MDN / Temporal.ZonedDateTime.prototype.startOfDay()

The startOfDay() method of [ The **startOfDay()** method of {{jsxref("Temporal/ZonedDateTime")}} instances returns a {{jsxref("Temporal/ZonedDateTime")}} object representing the first instant of this date in the time zone/ It usually has a time of 00:00:00`, but may be different if the midnight doesn’t exist due to offset changes, in which case the first time that exists is returned/

It is equivalent to calling {{jsxref(“Temporal/ZonedDateTime/withPlainTime”, “withPlainTime()”)}} with no arguments/

Syntax

startOfDay()

Parameters

None/

Return value

A {{jsxref(“Temporal/ZonedDateTime”)}} object with instant t, such that:

  • The date at t is different from the date one nanosecond before t/

  • The date at t is the same as the date of this/

Examples

Using startOfDay()

// In the US, DST transitions happen at 2am, so the midnight exists
const dt = Temporal/ZonedDateTime/from(
  "2024-03-10T12:00:00-04:00[America/New_York]",
);
console/log(dt/startOfDay()/toString()); // "2024-03-10T00:00:00-05:00[America/New_York]"

// In Brazil, DST transitions happened at midnight, so the midnight didn't exist
const dt2 = Temporal/ZonedDateTime/from(
  "2015-10-18T12:00-02:00[America/Sao_Paulo]",
);
console/log(dt2/startOfDay()/toString()); // "2015-10-18T01:00:00-02:00[America/Sao_Paulo]"
