README

Holidays project will solve you a problem of calculating holidays. No matter if they are fixed dates, floating dates or dates that depends of some other holiday. This library was developed in need for holiday calculation that is not fixed to specific country as almost any other library out there is.

Note that library does not support holidays lasting more than 1 day.

And it's easy to use:

use \Robier\Holiday\Holidays;

$holidays = new Holidays();
$holidays->registerFixed('new_year', 1, 1);
$holidays->registerFloating('us_labour_day', 'first Monday of September');
$holidays->register('easter', new Holidays\Easter());
// Ascension of Jesus accords 40 days after easter
$holidays->registerDependent('ascension_of_jesus', 'easter', 40);

// true if there is a holiday on that date, false otherwise
var_dump($holidays->isHolidayOn(1, 1, 2030));

// gets HolidayData object if holiday exists on that date, null otherwise
var_dump($holidays->getHolidayOn(1, 1, 2030));

// true if there is any holidays in that period, false otherwise
var_dump($holidays->areAnyHolidaysBetween('2018-07-04', '2018-09-15'));

// gets array of holidays for range
var_dump($holidays->getHolidaysBetween('2018-07-04', '2018-09-15'));

// array of all holidays
var_dump($holidays->getAllHolidaysFor(2015));

Also we really discourage use of timestamps with this library, we do not like them because they are really not precise with time zones and how PHP deals with them :)

Features

• you can register 3 types of dates:
  • fixed where a holiday's date is always fixed (like new year)
  • floating where a holiday's date is not fixed (like easter)
  • dependant where one holiday depends upon some other holiday (it's x days before or after "main" holiday)
• you can check if holiday exists providing date
• also you can get holiday by providing date
• you can check if there are any holidays in date range
• also you can get holidays by providing date range
• you can get all holidays for specified year
• you can make you own holiday class definitions by just implementing Calculable interface (it can not be dependant holiday type)
