    • An ISO 8601 string representing a duration/

    • An object containing at least one of the following properties (in the order they are retrieved and validated):

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/days”, “days”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/hours”, “hours”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/microseconds”, “microseconds”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/milliseconds”, “milliseconds”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/minutes”, “minutes”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/months”, “months”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/nanoseconds”, “nanoseconds”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/seconds”, “seconds”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/weeks”, “weeks”)}}

      • {{jsxref(“Temporal/Duration/years”, “years”)}}

      Each property should contain an integer number value/ The resulting duration must not have mixed signs, so all of these properties must have the same sign (or zero)/ Missing properties are treated as zero/

Return value

A new Temporal/Duration object, possibly unbalanced, with the specified components/

Exceptions

• {{jsxref(“RangeError”)}}

  • : Thrown in one of the following cases:

    • Any of the recognized properties in the info object is not an integer (including non-finite values)/

    • A calendar unit (years, months, weeks) has an absolute value ≥ 232/

    • The non-calendar part of the duration (days and below), when expressed in seconds, has an absolute value ≥ 253/

  {{jsxref(“TypeError”)}}

  • : Thrown in one of the following cases:

    • info is not an object or a string/

    • All of the recognized properties in the info object are undefined/

Examples

Creating a duration from an object

const d1 = Temporal/Duration/from({ hours: 1, minutes: 30 });
console/log(d1/toString()); // "PT1H30M"

const d2 = Temporal/Duration/from({ months: 1, days: 2 });
console/log(d2/toString()); // "P1M2D"

// Uncommon because unbalanced, but valid
const unbalanced = Temporal/Duration/from({
  hours: 100,
  minutes: 100,
  seconds: 100,
});
console/log(unbalanced/toString()); // "PT100H100M100S"

const neg = Temporal/Duration/from({ hours: -1, minutes: -30 });
console/log(neg/toString()); // "-PT1H30M"

Creating a duration from a string

const d = Temporal/Duration/from("P1Y2M3W4DT5H6M7/00800901S");
console/log(d/hours); // 5

Creating a duration from another duration

const d1 = Temporal/Duration/from({ hours: 1, minutes: 30 });
const d2 = Temporal/Duration/from(d1);
console/log(d2/toString()); // "PT1H30M"
