Why i get added 5 hours instead 4 on daylight saving time when i use the add method and how can i re-CodePudding

I need to add 4 hours to my moment js date. So for that i am using

/* this timestamp is this date 27-03-2045 00:00 */
const someday = moment(2374178400000);
const addedFourHours = someday.add(4, 'hours');

on 27 March the DST is already passed and i get exactly 4 hours added and the end date in addedFoursHours is Mon Mar 27 2045 04:00:00 GMT 0200.

But when i try date when DST is happening for example 26 March on midnight

/* this timestamp is this date 26-03-2045 00:00  */ 
const someday = moment(2374095600000);
const addedFourHours = someday.add(4, 'hours');

then i get Sun Mar 26 2045 05:00:00 GMT 0200. In previous case i got 04:00 time when i added 4 hours after midnight. Why in DST time i get 05:00 time ?

How can i solve this ?

What you want is then actually not adding 4 hours, but finding the next time where the hours are a multiple of 4.

So, remove all suggestion from your code that you are adding four hours (cf. your variable name).

You can do this:

const someday = moment(2374095600000);
console.log(someday.toString());
const hours = someday.hours();
someday.hours(hours   4 - (hours % 4)); // Find next time that is multiple of 4.
console.log(someday.toString());

You want to add 3, 4 or 5 hours depending on the date, but you want to set specific values for the hours. Read the hour value, add 4 and set the value:

const today = moment(2374178400000);
const four = moment(today).hours(today.hour()   4);
const eight = moment(four).hours(four.hour()   4);
const twelve = moment(eight).hours(eight.hour()   4);
const sixteen = moment(twelve).hours(twelve.hour()   4);
const twenty = moment(sixteen).hours(sixteen.hour()   4);
const tomorrow = moment(twenty).hours(twenty.hour()   4);

console.log(today);
console.log(four);
console.log(eight);
console.log(twelve);
console.log(sixteen);
console.log(twenty);
console.log(tomorrow);
