The intent of using durations here is to anticipate
Temporal
becoming part of the web platform.We calculate the duration of the two dates and return a proxy object for
Temporal.Duration
, so that we can in turn hope to callround
on this duration, to get a single unit duration object, which can then be more easily fed intoIntl.RelativeTimeFormat
.The
Temporal.Duration#round
function is very complex, and so for now we haveroundToSingleUnit
as a "simplified" version of this function, which provides the minimum viable requirements for this code.The hope is that, once
Temporal
is a part of the web platform, we can delete a lot of the delicate date code in this library.The change in this PR, while reasonable in isolation, steps us further away from this goal of steering toward Temporal.
Having said that I'm sure this PR can be factored such that it maintains this goal. It might be worth looking at the
round
API to figure out how to change the inputs torelativeTime
. Perhaps it is worth taking the functionality ofrelativeTime
and factoring it intoroundToSingleUnit
?There was a problem hiding this comment.

That makes me question then why an already existing implementation of the
round
function could not be adopted.Sure, it can be quickly done. Without knowing the
Temporal
vision I made a new function with a different signature because calculating a duration then calculating back the original date would be a very roundabout thing to do. Perhaps then I will raise this concern totc39/proposal-temporal
.
