Find if a date is a holiday, use the isAHoliday method. If no argument is provided, defaults to the current date:

const { isAHoliday } = require("rwa-holidays");

const options = {
  utc: false
};
const isAHoliday = isAHoliday(my_date, options);
// Returns true or false

For holidays that fall on Saturdays holidays are shifted to Friday:

const { isAHoliday } = require("rwa-holidays");
console.log(isHoliday(new Date("2010-12-25"))); // False
console.log(isHoliday(new Date("2010-12-24"))); // True

For holidays that fall on Sundays holidays are shifted to Monday:

const { isAHoliday } = require("rwa-holidays");
console.log(isHoliday(new Date("2005-12-25"))); // False
console.log(isHoliday(new Date("2005-12-26"))); // True
