javascript instance accessor property

Temporal.Duration.prototype.days

View on MDN ↗

The days accessor property of Duration instances returns an integer representing the number of days in the duration.

Unless the duration is balanced, you cannot assume the range of this value, but you can know its sign by checking the duration’s sign property. If it is balanced to a unit above days, the days absolute value’s range depends on the calendar (how many days are in a week or month).

The set accessor of days is undefined. You cannot change this property directly. Use the with() method to create a new Temporal.Duration object with the desired new value.

Examples

Using days

const d1 = Temporal.Duration.from({ weeks: 1, days: 1 });
const d2 = Temporal.Duration.from({ weeks: -1, days: -1 });
const d3 = Temporal.Duration.from({ weeks: 1 });
const d4 = Temporal.Duration.from({ days: 7 });

console.log(d1.days); // 1
console.log(d2.days); // -1
console.log(d3.days); // 0
console.log(d4.days); // 7

// Balance d4
const d4Balanced = d4.round({
  largestUnit: "weeks",
  relativeTo: Temporal.PlainDate.from("2021-01-01"), // ISO 8601 calendar
});
console.log(d4Balanced.days); // 0
console.log(d4Balanced.weeks); // 1
