Functions

getPrayerTimes Function

Description

The getPrayerTimes function is a JavaScript function for fetching daily prayer times based on various parameters such as date, location coordinates, calculation method, and other optional settings. It utilizes the Aladhan API to retrieve accurate prayer times.

Usage

To use this function, you need to import it into your JavaScript/TypeScript project. Here's how you can import it:

import { getPrayerTimes } from '@mosqueicu/islamic_prayer_times';

Function Signature

async function getPrayerTimes(options): Promise<any>

Parameters

• options (required): An object of type PrayerTimeOptions containing the following properties:
  • date (string, required): The date for which you want to fetch prayer times in the format 'DD-MM-YYYY'.
  • latitude (number, required): The latitude of the location for which you want to fetch prayer times.
  • longitude (number, required): The longitude of the location for which you want to fetch prayer times.
  • method (number, optional): The calculation method for prayer times. Defaults to null.
  • shafaq (number, optional): The shafaq method for prayer times. Defaults to null.
  • tune (number, optional): The tune method for prayer times. Defaults to null.
  • school (number, optional): The school of jurisprudence for prayer times. Defaults to null.

  • latitudeAdjustmentMethod (string, optional): The latitude adjustment method for prayer times. Defaults to null.
  • adjustment (number, optional): The adjustment for prayer times. Defaults to null.
  • iso8601 (boolean, optional): Whether to return prayer times in ISO8601 format. Defaults to null.

Returns

• A Promise that resolves to an object containing the prayer times data or rejects with an error if the request fails.

Example

Here's an example of how to use the getPrayerTimes function:

const options: PrayerTimeOptions = {
	date: '17-07-2007',
	latitude: 51.508515,
	longitude: -0.1254872,
	method: 2, // Calculation method (optional)
};

getPrayerTimes(options)
	.then((data) => {
		console.log(data); // Print the retrieved prayer times data
	})
	.catch((error) => {
		console.error(error); // Handle any errors that occur during the request
	});

In this example, you specify the date and location coordinates in the options object and, if needed, additional parameters for calculation methods. The function then makes an API request to fetch the daily prayer times and returns the data.

Error Handling

The function handles errors by rejecting the Promise if there is a failure in fetching the data. You can catch these errors and handle them as needed.

Error Object

The error object thrown by the function will include an error message indicating the reason for the failure.

Error: Failed to fetch prayer times: [error message]

API Endpoint

The function uses the Aladhan API to retrieve prayer times data. The API endpoint is constructed based on the provided date.

• API Endpoint: http://api.aladhan.com/v1/timings/[date]

Please note that you need an internet connection to access the API.
