HijriDate

Overview :

• hijri-date provides HijriDate class which is the appropriate class to handle hijri dates like the built-in Date is the appropriate class to handle gregorian dates.

• HijriDate class shared almost the same interface with Date class :

• getFullYear
• getDate (day of month)
• getDay (day index of week)
• getHours
• ...

• Works on client-side (browser) and server-side (NodeJS apps).

Install

npm install hijri-date --save;

or

<script src="https://rawgit.com/abdennour/hijri-date/master/cdn/hijri-date-latest.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>

Examples :

ES7 or after :

 import 'hijri-date';

 const today = new HijriDate();
 const day_eid_adha = new HijriDate(1438, 12, 10); // عيد الأضحى لسنة 1438
 const dayGreg = day_eid_adha.toGregorian()  ;
 //  Fri Sep 01 2017 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (AST)
//------ Convert from Gregorian to Hijri---------
 const nowGreg = new Date();
 const nowHijri = nowGreg.toHijri();     

If you want to work safety, use hijri-date/lib/safe as following :

import HijriDate,{toHijri} from 'hijri-date/lib/safe';

const today = new HijriDate();
const day_eid_adha = new HijriDate(1438, 12, 10); // عيد الأضحى لسنة 1438
const dayGreg = day_eid_adha.toGregorian()  ;
//  Fri Sep 01 2017 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (AST)
//------ Convert from Gregorian to Hijri---------
const nowGreg = new Date();
const nowHijri = toHijri(nowGreg);

ES6 or before :

 require('hijri-date')
 // then HijriDate class will be public as Date class .
// then, the same as above (see ES7 )
//....

• safe import :

 const hijriSafe= require('hijri-date/lib/safe');
 const HijriDate =  hijriSafe.default;
 const toHijri   = hijriSafe.toHijri;
// then, the same as above (see ES7 safe)
const today = new HijriDate();
const day_eid_adha = new HijriDate(1438, 12, 10); // عيد الأضحى لسنة 1438
//......
