Iterate over array of starts, ends

[chrismatchett]

Hi,

Can I use moment-range to iterate over an array of start, end datetimes and identify which, if any, overlap? Most examples when I search are for comparing two sets of datetimes but I can't get my head around how to test all items in an array.

Thanks,

Chris

This isn't super efficient, but it checks each range against every other range, and returns any that overlap. (I haven't tested this works but it should!)

const ranges = [
  moment.range(moment('2018-01-01'), moment('2018-02-01')),
  moment.range(moment('2018-01-14'), moment('2018-02-14')),
  moment.range(moment('2018-02-01'), moment('2018-03-01')),
];

const overlappingRanges = ranges.find((range, index) => {
  return ranges.some((candidate, candidateIndex) => {
    return index !== candidateIndex && candidate.overlaps(range);
  });
});

Hi @chrismatchett Maybe you can use moment-ranges#overlaps. 🙂
