Parse and interact with jalali date
This lib inspired by moment-jalaali
Thanks to all contributors

Why jalali-ts?

You may ask yourself we already have moment-jalaali which is even more powerful in some cases!

So why jalali-ts?
Because moment is a legacy project and according to its document you should avoid using it in the new projects!

Pros:

• No dependencies!
• TypeScript
• Modern JavaScript (ES2020)

Cons:

• Limitation for parsing input date
• Limitation for output format

Install

npm install jalali-ts

Supported formats

• YYYY year
• MM month
• DD date
• HH hours (standard 24h)
• hh hours (12h format)
• mm minutes
• ss seconds
• SSS milliseconds
• a meridian (am, pm)
• A meridian (AM, PM)

import { Jalali } from 'jalali-ts';

Jalali.now().format('YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss A');

Parse date

To parse a jalali date you should follow year month date [hours minutes seconds ms] pattern:

import { Jalali } from 'jalali-ts';

const jalali = Jalali.parse('1398/12/04');

jalali.valueOf(); // 1582403400000
jalali.gregorian(); // 2020-02-23 00:00:00
jalali.toString(); // 1398/12/04 00:00:00
jalali.isLeapYear(); // false
jalali.monthLength(); // 29
jalali.add(2, 'month').add(1, 'week'); // 1399/02/11 00:00:00
jalali.startOf('week'); // 1399/02/06 00:00:00
jalali.dayOfYear(); // 37
jalali.endOf('year'); // 1399/12/30 23:59:59
jalali.isLeapYear(); // true
jalali.add(1, 'day').startOf('day'); // 1400/01/01 00:00:00

const dateTime = Jalali.parse('1398/12/04 02:30:07:05 PM');
dateTime.valueOf(); // 1582455607050
dateTime.getHours(); // 14
dateTime.getMinutes(); // 30
dateTime.getSeconds(); // 7
dateTime.getMilliseconds(); // 50
dateTime.gregorian('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS'); // 2020-02-23 14:30:07.050

const dateTimeNoMilliseconds = Jalali.parse('1398/12/04 02:30:07:05 PM', false);
dateTimeNoMilliseconds.valueOf(); // 1582455607000
dateTimeNoMilliseconds.getMilliseconds(); // 0
dateTimeNoMilliseconds.gregorian('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS'); // 2020-02-23 14:30:07.000

Time Zone

If you rely on timestamp please make sure your environment time zone is correct:

process.env.TZ = 'UTC'; // The default time zone for servers!
+Jalali.parse('1399-02-02 08:30:00 PM'); // 1587501000000

process.env.TZ = 'Asia/Tehran';
+Jalali.parse('1399-02-02 08:30:00 PM'); // 1587484800000

As you can see there is 16200000 ms offset (UTC+04:30) for a same datetime string!
jalali-ts checks your system time zone and if it's not equal to Jalali.defaultTimeZone = 'Asia/Tehran' it will print a warning about it.
To disable time zone check:

Jalali.checkTimeZone = false;

If you want to change time zone value:

Jalali.timeZone = 'Asia/Kabul';

Note
If running env is node Jalali.timeZone = 'value'
Will change system time zone!
If you don't want jalali-ts touch your system time zone (node process):

Jalali.setTimeZone = false;
