    Function subSeconds

    • Subtract the specified number of seconds from the given date.

      This function validates arguments before processing and returns a new Date instance with the specified number of seconds subtracted. Fractional seconds are truncated toward zero. Preserves milliseconds.

      Parameters

      • date: number | Date

        The base date as a Date object or timestamp (number)

      • amount: number

        The number of seconds to subtract (can be negative to add)

      Returns Date

      A new Date object with the seconds subtracted, or Invalid Date if any input is invalid

      // Subtract positive seconds
      const result = subSeconds(new Date(2020, 0, 1, 12, 30, 45), 15);
      // Returns: 2020-01-01T12:30:30

      // Add seconds (negative amount)
      const result = subSeconds(new Date(2020, 0, 1, 12, 30, 30), -15);
      // Returns: 2020-01-01T12:30:45

      // Fractional amounts are truncated
      const result = subSeconds(new Date(2020, 0, 1, 12, 0, 30), 1.9);
      // Returns: 2020-01-01T12:00:29 (1.9 truncated to 1)

      // Crossing minute boundary
      const result = subSeconds(new Date(2020, 0, 1, 12, 31, 15), 30);
      // Returns: 2020-01-01T12:30:45

      // Invalid inputs return Invalid Date
      const result = subSeconds(new Date("invalid"), 30);
      // Returns: Invalid Date
      • Validates arguments before conversion (consistent with library patterns)
      • Accepts both Date objects and numeric timestamps
      • Fractions are truncated using Math.trunc (1.9 → 1, -1.9 → -1)
      • Preserves milliseconds
      • Returns Invalid Date for: Invalid Date, NaN, Infinity, -Infinity
      • Always returns a new Date instance (does not mutate input)
