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 🙏

A library for calculating zmanim, based on KosherJava.

Readme

This project is at an alpha stage.

Things will break, and APIs might change. Be cautious using this in production. Additionally, not all methods have been tested for accuracy.

Introduction

Kosher Zmanim is a TS/JS port of the KosherJava library.

Installation

NPM:

npm install kosher-zmanim

UMD (browser):

<script src="https://unpkg.com/kosher-zmanim/dist/kosher-zmanim.min.js"></script>

It is highly recommended that you pin the version (e.g. https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/kosher-zmanim.min.js), so updates don't break your app.

Usage and Documentation

Importing

ES6 modules / Typescript:

import * as KosherZmanim from "kosher-zmanim";

Or:

import { ComplexZmanimCalendar, getZmanimJson } from "kosher-zmanim";

CommonJS modules:

const KosherZmanim = require("kosher-zmanim");

Or:

const { ComplexZmanimCalendar, getZmanimJson } = require("kosher-zmanim");

UMD (browser):

For UMD, a global KosherZmanim object is exposed.

Library Usage:

The KosherJava library has been ported to JS, following the original API as close as possible. The classes are exposed as named exports. You can instantiate or extend those classes as necessary, the same way you would in Java.

const zmanimCalendar = new KosherZmanim.ZmanimCalendar();

See the KosherJava API documentation for more details.

Simple usage

Alternatively, there is a getZmanimJson() utility method.

const zmanim = KosherZmanim.getZmanimJson(options);

Check out the demo, and look at the code to see an example of how it's used.

options object

The options object has the following structure and defaults:

{
    date: Date | string | number = new Date(),
    timeZoneId: string
    locationName?: string,
    latitude: number,
    longitude: number,
    elevation?: number = 0,
    complexZmanim?: boolean = false,
}

Note about how zmanim are calculated

This library uses Luxon as a date/time library, since Javascript's Date object does not support setting timezones other than the system timezone. All class methods that return a DateTime object will be in UTC.

Breaking changes from KosherJava

  • AstronomicalCalendar.getTemporalHour() returns null instead of Long.MIN_VALUE if the calculations cannot be completed.
  • JS/TS does not have a parallel to Java's Long.MIN_VALUE, so Long_MIN_VALUE is set to NaN.
  • The following methods are not supported:
    • AstronomicalCalendar.toString()
    • AstronomicalCalendar.toJSON() (Use ZmanimFormatter.toJSON(astronomicalCalendar) instead).
    • AstronomicalCalculator.getDefault() (Use new NOAACalculator() instead).
    • JewishCalendar.getDafYomiBavli() (Use YomiCalculator.getDafYomiBavli(jewishCalendar) instead).
    • JewishCalendar.getDafYomiYerushalmi() (Use YerushalmiYomiCalculator.getDafYomiYerushalmi(jewishCalendar) instead).
    • Time.toString() (Use new ZmanimFormatter(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")).format(time) instead).
    • ZmanimFormatter.toXML()
  • Some method signatures are different, due to the differences between Java and JS.
  • The Zman class uses public members instead of getters and setters.
