docs: document the rule and query API - #12
Conversation
docs/ described a library that was still in design. There is now a real surface — the rule language, its builder, the JSON boundary and the four queries — and nothing telling anyone how to use it. Adds getting-started, rules, queries, time-zones, serialisation and api pages, and rewrites the package README, which was three lines saying the project was in design. Fixes concepts/, written before any code: it described layers and values as though they worked, and its card used a scope/value shape that does not exist. Layers are now marked as designed and not built, with the way an override is actually written today shown alongside. Only what exists is documented. Every example was run against a packed tarball of this source and its real output pasted in; a script extracts each snippet and diffs it against a fresh run, and all 33 match.

Add a language tag to the output code fence.
markdownlint reports MD040 for this fence. Use text or console so the documentation passes the fenced-code-language check.

Make the card example internally consistent.
The snippet only constructs openingHours. It does not call intervals, but the final comment claims an interval output. The output also shows March 9, while the only exception in the rule is December 25.
Remove the output comment, or add the evaluation call and matching context.

Document the Temporal polyfill installation and feature detection.
If globalThis.Temporal is unavailable, the documented fallback requires installing temporal-polyfill first and loading its temporal-polyfill/global entrypoint. Add npm install temporal-polyfill to the installation instructions so the fallback example does not fail with a module-not-found error.

From the CodeRabbit review. Every output block now carries a `text` language tag, which markdownlint wants (MD040) and which oxfmt leaves alone — unlike `json`, which it reformats, silently making a pasted JSON.stringify output stop matching what actually prints. The concepts card claimed an interval output from a snippet that never called intervals, against a rule whose only exception was in December. It is now the override the page is about. The polyfill fallback needed `npm install temporal-polyfill` before the import it shows, or the example fails on a missing module.

docs/still described a library in design. There is now a real surface andnothing telling anyone how to use it, so this writes the six pages
10-docs-planlists, rewrites the package README, and fixes
concepts/.Pages
getting-started/rules/queries/advanceByfirst, thenactiveAt,elapsed,nexttime-zones/serialisation/api/index.tsexportsEvery example was run
Each was executed against a
pnpm packtarball of this source, installed as@kensio/quandoin a scratch project on Node 26, and its real output pasted in.A script then extracts every snippet from the pages, runs it again and diffs it
against the documented output: 33 runnable examples, 0 mismatches. It caught
one real regression —
oxfmtreformats a```jsonoutput block, which madethe pretty-printed
JSON.stringifyoutput no longer match what actually prints.That block is now untagged.
From
queries/, the reason the library exists:From
time-zones/, the same night shift across both clock changes — the numbersthat make wall clock and elapsed time worth a page:
Errors are real too, rather than paraphrased:
concepts/It was written before any code. The "still in design" line is gone, and its card
used a
scope/valueshape that does not exist — replaced with a real snippet.Its layers-and-values sections read as though they worked. They now say plainly
that none of it is built, and the motivating example is followed by how an
override is actually written today, run like everything else:
Naming the eleventh twice is exactly the strain layers are meant to remove, so
the section now earns its keep instead of promising an API.
One thing to decide
0.1.0on npm predates all of this. It was published at#7, before therule language (
#9), the builder and parser (#10) and the queries (#11), sowhat npm serves today exports only the interval core.
getting-started/and theREADME therefore carry a short blockquote saying so. Both should be deleted on
the next release, when they stop being true.
Checks
pnpm checkpasses: fmt, docs contract (all seven pages have an H1 and a card),fta, typecheck, pack, 146 tests at 99.3%. The extracted snippets also typecheck
under TypeScript 6 with
lib: ESNext, which is what turned up the"lib"requirement now documented ingetting-started/.Summary by CodeRabbit
