getTimeIn

Signature

Section titled “Signature”
getTimeIn(units: Partial<Record<"hours" | "minutes" | "seconds" | "milliseconds" | "microseconds" | "nanoseconds", number>>): string

Return the PlainTime after now, as an ISO string, counted from the current time.

  • Reads the clock once, after units is checked.
  • units is an object of unit amounts (hours to nanoseconds), such as { minutes: 15 }. A duration string returns "". A fractional amount returns "": write { minutes: 90 } for an hour and a half.
  • Lengths are unsigned: a negative amount returns "". getTimeAgo is the other direction.
  • A date unit returns "", even at zero.
  • Wraps at midnight and carries no day, so getTimeIn({ hours: 24 }) is the time now. For a moment that keeps its date, use getDateTimeIn or getZonedIn.
  • Counts from now in the system time zone. Whole seconds, floored. For sub-second digits, use addDateTime(getNow(), units), which also keeps the date.
  • Examples read the clock at 2027-06-15T12:00:00Z, with the system time zone UTC.
