Custom Calendar

A library for custom calendar written with typescipt, functionality with zero dependencies, define your own calendars, and interact with them.

Add your own custom calendar to your software using this library.

Features

• Easily create a custom calendar with terms we're already familiar with: days, weeks, months, years
• Easily navigate back or forward through a year and calculates year increments/decrements
• A builder with strict error checking to ensure the calendar you're building is correct
• Support for custom holidays/festivities
• Good customizability, so you can use it in your own custom calendars, such as ones you would need for RPGs or World Building.
• Well tested - the provided API has a good enough coverage %.

No support for

• Leap years (though you can manually account for it if you only need a single-year calendar rather than multi-year, by creating a calendar with the leap-month's days incremented by 1.)
• Workdays / Days off - the calendar does not tell you if a festivity is a day off or just an observation, nor can you specify non-working days in a Week object.
• There is no definition of seasons
• Weeks are not transitioned properly into new years, day 1 of year 1 begins with the first day of the week, no matter if the previous year ended on a different day than the last.

Caveats

• Calendars start at the year zero unless otherwise specified in the builder.

Install the library

npm install @zarthus/custom-calendar

How to use

import { CalendarBuilder, BuilderMonth } from "@zarthus/custom-calendar"; 

const myCalendar = CalendarBuilder.builder("Gregorian", ["Monday", "Tuesday", "..."])
    .addBuilderMonth(
        new BuilderMonth("January", 31)
            .addFestivity("New Years", 1)
    )
    .addBuilderMonth(
        new BuilderMonth("February", 28)
            .addFestivity("Valentines Day", 14)
    )
    .startingYear(2023)
    // and so on..
    .build();

const vDay = myCalendar.clone().advance(31 + 14);

// Today is the 14th of February, 2023
console.log(`Today is the ${vDay.getDayOfMonth()}th of ${vDay.getMonth().name}, ${vDay.getYear()}`);
// Let's celebrate Valentines Day
console.log(`Let's celebrate ${vDay.current().getFestivity()?.name ?? ".. nothing!"}`);
