esri/time/TimeExtent
A period of time with a definitive start and end date. Time extent is used to display or query features that fall within the specified time period. To represent an instant of time, set the start and end times to the same date.
When creating a JavaScript Date, be mindful that most constructors will create a date with respect to your local timezone rather than UTC (i.e. universal time). To create a date with respect to UTC, use the UTC method on the Date object.
// Represents the data for the month of Jan, 1970
const timeExtent = new TimeExtent({
start: new Date(Date.UTC(1970, 0, 1, 6, 30)),
end: new Date(Date.UTC(1970, 0, 31, 6, 30))
});

Method Details
-
Inherited from Accessor
-
Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.
// Manually manage handles const handle = reactiveUtils.when( () => !view.updating, () => { wkidSelect.disabled = false; }, { once: true } ); this.addHandles(handle); // Destroy the object this.destroy();
ParametershandleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *optionalKey identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.
-
clone
clone(){TimeExtent}
-
Creates a deep clone of TimeExtent object.
ReturnsType Description TimeExtent A new instance of a TimeExtent object equal to the object used to call .clone()
.
-
expandTo
expandTo(unit, timeZone){TimeExtent}
-
Expands the TimeExtent so that the start and end dates are rounded down and up, respectively, to the parsed time unit.
ParametersReturnsType Description TimeExtent A new expanded TimeExtent. - See also
Examples// Expand a time extent to a decade. const extent = new TimeExtent({ start: new Date(2012, 3, 5), end: new Date(2019, 0, 4) }); const decade = extent.expandTo("decades"); // decade is: 1/1/2010 to 1/1/2020
// Expand a time extent to the nearest month. const extent = new TimeExtent({ start: new Date(2012, 3, 5), end: new Date(2019, 0, 4) }); const expandToMonth = extent.expandTo("months"); // expandToMonth is: 4/1/2012 to 2/1/2019
-
Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input
json
parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.Parameterjson ObjectA JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.
ReturnsType Description * Returns a new instance of this class.
-
hasHandles
InheritedMethodhasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor -
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key.
ReturnsType Description Boolean Returns true
if a named group of handles exist.Example// Remove a named group of handles if they exist. if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) { obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates"); }
-
intersection
intersection(timeExtent){TimeExtent}inner
-
Returns the time extent resulting from the intersection of a given time extent and parsed time extent. Returns a timeExtent with
undefined
values for start and end properties if the two time extents do not intersect.ParametertimeExtent TimeExtentThe time extent to be intersected with the time extent on which
intersection()
is being called on.ReturnsType Description TimeExtent The intersecting time extent between two time extents. Example// get the intersecting timeExtent between view.timeExtent and // layer view filter's timeExtent const timeExtent = view.timeExtent.intersection(layerView.effect.filter.timeExtent); if (timeExtent){ console.log("time intersection", timeExtent); const query = layerView.createQuery(); query.timeExtent = timeExtent; layerView.queryFeatures(query).then(function(results){ console.log(results.features.length, " are returned for intersecting timeExtent"); }); }
-
Inherited from Accessor
-
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
-
toJSON
toJSON(){Object}
-
Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.
ReturnsType Description Object The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
-
union
union(timeExtent){TimeExtent}inner
-
Returns the time extent resulting from the union of the current time extent and a given time extent.
ParametertimeExtent TimeExtentThe time extent to be unioned with.
ReturnsType Description TimeExtent The resulting union of the current time extent and the given time extent. Example// Return the union of two time extents. One from 1990 to 2000 and the second from 2010 to 2020. const decade1 = new TimeExtent({ start: new Date(1990, 0, 1), end: new Date(2000, 0, 1) }); const decade2 = new TimeExtent({ start: new Date(2010, 0, 1), end: new Date(2020, 0, 1) }); const union = decade1.union(decade2); console.log(`The unioned extent starts from year ${union.start.getFullYear()} to ${union.end.getFullYear()}`); // output: "The unioned extent starts from year 1990 to 2020"
