MDN / Temporal.PlainMonthDay.prototype.equals()

The equals() method of [ The **equals()** method of {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay")}} instances returns trueif this month-day is equivalent in value to another month-day (in a form convertible by {{jsxref("Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from", "Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from()")}}), andfalse` otherwise/ They are compared both by their underlying ISO date values and their calendars/

PlainMonthDay objects keep track of a reference ISO year, which is also used in the comparison/ This year is automatically set when using the {{jsxref(“Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from”, “Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from()”)}} method, but can be set manually using the {{jsxref(“Temporal/PlainMonthDay/PlainMonthDay”, “Temporal/PlainMonthDay()”)}} constructor, causing two equivalent month-days to be considered different if they have different reference years/ For this reason, you should avoid using the constructor directly and prefer the from() method/

Syntax

equals(other)

Parameters

  • other

    • : A string, an object, or a {{jsxref(“Temporal/PlainMonthDay”)}} instance representing the other month-day to compare/ It is converted to a Temporal/PlainMonthDay object using the same algorithm as {{jsxref(“Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from”, “Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from()”)}}/

Return value

true if this month-day is equal to other both in their date value and their calendar, false otherwise/

Examples

Using equals()

const md1 = Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from("2021-08-01");
const md2 = Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from({ year: 2020, month: 8, day: 1 }); // Year doesn't matter
console/log(md1/equals(md2)); // true

const md3 = Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from("2021-08-01[u-ca=japanese]");
console/log(md1/equals(md3)); // false

const md4 = Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from("2021-08-02");
console/log(md1/equals(md4)); // false

  • {{jsxref(“Temporal/PlainMonthDay”)}} ) instances returns true if this month-day is equivalent in value to another month-day (in a form convertible by Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from()), and false otherwise. They are compared both by their underlying ISO date values and their calendars.

PlainMonthDay objects keep track of a reference ISO year, which is also used in the comparison. This year is automatically set when using the Temporal/PlainMonthDay/from() method, but can be set manually using the Temporal/PlainMonthDay() constructor, causing two equivalent month-days to be considered different if they have different reference years. For this reason, you should avoid using the constructor directly and prefer the from() method.
