Feiertage.js

Feiertage.js is a small npm module to calculate German holidays for each Bundesland.

Installation

• yarn: yarn add feiertagejs
• npm: npm install feiertagejs
• bower: bower install feiertagejs
• Plain old Javascript as a download (v1.2.2)

This package provides two bundles:

• an UMD bundle (default, for Node.js and direct usage in the browser)
• ES Modules (automatically picked up by ES module-aware tools like Webpack, Rollup)

Quick Examples

ES Modules

import { getHolidays, isHoliday, isSpecificHoliday } from 'feiertagejs';

const today = new Date();

console.log(isHoliday(today, 'BW'));
// probably false, because you are working ;)

// check if a day is a specific holiday:
console.log(isSpecificHoliday(today, 'CHRISTIHIMMELFAHRT'));

// get all holiday for a single year: getHolidays()
// returns an array of objects [ {name: '', date: ''} ,...]

const holidays2018 = getHolidays('2018','BUND');

console.log('date', holidays2018[0].date); // = Date("2018-01-01");
console.log('name', holidays2018[0].name); // 'NEUJAHRSTAG' (constant)
console.log('translation', holidays2018[0].trans()); // German translation: Neujahrstag
console.log('equals?', holidays2018[0].equals(date)); // Compare days only (ignore time)

Usage in Node.js

var feiertagejs = require('feiertagejs');

var today = new Date();

console.log(feiertagejs.isHoliday(today, 'BW'));
// probably false, because you are working ;)

// check if a day is a specific holiday:
console.log(feiertagejs.isSpecificHoliday(today, 'CHRISTIHIMMELFAHRT'));

// get all holiday for a single year: getHolidays()
// returns an array of objects [ {name: '', date: ''} ,...]

var holidays2018 = feiertagejs.getHolidays('2018', 'BUND');

console.log('date', holidays2018[0].date); // = Date("2018-01-01");
console.log('name', holidays2018[0].name); // 'NEUJAHRSTAG' (constant)
console.log('translation', holidays2018[0].trans()); // German translation: Neujahrstag
console.log('equals?', holidays2018[0].equals(date)); // Compare days only (ignore time)
