ee.DateRange.isEmpty

  • The isEmpty() method returns true if a DateRange contains no dates (i.e., start >= end).

  • The isEmpty() method is used on a DateRange object and returns a Boolean value.

  • Examples demonstrate how to use isEmpty() with different ee.DateRange objects in both JavaScript and Python to check if they are empty.

 Returns true if this DateRange contains no dates (i.e. start >= end).

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// A series of ee.DateRange objects.
var dateRange1 = ee.DateRange('2017-06-24', '2017-07-24');
var dateRange2 = ee.DateRange('2017-07-24', '2017-06-24');
var dateRange3 = ee.DateRange('2017-07-24', '2017-07-24');

// Determine if the ee.DateRange is empty.
print('Is dateRange1 empty?', dateRange1.isEmpty());
print('Is dateRange2 empty?', dateRange2.isEmpty());
print('Is dateRange3 empty?', dateRange3.isEmpty());
