Temporal.PlainDateTime.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.PlainDateTime instances returns a new Temporal.PlainDateTime 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

js
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 00:00:00.

Return value

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

Examples

Using withPlainTime()

js
const dt = Temporal.PlainDateTime.from("2021-07-01T12:34:56");

// You can pass a string
const newDT = dt.withPlainTime("13:45:00");
console.log(newDT.toString()); // "2021-07-01T13:45:00"

// 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 newDT2 = dt.withPlainTime({ hour: 13 });
console.log(newDT2.toString()); // "2021-07-01T13:00:00"

// You can pass nothing to set the time to midnight
const newDT3 = dt.withPlainTime();
console.log(newDT3.toString()); // "2021-07-01T00:00:00"
