Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Install

Node.js:

npm install he-date

Browser:

Download source or minified.

You can also use without downloading:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/he-date"></script>`

Usage

HeDate methods are just like the native Date methods, but instead of Gregorian calendar, it uses the Hebrew calendar.

If you are familliar with the native Date, you can quickly get started with HeDate.

Example

var HeDate = require('he-date'); // for node.js

var heDate = new HeDate(5777, 5, 15);
console.log(heDate.getMonth()) // 5
console.log(heDate.toDateString()) // Mon 15 Adar 5777

For complete method reference, see the Docs.

Why

toLocaleDateString

For only converting Gregorian date to Hebrew date, you could use the native method as follow:

new Date().toLocaleDateString('en-US-u-ca-hebrew')

However, you couldn't convert Hebrew date to Gregorian date.
That is why you need HeDate.

Further more, the native method is not 100% correct!
For example, try to compare the result of the following code:

new Date(2046, 9, 1).toLocaleDateString('en-US-u-ca-hebrew')

against Google Calendar equivalent.

Hebcal

Hebcal is a reach library for managing hebrew dates.

The difference between Hebcal and HeDate:

  1. HeDate uses the native Date methods, while Hebcal provides its own functions.
  2. Hebcal provides you with very much methods that you will generally don't need at all (i.e. getSedra).
    Also, it takes your location to calculate sunrise and sunset.
    HeDate doesn't provide any additional functions other than the Date like methods.

So, if you want to know only about hebrew dates, months and years, then prefer HeDate.
But if you want also to know about hebrew holidays, Sedra's, sunrise, DafYomi and so on, you may try Hebcal.
