S is the String value derived from S by replacing each occurrence of an ASCII uppercase letter code unit (0x0041 through 0x005A, inclusive) with the corresponding ASCII lowercase letter code unit (0x0061 through 0x007A, inclusive) while preserving all other code units.

A String value A is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for String value B if the ASCII-uppercase of A is exactly the same sequence of code units as the ASCII-uppercase of B. A sequence of Unicode code points A is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for B if B is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for ! CodePointsToString(A).

15.2 Use of the IANA Time Zone Database

Editor's Note
This section replaces the Time Zone Names section in ECMA-402.

Implementations that adopt this specification are time zone aware: they use the IANA Time Zone Database https://www.iana.org/time-zones/ to supply time zone identifiers and data used in ECMAScript calculations and formatting. This section defines how the IANA Time Zone Database should be used by time zone aware implementations.

Except as overridden by AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers, each Zone in the IANA Time Zone Database must be a primary time zone identifier and each Link name in the IANA Time Zone Database must be a non-primary time zone identifier. No String may be an available named time zone identifier unless it is a Zone name or a Link name in the IANA Time Zone Database. Available named time zone identifiers returned by ECMAScript built-in objects must use the casing found in the IANA Time Zone Database.

In the IANA Time Zone Database, the UTC time zone is represented by the Zone "Etc/UTC" which is distinct from the Zone "Etc/GMT". For historical reasons, ECMAScript uses "UTC" as the primary identifier for the former Zone and does not recognize the latter Zone as distinct, instead requiring "Etc/UTC", "Etc/GMT", and "GMT" (if available) to be non-primary identifiers that resolve to "UTC". This is the only deviation from the IANA Time Zone Database that is required of a time zone aware ECMAScript implementation.

The IANA Time Zone Database is typically updated between five and ten times per year. These updates may add new Zone or Link names, may change Zones to Links, and may change the UTC offsets and transitions associated with any Zone. ECMAScript implementations are recommended to include updates to the IANA Time Zone Database as soon as possible. Such prompt action ensures that ECMAScript programs can accurately perform time-zone-sensitive calculations and can use newly-added available named time zone identifiers supplied by external input or the host environment.

Note 1

Although the IANA Time Zone Database maintainers strive for stability, in rare cases (averaging less than once per year) a Zone may be replaced by a new Zone. For example, in 2022 "Europe/Kiev" was deprecated to a Link resolving to a new "Europe/Kyiv" Zone.

To reduce disruption from renaming changes, ECMAScript implementations are encouraged to initially add the new Zone as a non-primary time zone identifier that resolves to the current primary identifier. Then, after a waiting period, implementations are recommended to promote the new Zone to a primary time zone identifier while simultaneously demoting the deprecated name to non-primary. The recommended waiting period is two years after the IANA Time Zone Database release containing the changes. This delay allows other systems, that ECMAScript programs may interact with, to be updated to recognize the new Zone.

A waiting period should only apply when a new Zone is added to replace an existing Zone. If an existing Zone and Link are swapped, then no waiting period is necessary.

If implementations revise time zone information during the lifetime of an agent, then which identifiers are supported, the primary time zone identifier associated with any identifier, and the UTC offsets and transitions associated with any Zone, must be consistent with results previously observed by that agent. Due to the complexity of supporting this requirement, it is recommended that implementations maintain a fully consistent copy of the IANA Time Zone Database for the lifetime of each agent.

This section complements but does not supersede 14.5.2.

Note 2

The IANA Time Zone Database offers build options that affect which time zone identifiers are primary. The default build options merge different countries' time zones, for example "Atlantic/Reykjavik" being a Link to the Zone "Africa/Abidjan". Geographically and politically distinct locations are likely to introduce divergent time zone rules in a future version of the IANA Time Zone Database. Therefore, it is recommended that ECMAScript implementations instead use build options such as PACKRATDATA=backzone PACKRATLIST=zone.tab or a similar alternative that ensures at least one primary identifier for each ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code.

15.2.1 AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers ( )

The implementation-defined abstract operation AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers takes no arguments and returns a List of Time Zone Identifier Records. Its result describes all available named time zone identifiers in this implementation, as well as the primary time zone identifier corresponding to each available named time zone identifier. The List is ordered according to the [[Identifier]] field of each Time Zone Identifier Record.

This definition supersedes the definition provided in 21.4.1.23.

  1. Let identifiers be a List containing the String value of each Zone or Link name in the IANA Time Zone Database, sorted according to lexicographic code unit order.
  2. Assert: No element of identifiers is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for any other element.
  3. Assert: Every element of identifiers identifies a Zone or Link name in the IANA Time Zone Database.
  4. Let result be a new empty List.
  5. For each element identifier of identifiers, do
    1. Let primary be identifier.
    2. If identifier is a non-primary time zone identifier and identifier is not "UTC", then
      1. Set primary to the name of the primary time zone identifier that identifier resolves to, according to the rules for resolving Link names in the IANA Time Zone Database.
      2. NOTE: An implementation may need to resolve identifier iteratively to obtain the primary time zone identifier.
    3. If primary is one of "Etc/UTC", "Etc/GMT", or "GMT", set primary to "UTC".
    4. Let record be the Time Zone Identifier Record { [[Identifier]]: identifier, [[PrimaryIdentifier]]: primary }.
    5. Append record to result.
  6. Assert: result contains a Time Zone Identifier Record r such that r.[[Identifier]] is "UTC" and r.[[PrimaryIdentifier]] is "UTC".
  7. Return result.
 Note
Time zone identifiers in the IANA Time Zone Database can change over time. At a minimum, implementations must limit changes to the result of AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers to the changes allowed by GetAvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifier, for the lifetime of the surrounding agent. That is, implementations must not remove support for or change the primary vs. non-primary status of an identifier that was already reported as available, and they must not add support for an identifier that was already reported as not available. Due to the complexity of supporting these recommendations, it is recommended that the result of AvailableNamedTimeZoneIdentifiers remains the same for the lifetime of the surrounding agent.

15.3 Time Zone Names

This specification identifies time zones using the Zone and Link names of the IANA Time Zone Database. Their canonical form is the corresponding Zone name in the casing used in the IANA Time Zone Database except as specifically overridden by CanonicalizeTimeZoneName.

A conforming implementation must recognize "UTC" and all other Zone and Link names (and only such names), and use best available current and historical information about their offsets from UTC and their daylight saving time rules in calculations. However, the set of combinations of time zone name and language tag for which localized time zone names are available is implementation dependent.

15.3.1 IsValidTimeZoneName ( timeZone )

The abstract operation IsValidTimeZoneName takes argument timeZone (a String) and returns a Boolean. It verifies that the timeZone argument represents a valid Zone or Link name of the IANA Time Zone Database. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If one of the Zone or Link names of the IANA Time Zone Database is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for timeZone, return true.
  2. If timeZone is an ASCII-case-insensitive match for "UTC", return true.
  3. Return false.
 Note
Any value returned from SystemTimeZoneIdentifier that is not recognized as valid by IsTimeZoneOffsetString must be recognized as valid by IsValidTimeZoneName.

15.3.2 CanonicalizeTimeZoneName ( timeZone )

The abstract operation CanonicalizeTimeZoneName takes argument timeZone (a String value that is a valid time zone name as verified by IsValidTimeZoneName). It returns the canonical and case-regularized form of timeZone. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let ianaTimeZone be the String value of the Zone or Link name of the IANA Time Zone Database that is an ASCII-case-insensitive match of timeZone.
  2. If ianaTimeZone is a Link name, set ianaTimeZone to the String value of the corresponding Zone name as specified in the file backward of the IANA Time Zone Database.
  3. If ianaTimeZone is "Etc/UTC" or "Etc/GMT", or "GMT", return "UTC".
  4. Return ianaTimeZone.

15.3.3 AvailableCanonicalTimeZones ( )

The implementation-defined abstract operation AvailableCanonicalTimeZones takes no arguments and returns a List of Strings. The returned List is a sorted List of supported Zone and Link names in the IANA Time Zone Database. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let names be a List of all Zone and Link names in the IANA Time Zone Database that are supported by the implementation.
  2. Let result be a new empty List.
  3. For each element name of names, do
    1. Assert: IsValidTimeZoneName( name ) is true.
    2. Let canonical be CanonicalizeTimeZoneName( name ).
    3. If result does not contain canonical, then
      1. Append canonical to result.
  4. Sort result in order as if an Array of the same values had been sorted using %Array.prototype.sort% using undefined as comparefn.
  5. Return result.

15.4 Calendar Types

This specification identifies calendars using a calendar type as defined by Unicode Technical Standard #35 Part 4 Dates, Section 2 Calendar Elements. Their canonical form is a string containing only Unicode Basic Latin lowercase letters (U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A through U+007A LATIN SMALL LETTER Z) with zero or more medial hyphens (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS).

15.4.1 AvailableCalendars ( )

The abstract operation AvailableCalendars takes no arguments and returns a List of Strings. The returned List is sorted according to lexicographic code unit order, and contains unique calendar types in canonical form (12.1) identifying the calendars for which the implementation provides the functionality of Intl.DateTimeFormat objects, including their aliases (e.g., either both or neither of "islamicc" and "islamic-civil"). The List must include "iso8601".

15.6 Abstract Operations

Editor's Note

In this section, some abstract operations that manipulate options objects are to be moved from ECMA-402 into ECMA-262.

15.6.1 GetOptionsObject ( options )

The abstract operation GetOptionsObject takes argument options (an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing an Object or a throw completion. It returns an Object suitable for use with GetOption, either options itself or a default empty Object. It throws a TypeError if options is not undefined and not an Object. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If options is undefined, then
    1. Return OrdinaryObjectCreate(null).
  2. If Type(options) is Object, then
    1. Return options.
  3. Throw a TypeError exception.

[...]

15.6.2 GetOption ( options, property, type, values, default )

The abstract operation GetOption takes arguments options (an Object), property (a property key), type (boolean or string), values (empty or a List of ECMAScript language values), and default (required or an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing an ECMAScript language value or a throw completion. It extracts the value of the specified property of options, converts it to the required type, checks whether it is allowed by values if values is not empty, and substitutes default if the value is undefined. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let value be ? Get(options, property).
  2. If value is undefined, then
    1. If default is required, throw a RangeError exception.
    2. Return default.
  3. If type is boolean, then
    1. Set value to ToBoolean(value).
  4. Else,
    1. Assert: type is string.
    2. Set value to ? ToString(value).
  5. If values is not empty and values does not contain value, throw a RangeError exception.
  6. Return value.

The examples are illustrative of the unique behaviour of each option. ⬆️ means "resolves toward positive infinity"; ⬇️ means "resolves toward negative infinity".

15.6.3 GetUnsignedRoundingMode ( roundingMode, sign )

The abstract operation GetUnsignedRoundingMode takes arguments roundingMode (a String) and sign (negative or positive) and returns a specification type from the Unsigned Rounding Mode column of Table 28. It returns the rounding mode that should be applied to the absolute value of a number to produce the same result as if roundingMode, one of the String values in the Identifier column of Table 27, were applied to the signed value of the number (negative if sign is negative, or positive otherwise). It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Return the specification type in the Unsigned Rounding Mode column of Table 28 for the row where the value in the Identifier column is roundingMode and the value in the Sign column is sign.

The abstract operation AdjustDateTimeStyleFormat takes arguments formats (a List of DateTime Format Records), baseFormat (a DateTime Format Record), matcher ("basic" or "best fit"), and allowedOptions (a List of field names) and returns a DateTime Format Record. It inspects baseFormat and determines the closest format to it that only includes fields from allowedOptions. This is used for determining the best format for Temporal objects with the "dateStyle" or "timeStyle" options. For example, a locale's best format for "dateStyle": "full" might include the weekday, which is not applicable when formatting a Temporal.PlainYearMonth object. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let formatOptions be a new Record.
  2. For each field name fieldName of allowedOptions, do
    1. Set the field of formatOptions whose name is fieldName to the value of the field of baseFormat whose name is fieldName.

  4. Else,
    1. Let bestFormat be BestFitFormatMatcher(formatOptions, formats).
  5. Return bestFormat.

15.9.3 DateTime Format Functions

A DateTime format function is an anonymous built-in function that has a [[DateTimeFormat]] internal slot.

When a DateTime format function F is called with optional argument date, the following steps are taken:

  1. Let dtf be F.[[DateTimeFormat]].
  2. Assert: dtf is an Object and dtf has an [[InitializedDateTimeFormat]] internal slot.

  5. Return ? FormatDateTime(dtf, x).

The "length" property of a DateTime format function is 1𝔽.

15.9.4 FormatDateTimePattern ( dateTimeFormat, format, pattern, x, epochNanoseconds )

The abstract operation FormatDateTimePattern takes arguments dateTimeFormat (an Intl.DateTimeFormat), format (a DateTime Format Record or a DateTime Range Pattern Format Record), pattern (a Pattern String), x (a Number), and epochNanoseconds (a BigInt) and returns a List of Records with fields [[Type]] (a String) and [[Value]] (a String). It interprets x as a time value as specified in es2024, 21.4.1.1, and creates the corresponding parts for the epoch time epochNanoseconds according to pattern and to the effective locale and the formatting options of dateTimeFormat and format. It performs the following steps when called:

A conforming implementation must recognize "UTC" and all Zone and Link names from the IANA Time Zone Database (and only such names), and use best available current and historical information about their offsets from UTC and their daylight saving time rules in calculations.
Note 2
Time zone information is subject to change, and host environments may update their time zone database at any time. At a minimum, implementations must ensure that the time zone information for each particular value of timeZone individually remains constant starting from the time it is first accessed, for the lifetime of the surrounding agent. Furthermore, it is recommended that the time zone information for all values of timeZone as a whole (i.e. the time zone database) remains the same for the lifetime of the surrounding agent.

  6. Return ? FormatDateTimeRange(dtf, x, y).

15.10.3 Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.formatRangeToParts ( startDate, endDate )

When the formatRangeToParts method is called with arguments startDate and endDate, the following steps are taken:

15.10.4 Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.resolvedOptions ( )

This function provides access to the locale and options computed during initialization of the object.

  1. Let dtf be the this value.
  2. If the implementation supports the normative optional constructor mode of 4.3 Note 1, then
    1. Set dtf to ? UnwrapDateTimeFormat(dtf).
  3. Perform ? RequireInternalSlot(dtf, [[InitializedDateTimeFormat]]).
  4. Let format be dtf.[[DateTimeFormat]].
  5. Let options be OrdinaryObjectCreate(%Object.prototype%).
  6. For each row of Table 15, except the header row, in table order, do
    1. Let p be the Property value of the current row.
    2. If there is an Internal Slot value in the current row, then
      1. Let v be the value of dtf's internal slot whose name is the Internal Slot value of the current row.
      2. If p is neither "hourCycle" nor "hour12", or if format has a field [[hour]], then
        1. Let v be the value of dtf's internal slot whose name is the Internal Slot value of the current row.
      3. Else,
        1. Let v be undefined.
    3. Else,
      1. Let format be dtf.[[DateTimeFormat]].
      2. If format has a field [[<p>]] and dtf.[[DateStyle]] is undefined and dtf.[[TimeStyle]] is undefined, then
        1. Let v be format.[[<p>]].
      3. Else,
        1. Let v be undefined.
    4. If v is not undefined, then
      1. If there is a Conversion value in the current row, then
        1. Let conversion be the Conversion value of the current row.
        2. If conversion is hour12, then
          1. If v is "h11" or "h12", set v to true. Otherwise, set v to false.
        3. Else,
          1. Assert: conversion is number.
          2. Set v to 𝔽(v).
      2. Perform ! CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(options, p, v).
  7. Return options.

For web compatibility reasons, if the property "hourCycle" is set, the "hour12" property should be set to true when "hourCycle" is "h11" or "h12", or to false when "hourCycle" is "h23" or "h24".

Note 1
In this version of the API, the "timeZone" property will be the identifier of the host environment's time zone if no "timeZone" property was provided in the options object provided to the Intl.DateTimeFormat constructor. The first edition left the "timeZone" property undefined in this case.
Note 2
For compatibility with versions prior to the fifth edition, the "hour12" property is set in addition to the "hourCycle" property.

15.11 Properties of Intl.DateTimeFormat Instances

Intl.DateTimeFormat instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from %Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype%.

Intl.DateTimeFormat instances have an [[InitializedDateTimeFormat]] internal slot.

Intl.DateTimeFormat instances also have several internal slots that are computed by the constructor:

Finally, Intl.DateTimeFormat instances have a [[BoundFormat]] internal slot that caches the function returned by the format accessor (11.3.3).
