Rather than listing all of the holidays here, to see available holidays, view the source of the locale file.
Easter related holidays for any locale will only be available if the Easter locale has been added. It's automatically added if you are using Node. (You can still easily add them in even when not using Node. See: Modifying Holidays)
Modifying Holidays
You can add and remove holidays by using the following helper functions:
Note: Helper functions can be chained.
modifyHolidays.set
Sets the holidays to be used.
moment.modifyHolidays.set(['New Years Day', 'Memorial Day', 'Thanksgiving']);
moment().holidays();
moment.modifyHolidays.set({
"My Birthday": {
date: '11/17',
keywords: ['my', 'birthday']
},
"Last Friday of the year": {
date: '12/(5,-1)',
keywords_y: ['friday']
}
});
moment().holidays();
modifyHolidays.add
Adds holiday(s) to the holidays being used.
moment.modifyHolidays.add({
"Inauguration Day": {
date: '1/20',
keywords_y: ['inauguration']
}
});
moment().holiday('Inauguration');
modifyHolidays.remove
Removes holiday(s) from the holidays being used.
moment.modifyHolidays.remove('Christmas');
moment.modifyHolidays.remove(['Dad Day', 'Mom Day', 'Saint Paddys Day']);
modifyHolidays.undo
Sets the holidays being used back to the way they were before they were last changed.
moment.modifyHolidays.set(['Christmas', 'Thanksgiving', 'Mothers Day', 'Fathers Day']);
moment().holidays();
moment.modifyHolidays.remove(['Thanksgiving', 'Christmas']);
moment().holidays();
moment.modifyHolidays.undo();
moment().holidays();
Adding/Setting Locales/Regions
You can also use these functions to set or add holidays from an available locale file:
moment.modifyHolidays.set('Canada').add('Easter');
moment('2001-12-26').isHoliday('Boxing Day');
moment.modifyHolidays.add('Easter').remove('Good Friday');
moment().holiday(['Easter Sunday', 'Good Friday']);
You use these same functions to specify regions to add:
moment.modifyHolidays.set('Germany/SN');
moment('2017-11-22').isHoliday();
moment.modifyHolidays.set('Canada/QC/ON');
moment().holidays(['boxing', 'baptiste']);
You can also cherry-pick the holidays you want from a locale by passing a string or an array of strings as the second parameter:
moment.modifyHolidays.add('Easter', ['ascension', 'pentecost']);
moment().holiday(['ascension', 'pentecost']);
moment.modifyHolidays.add('Germany/BB', 'Ostersonntag');
moment('2001-09-14').isHoliday();
Note: If you're not using Node (or anything that doesn't support the require
function), you'll need to make sure that you include the locale file(s) that you're trying to use. For example:
<script src="./moment-holiday/locale/canada.js"></script>
<script src="./moment-holiday/locale/easter.js"></script>
<script>
moment.modifyHolidays.set('Canada').add('Easter');
moment('2001-12-26').isHoliday('Boxing Day');
</script>
Holiday Objects
Holiday objects accept the following options:
-
date (Required) - The date of the holiday in the format of Month/Day
. A day wrapped in parentheses ()
means a specific day of the week and expects two values separated by a comma ,
. The first part is the day of the week as recognized by moment().day() (0=Sunday, 6=Saturday). The second part (optional) is the 1-indexed index of that day of week unless separated by brackets []
which means "The weekday on or before/after this day". Two dates separated by a vertical bar |
means a date range. You may also specific a 4-digit year by adding an additional /
after the day.
Examples:
5/20
- The 20th of May.7/(1,3)
- The third Monday of July.3/(4,-1)
- The last Thursday of March.6/(2,[16])
- The Tuesday on or after the 16th of June.11/(5,[-9])
- The Friday on or before the 9th of November.8/21|9/4
- The 21st of August through the 4th of September.11
- The 11th of every month of the year.(0)
- Every Sunday of the year.(6,-2)
- The second to last Friday of every month of the year.10/(3)
- Every Wednesday in October.12/7/2014
- December 7th, 2014.(6)/2014
- Every Saturday of the year 2014.2/(1,1)|5/(5,-1)
- The first Monday of February through the last Friday of May.4/(3,[-11])|5/(0,1)
- The Wednesday on or before the 11th of March through the first Sunday of May.
-
keywords - An array of optional keywords.
-
keywords_y - An array of required keywords.
-
keywords_n - An array of banned keywords.
-
regions - An array of region abbreviations that the holiday is celebrated in. Basically a white-list.
-
regions_n - An array of region abbreviations that the holiday is NOT celebrated in. Basically a black-list.
RegEx can be used in keywords. For example, st[\\s\\.]
will match St Jean
and St. Patrick
, but not Christmas
and x-?mas
will match xmas
and x-mas
.
View the source of moment-holiday.js for a better look at how the keywords work.
modifyHolidays.extendParser
This is a handy little function that allows you to extend the functionality of the date parser. It accepts a single function as a variable that gets passed a moment object and the date string as variables. It can return a single moment object, an array of moment objects, false
to bail on parsing, or nothing at all to continue with the default parser.
Example:
moment.modifyHolidays.add({
"Friday The Thirteenth": {
date: 'fridaythethirteenth',
keywords_y: ['friday'],
keywords: ['thirteen', '13', 'the']
}
}).extendParser(function(m, date){
if (date === 'fridaythethirteenth') {
var days = [];
for (i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
var d = moment(m).month(i).date(13);
if (d.day() === 5) { days.push(moment(d)); }
}
if (!days.length) { return false; }
return days;
}
});
moment().holiday('Friday 13th');
You can also see how we take advantage of this by viewing the source of locale/easter.js.
Locales
Locale files are simply files that add holidays and special holiday parsing functionality for other countries. They are all located in the locale/
folder.
Pull Requests will be accepted (and encouraged!) but must meet the following guidelines:
- Must contain a
moment.holidays.[locale]
object matching the filename all in lowercase.
- Example:
locale/japan.js
would need to have moment.holidays.japan
in it. - Invalid:
local/Japan.js
or moment.holidays.Japan
- Must pass
npm test
.
See the source of locale/canada.js and locale/easter.js for good examples of locale files.
