About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Create an iterator which returns evenly spaced dates over a specified interval.
import iterDatespace from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/iter-datespace@deno/mod.js';
Returns an iterator which returns evenly spaced Date
objects over a specified interval.
import MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/constants-time-milliseconds-in-day@deno/mod.js';
var start = ( new Date() ).getTime();
var it = iterDatespace( start, start+MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns <Date>
v = it.next().value;
// returns <Date>
v = it.next().value;
// returns <Date>
// ...
The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:
- next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a
value
property and adone
property having aboolean
value indicating whether the iterator is finished. - return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.
The function accepts the following options
:
- round: specifies how sub-millisecond times should be rounded:
'floor'
,'ceil'
, or'round'
. Default:'floor'
.
By default, the iterator returns 100
values. To return an alternative number of values over the specified interval, provide an N
argument.
import MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/constants-time-milliseconds-in-day@deno/mod.js';
var start = ( new Date() ).getTime();
var it = iterDatespace( start, start+MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY, 3 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns <Date>
v = it.next().value;
// returns <Date>
v = it.next().value;
// returns <Date>
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
The returned iterator is guaranteed to return the start
and stop
values. Beware, however, that values between start
and stop
are subject to rounding errors. For example,
var it = iterDatespace( 1417503655000, 1417503655001, 3 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655000
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655000
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655001
where sub-millisecond values are truncated by the Date
constructor. Duplicate values should only be a problem when the interval separating consecutive times is less than a millisecond. As the interval separating consecutive dates goes to infinity, the quantization noise introduced by millisecond resolution is negligible.
By default, fractional timestamps are floored. To specify that timestamps always be rounded up or to the nearest millisecond when converted to Date
objects, set the round option.
var opts = {
'round': 'ceil'
};
var it = iterDatespace( 1417503655000, 1417503655001, 3, opts );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655000
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655001
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655001
opts = {
'round': 'round'
};
it = iterDatespace( 1417503655000, 1417503655001, 3, opts );
// returns <Object>
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655000
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655001
v = it.next().value.getTime();
// returns 1417503655001
- The
start
andstop
arguments may be eitherDate
objects, JavaScript timestamps (i.e., millisecond timestamps), or a valid date string. - If an environment supports
Symbol.iterator
, the returned iterator is iterable.
