calendar.js

works in browser and node environment

a function that returns chosen month in array

Motivation

A bare minimum calendar that could be used to render UI from the array. I made this to create a bare bone month view for my personal project in React

react components coming soon

How to use

// if no arguments provided, the function defaults to current month and year
var config = {
	month: 8,
	year: 2016,
	startDay: 0 // equivalent to Sunday
}
var cal = calendar(config);
console.log(cal)
// {
//  data: [
//    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7],
//    [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
//    [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21],
//    [22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28],
//    [29, 30, 31, 0, 0, 0, 0]
//  ],
//  dayNumber: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0],
//  month: 8,
//  startDay: 0,
//  year: 2016
// }

• data is an array which contains an array in week
• dayNumber is day in number format. 0 is Sunday, 6 is Saturday. Used if you want to render the day header in month view
• month is the current month
• year is the current year
• startDay is the start day in number format

with moment.js you could convert numeral value to readable day format.

example

// cal.month = 08
moment(cal.month, 'M').format('MMMM') // August

// cal.dayNumber = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0]
var dayName = cal.dayNumber.map(function(day) {
	return moment(day, 'd').format('dddd')
})

console.log(dayName) // ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]
