how to find free time slot of a day if busy slots are given in nodejs

Question

For example clinic working hours on specific date are as follow:

var workingStartTime = 2018-05-12T08:00:00.000Z; 
var workingEndTime = 2018-05-12T22:00:00.000Z;

Doctor's already scheduled appointments on the same date are as follow:

var busySlots = 
[ { 
start_time: '2018-05-12T14:30:00.000Z',end_time:'2018-05-12T17:45:00.000Z' 
},
{ 
start_time: '2018-05-12T20:30:00.000Z',end_time: '2018-05-12T21:45:00.000Z' 
}]

I need to fetch available time slots of doctor which are greater than 60 minutes starting from 2018-05-12T08:00:00.000Z to 2018-05-12T22:00:00.000Z timings of a day with minimum line of code in nodejs.

Following problem is similar to my query:

How to find free time slot based on available time slot and booked time slot?

But above code is in php and i need code written in nodejs.

You might want to check moment.js library. It has lots of function that provide easier date/time manipulation. It could help you. — Amiga500, May 25 '18 at 10:24

Below code might be not optimized but it works for me:

function (cb){

         var duration = 60;
         var freeSlots = [];

         var workingStartTime = 2018-05-12T08:00:00.000Z; 
         var workingEndTime = 2018-05-12T22:00:00.000Z;

         var busySlots = [];
         busySlots.push({ start_time: "2018-05-12T14:30:00.000Z",end_time: "2018-05-12T17:45:00.000Z" }) ;
         busySlots.push({ start_time: "2018-05-12T20:30:00.000Z",end_time: "2018-05-12T21:45:00.000Z" }) ;

         var beginAt = workingStartTime;
         var overAt = workingEndTime;
         var count = 0;
         var last = busySlots.length;

         async.forEach(busySlots, function (item, callback){

             /*** Library funcition to gind difference between two dates (Minutes) ***/
             var diff = libFunc.getRange(beginAt, item.start_time,TIME_UNITS.MINUTES);
             if(diff > duration){
               let free = {"start_time":beginAt , "end_time":item.start_time};
               freeSlots.push(free);
               beginAt = item.end_time;
               count += 1;

               /** Process for end slot **/
               if(last == count){
                 var diff = libFunc.getRange(item.end_time, overAt, TIME_UNITS.MINUTES);
                 if(diff > duration){
                   let free = {"start_time":item.end_time , "end_time":overAt};
                   freeSlots.push(free);
                   callback();
                 }else{
                   callback();
                 }
               }else{
                 callback();
               }
               /** Process for end slot **/

             }else{
               beginAt = item.end_time;
               count += 1;

               /** Process for end slot **/
               if(last == count){
                 var diff = libFunc.getRange(item.end_time, overAt, TIME_UNITS.MINUTES);
                 if(diff > duration){
                   let free = {"start_time":item.end_time , "end_time":overAt};
                   freeSlots.push(free);
                   callback();
                 }else{
                   callback();
                 }
               }else{
                 callback();
               }
               /** Process for end slot **/
             }

         }, function(err) {
           // console.log(freeSlots);
             cb(null);
         });
       },
