monthly

A simplified way to show a calendar month in any console.

API / Signature

The exported module is a function that accepts an object with the following properties:

• date: the mandatory date object to use in order to display the month
• startDay: the optional day of the week to use as starting day, by default it's 1 (Monday)
• freeDay: one or more optional days of the week to consider free, by default [0, 6] (Sunday, Saturday)
• locale: the optional locale to use, by default en
• table: an optional boolean value to indicate the layout should be a proper table, by default it's false
• year: an optional boolean value to indicate if the month name should be followed the date year, by default it's false
• highlight: an optional day of the month, eventually as list, to highlight. By default it's the current date.
• blink: an optional day of the month, eventually as list, to show blinking, where possible. By default it's an empty list
• bold: an optional day of the month, eventually as list, to show as bold, where possible. By default it's an empty list
• dim: an optional day of the month, eventually as list, to show dimmed, where possible. By default it's an empty list
• underline: an optional day of the month, eventually as list, to show underlined, where possible. By default it's an empty list

About Days

The date.getDay() method returns 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, and all other days 'till 6 for Saturday.

Both startDay and freeDay use this numeric convention for days of the week, but every other property uses the actual day of the month, which is never 0 or greater than 31.

You can also pass just dates objects for every other field that is not startDay or freeDay, the function will convert those automatically.

Usage Example

// import monthly from 'monthly';
// or ...
var monthly = require('monthly');

var rows = monthly({
  date: new Date,
  startDay: 1,
  freeDay: [0, 6],
  locale: 'en',
  highlight: [3, 9, 11, 20],
  blink: 9,
  bold: 10,
  dim: 28,
  underline: 12,
  table: false,
  year: false
});

console.log(rows.join('\n'));

Please note the function returns an array, so that it's possible to stack more months per row as shown via npm test.
