min

min()

Returns the earliest Chronos instance based on the underlying universal timestamp.

Signature

static min(...dates: ChronosInput[]): Chronos

Parameters

• dates: Dates to compare

Return Type

Chronos - Earliest moment (new instance)

Example

Notes

• All inputs are normalized to Chronos instances before comparison.
• Comparison is always performed using each instance's UTC timestamp, ensuring a consistent and timezone-agnostic result.
• When exactly two values are provided, the first value becomes the initial candidate; if the second value represents an earlier moment in time, it replaces the candidate.
• The returned value is not one of the input values. A new immutable Chronos instance is always created. Its internal timezone, offset, name, and tracking information are cloned from the winning input instance.
