Syntax

round(smallestUnit)
round(options)

Parameters

smallestUnit

A string representing the smallestUnit option. This is a convenience overload, so round(smallestUnit) is equivalent to round({ smallestUnit }), where smallestUnit is a string.

options

An object containing some or all of the following properties (in the order they are retrieved and validated):

roundingIncrement Optional

A number (truncated to an integer) representing the rounding increment in the given smallestUnit. Defaults to 1. The increment and the smallestUnit must evenly divide 24 hours; for example, 45 seconds is a divisor of 86400 seconds, and 100 minutes is a divisor of 3600 minutes. This is slightly less strict than the round() method of the other classes, which all require the increment to be a divisor of the maximum value of the unit.

roundingMode Optional

A string specifying how to round off the fractional part of smallestUnit. See Intl.NumberFormat(). Defaults to "halfExpand".

smallestUnit

A string representing the smallest unit to include in the output. The value must be one of the following: "hour", "minute", "second", "millisecond", "microsecond", "nanosecond", or their plural forms. For units larger than "nanosecond", fractional parts of the smallestUnit will be rounded according to the roundingIncrement and roundingMode settings.

Return value

A new Temporal.Instant object representing this instant rounded to the given unit, where all units smaller than smallestUnit are zeroed out.

Exceptions

RangeError

Thrown if any of the options is invalid.

Examples

Rounding off small units

const instant = Temporal.Instant.fromEpochMilliseconds(1000);
const roundedInstant = instant.round("second");
console.log(roundedInstant.epochMilliseconds); // 1000

const instant2 = instant.round("minute");
console.log(instant2.epochMilliseconds); // 0
