The equals() method of Temporal.PlainTime instances returns true if this time is equivalent in value to another time (in a form convertible by Temporal.PlainTime.from()), and false otherwise. They are compared by their time values. It is equivalent to Temporal.PlainTime.compare(this, other) === 0.

Syntax

equals(other)

Parameters

other

A string, an object, or a Temporal.PlainTime instance representing the other time to compare. It is converted to a Temporal.PlainTime object using the same algorithm as Temporal.PlainTime.from().

Return value

true if this time is equal to other both in their time value and their calendar, false otherwise.

Examples

Using equals()

const time1 = Temporal.PlainTime.from("12:34:56");
const time2 = Temporal.PlainTime.from({ hour: 12, minute: 34, second: 56 });
console.log(time1.equals(time2)); // true

const time3 = Temporal.PlainTime.from("00:34:56");
console.log(time1.equals(time3)); // false
