Quick Example

import { toHijri, toGregorian, formatHijriDate } from 'luxon-hijri';

// Gregorian to Hijri
const h = toHijri(new Date(2023, 2, 23, 12));
// { hy: 1444, hm: 9, hd: 1 }  →  1 Ramadan 1444

// Hijri to Gregorian
const g = toGregorian(1444, 9, 1);
// Date: 2023-03-23T00:00:00.000Z

// Format
formatHijriDate({ hy: 1444, hm: 9, hd: 1 }, 'iEEEE, iD iMMMM iYYYY ioooo');
// "Yawm al-Khamis, 1 Ramadan 1444 AH"

Key Facts

  • Two calendars: Umm al-Qura (default, table-based, 13181500 H) and FCNA/ISNA (astronomical, all years)
  • FCNA criterion: conjunction before 12:00 UTC → month starts D+1, else D+2 (Meeus Ch.49 algorithm)
  • Zero runtime dependencies beyond Luxon
  • Synchronous: no async, no loading delay
  • Dual CJS and ESM, full TypeScript definitions
  • Weekday format bug from v1 is fixed in v2 (weekday tokens now use correct Gregorian conversion)
