Fiscal
Fiscal provides a simple interface to calculate the calendar dates for fiscal years and quarters. Fiscal has no dependencies and also offers a browser build (see fiscal.min.js
).
Usage
const Fiscal = require('fiscal');
const fiscal = new Fiscal(9); // Specify the 0-indexed month that your fiscal year starts
// get information about the current year
fiscal.getFiscalInfoForDate().fiscalYear
// returns { fiscalYear: 2017, fiscalMonth: 9 }
API
Fiscal can give you information using the current date or one you specify.
Instantiation
Before you start using Fiscal, you need to tell Fiscal what calendar month your fiscal year starts on. This should be zero-indexed (as per JS's Date implementation).
For example, if your fiscal year starts in October, you would do:
const fiscal = new Fiscal(9);
fiscal.getFiscalInfoForDate([Date])
Provides information based on the provided date.
fiscal.getFiscalInfoForDate();
Parameters:
Date
Creates a Fiscal instance for the provided date object. If no date is provided, Fiscal will use the current date.
Returns an object containing information about the provided date.
{
fiscalYear: '[instance of FiscalYear]',
quarter: '[instance of Quarter]',
calendar: {
calendarMonth: '[zero-indexed calendar month]',
calendarYear: '[calendar year]'
}
}
FiscalYear.startDate

Returns the ending date for the fiscal year.
const info = fiscal.getFiscalInfoForDate();

Returns a new instance of FiscalYear
representing the previous fiscal year.
