Temporal.PlainYearMonth.prototype.era

The era accessor property of Temporal.PlainYearMonth instances returns a calendar-specific lowercase string representing the era of this year-month, or undefined if the calendar does not use eras (e.g., ISO 8601). era and eraYear together uniquely identify a year in a calendar, in the same way that year does. It is calendar-dependent.

The set accessor of era is undefined. You cannot change this property directly. Use the with() method to create a new Temporal.PlainYearMonth object with the desired new value.

For general information and more examples, see Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.era.

console.log(ym2.era); // ce
