Zero-dependency Hijri calendar engine. Supports the Umm al-Qura (UAQ) and FCNA/ISNA calendars out of the box. Extensible via a calendar registry for custom implementations.
## Installation
```bash
npm install hijri-core
# or
pnpm add hijri-core
```
## Quick Start
```typescript
import { toHijri, toGregorian, isValidHijriDate, daysInHijriMonth } from 'hijri-core';
// Gregorian to Hijri (UAQ, default)
const hijri = toHijri(new Date(2025, 2, 1));
// { hy: 1446, hm: 9, hd: 1 }
// Hijri to Gregorian (UAQ)
const greg = toGregorian(1446, 9, 1);
// Date: 2025-03-01
// FCNA/ISNA calendar
const hijriFcna = toHijri(new Date('2025-03-01'), { calendar: 'fcna' });
const gregFcna = toGregorian(1446, 9, 1, { calendar: 'fcna' });
// Validation and month length
isValidHijriDate(1444, 9, 1); // true
daysInHijriMonth(1444, 9); // 29
```
### Custom Calendar
```typescript
import { registerCalendar, toHijri, type CalendarEngine } from 'hijri-core';
const myEngine: CalendarEngine = {
id: 'my-calendar',
toHijri: (date) => {
/* your logic */ return { hy: 1446, hm: 1, hd: 1 };
},
toGregorian: (hy, hm, hd) => {
/* your logic */ return new Date();
},
isValid: (hy, hm, hd) => hy > 0 && hm >= 1 && hm <= 12 && hd >= 1,
daysInMonth: (hy, hm) => 30,
};
registerCalendar('my-calendar', myEngine);
const result = toHijri(new Date(), { calendar: 'my-calendar' });
```
## API
### Conversion functions
| Function | Parameters | Returns | Notes |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `toHijri(date, opts?)` | `Date`, `ConversionOptions?` | `HijriDate \| null` | Throws on invalid Date |
| `toGregorian(hy, hm, hd, opts?)` | `number, number, number, ConversionOptions?` | `Date \| null` | Returns null on invalid input |
| `isValidHijriDate(hy, hm, hd, opts?)` | `number, number, number, ConversionOptions?` | `boolean` | |
| `daysInHijriMonth(hy, hm, opts?)` | `number, number, ConversionOptions?` | `number` | |
`ConversionOptions.calendar` defaults to `'uaq'`. Pass `'fcna'` or any registered calendar name.
### Registry functions
| Function | Parameters | Returns |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------- |
| `registerCalendar(name, engine)` | `string, CalendarEngine` | `void` |
| `getCalendar(name)` | `string` | `CalendarEngine` |
| `listCalendars()` | none | `string[]` |
### Data exports
| Export | Type | Description |
| ------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `hDatesTable` | `HijriYearRecord[]` | Full Umm al-Qura reference table (184 entries) |
| `hmLong` | `string[]` | Long month names (e.g., "Ramadan") |
| `hmMedium` | `string[]` | Medium month names (e.g., "Ramadan") |
| `hmShort` | `string[]` | Short month names (e.g., "Ram") |
| `hwLong` | `string[]` | Long weekday names |
| `hwShort` | `string[]` | Short weekday names |
| `hwNumeric` | `number[]` | Weekday numbers (1 = Sunday) |
## Custom Calendars
Implement the `CalendarEngine` interface to add any calendar system:
```typescript
interface CalendarEngine {
readonly id: string;
toHijri(date: Date): HijriDate | null;
toGregorian(hy: number, hm: number, hd: number): Date | null;
isValid(hy: number, hm: number, hd: number): boolean;
daysInMonth(hy: number, hm: number): number;
}
```
Register with `registerCalendar('my-id', myEngine)`. Then pass `{ calendar: 'my-id' }` to any conversion function.
## Architecture
The UAQ engine performs a binary search over the 184-entry table — O(log 183) per conversion. The FCNA engine computes new moon times using the Meeus Ch. 49 algorithm (3 to 5 trigonometric evaluations per call). The registry pattern lets any consumer add custom calendar systems at runtime without modifying the core.
For more detail see the [Architecture wiki page](https://github.com/acamarata/hijri-core/wiki/Architecture).
## Compatibility
