Temporal.ZonedDateTime.prototype.withPlainTime()

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The withPlainTime() method of Temporal.ZonedDateTime instances returns a new Temporal.ZonedDateTime object representing this date-time with the time part entirely replaced by the new time (in a form convertible by Temporal.PlainTime.from())

This method will replace all time properties, defaulting to 0 where properties are unspecified. If you only want to replace some of the time properties, use the with() method instead.

Syntax

withPlainTime()
withPlainTime(plainTime)

Parameters

plainTime Optional: A string, an object, or a Temporal.PlainTime instance representing the new time. It is converted to a Temporal.PlainTime object using the same algorithm as Temporal.PlainTime.from(). If not specified, the time part is set to the start of the day (which is usually 00:00:00 unless it doesn't exist due to offset transitions). Disambiguation always happens in the "compatible" mode; if you want to use a different mode, use the with() method instead.

Return value

A new Temporal.ZonedDateTime object, with the date part and the time zone copied from the original date-time and the time part replaced by the new time.

Examples

Using withPlainTime()

const zdt = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from(
  "2021-07-01T12:34:56[America/New_York]",
);

// You can pass a string
const newZDT = zdt.withPlainTime("13:45:00");
console.log(newZDT.toString()); // "2021-07-01T13:45:00-04:00[America/New_York]"

// You can only specify some time properties, and the rest default to 0;
// for the with() method, they would be copied from the original date-time
const newZDT2 = zdt.withPlainTime({ hour: 13 });
console.log(newZDT2.toString()); // "2021-07-01T13:00:00-04:00[America/New_York]"

// You can pass nothing to set the time to midnight
const newZDT3 = zdt.withPlainTime();
console.log(newZDT3.toString()); // "2021-07-01T00:00:00-04:00[America/New_York]"

// But, if midnight doesn't exist, it may be a different time
const zdt2 = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from(
  "2015-10-18T12:00-02:00[America/Sao_Paulo]",
);
console.log(zdt2.withPlainTime().toString()); // "2015-10-18T01:00:00-02:00[America/Sao_Paulo]"
