⚠️ bc-holiday.js is still in development! Please let me know in the Issues tab if you encounter any issues or would like holidays added to the list.
Include the JS library in your HTML documents like this:
<script src="script/bc-holiday.js"></script>Or use the URL to the file in the GitHub repo:
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Best-Codes/bc-holiday.js/main/bc-holiday.js"></script>Example: Returns the holidays for the current day
const holidaysToday = bcHoliday.getHolidaysOn(new Date());
console.log(holidaysToday);
/*Write the days holidays to the console as an array*/[]Example: Get the holidays in November
Note that JavaScript is 0 based, so November, the 11th month, is 10 in JS
const holidaysThisMonth = bcHoliday.getHolidaysInRange(new Date(2023, 10, 1), new Date(2023, 10, 30));
console.log(holidaysThisMonth);
/*Write the days holidays to the console as an array*/{"11-01":["All Saints' Day"],"11-11":["Veterans Day"],"11-23":["Thanksgiving"]}Example: Show the holidays for November on an HTML page
