@gund/time-slots

Small library to generate slots for a date range between a time range with optional interval

This is a small utility library that allow you to easily generate time slots and also exclude from generated time slots already existing time slots.

It has "zero" dependencies but requires a small set of date functions to operate which you can provide via DateAdapter. And there is already existing date-fns adapter that you can use out of the box.

Install

$ npm install @gund/time-slots

Optionally install date-fns if you want to use out of the box provider:

$ npm install date-fns

Setup

First make sure to provide a small set of date functions called DateAdapter that is needed for this library to work:

import { provideDateAdapter } from '@gund/time-slots';

provideDateAdapter(...); // Your DateAdapter is here

Optionally you may import and use existing date-fns adapter:

import { provideDateAdapter } from '@gund/time-slots';
import { dateFnsAdapter } from '@gund/time-slots/date-adapter/date-fns';

provideDateAdapter(dateFnsAdapter);

Use

Generation of slots

You can generate slots for a date range DateRange between a time range TimeRange with optional time interval TimeInterval:

import { generateTimeSlots, DateRange, TimeRange } from '@gund/time-slots';

const slots = generateTimeSlots(
  DateRange.fromDates(new Date(2020, 10, 15), new Date(2020, 10, 20)),
  TimeRange.fromTimeStrings('9:00', '17:30'),
);

// Now slots will contain array of `TimeRange`
// between 15.11.2020 to 20.11.2020
// with every day from 9am till 5:30pm
console.log(slots);

With time interval

To slice every day into intervals you can add TimeInterval argument:

import {
  generateTimeSlots,
  DateRange,
  TimeRange,
  TimeInterval,
} from '@gund/time-slots';

const slots = generateTimeSlots(
  DateRange.fromDates(new Date(2020, 10, 15), new Date(2020, 10, 16)),
  TimeRange.fromTimeStrings('9:00', '17:30'),
  TimeInterval.minutes(30),
);

// Now slots will contain array of `TimeRange`
// between 15.11.2020 to 20.11.2020
// with every day sliced in 30 mins intervals from 9am till 5:30pm
console.log(slots);

Exclusion of existing slots

You can also exclude from an array of slots another array of slots. The exclusion of a slot will happen as long as it intersects with a slot from another array.

import { excludeTimeSlots } from '@gund/time-slots';

const allSlots = [...];
const bookedSlots = [...];

const availableSlots = excludeTimeSlots(allSlots, bookedSlots);

// Result will have only slots from `allSlots` that
// do not intersect with any slots in `bookedSlots`
console.log(availableSlots);

Build

Run nx build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run nx test to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Run nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.
