Readme
nextday helps you find week-days.
You give the library a date and an optional number of days, and it returns to you a date of a week-day that fits your criteria. This ultra lightweight library has no dependencies.
- What is the next week-day from today?
- What is the 3rd week-day from today?
- What is 20th week-day from today?
- What is the 7th week-day from yesterday?
- What is the 1st week-day from December 31st?
The library accounts for week-ends, months and years...but not holidays (yet).
I did not intend to build this library. I was building my company website http://nycode.co, and just wanted to display the second business day from the current day on the page. Sounds simple enough right?
I expected it would take me 30 mins to get that task done, and here we are with this library instead.
What might you use this for?
A couple examples of what you might use this for:
- Finding a date that's on a week-day for people trying to schedule a meeting
- A reminder app where reminders happen on week-days only
Usage
What is the next week-day from today?
var nextDay = require("nextday-js");
var day = nextDay.next(new Date());
What is the 3rd week-day from today?
day = nextDay.next(new Date(), 3);
What is the 7th week-day from September 9th, 2016?
day = nextDay.next(new Date("9/9/2016"), 7);
What is the 1st week-day from December 31st, 2016?
day = nextDay.next(new Date("12/31/2016"));
