/** * Return the exact length of a date interval in `unit`, as a real (possibly fractional) number. * * - Distinct from `intervalCountDate`, which counts calendar `unit` boundaries *crossed* rather * than measuring exact duration — see `intervalCountDate`'s JSDoc for the canonical * 11:59pm→12:01am example of the two diverging. `intervalLengthDate` answers "how long is * this interval", `intervalCountDate` answers "how many boundaries does it touch". * - Uses `Temporal.Duration.prototype.total`, which resolves calendar units (month, year) * against the interval's own start so a partial month is expressed as a true fraction rather * than truncated. * - Returns `0` for a zero-length interval (`start === end`). * - Returns `null` on invalid input (unparseable start/end, `start > end`, unsupported unit, * or a unit that has no effect on `PlainDate`, e.g. `"hours"`). * - Accepts GMT calendar-annotated PlainDate strings — E5 (issue #78). When `start` and `end` * carry the *same* calendar tag, the length is measured in that calendar; otherwise (or if * either is bare ISO) it falls back to Gregorian — same shared-calendar rule as * `intervalCountDate` (E5 decision of record D5). * * @param start ISO PlainDate string for the interval start, optionally calendar-annotated * @param end ISO PlainDate string for the interval end, optionally calendar-annotated * @param unit unit string — `"year" | "month" | "week" | "day"` (time units return null) * @returns exact length of the interval expressed in `unit`, or null on invalid input * * @example intervalLengthDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-03", "day") // 2 * @example intervalLengthDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-16", "day") // 15 * @example intervalLengthDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-16", "month") // 0.4838709677419355 (15 of January's 31 days) * @example intervalLengthDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-01", "day") // 0 * @example intervalLengthDate("2024-01-01", "2024-01-10", "hour") // null * @example intervalLengthDate("invalid", "2024-01-10", "day") // null */ export declare function intervalLengthDate(start: string, end: string, unit: string): number | null;
