Temporal.PlainDateTime.prototype.add()

duration

A string, an object, or a Temporal.Duration instance representing a duration to add to this date-time. It is converted to a Temporal.Duration object using the same algorithm as Temporal.Duration.from().

options Optional

An object containing the following property:

overflow Optional

A string specifying the behavior when a date component is out of range. Possible values are:

"constrain" (default)

The date component is clamped to the valid range.

"reject"

A RangeError is thrown if the date component is out of range.

A new Temporal.PlainDateTime object representing the date-time specified by the original PlainDateTime, plus the duration.

RangeError

Thrown if the result is not in the representable range, which is ±(10⁸ + 1) days, or about ±273,972.6 years, from the Unix epoch.

For how calendar durations are added, see Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.add().

Adding a duration is equivalent to subtracting its negation.

const start = Temporal.PlainDateTime.from("2021-01-01T12:34:56");
const end = start.add({
  years: 1,
  months: 2,
  weeks: 3,
  days: 4,
  hours: 5,
  minutes: 6,
  seconds: 7,
  milliseconds: 8,
});
console.log(end.toString()); // 2022-03-26T17:41:03.008

For more examples, especially with how different calendars and the overflow option interact with calendar durations, see Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.add().
