Hijri Calendar 📅🌙

Pub Package Build Status Coverage Status License

Welcome to the Hijri Calendar library! This Dart library allows you to work with Hijri dates easily. Whether you want to create, validate, or convert Hijri dates, this library has you covered! 🎉

Features ✨

  • Create Hijri Dates: Create Hijri dates using different constructors:

    • HijriCalendarConfig.now() - Get current Hijri date
    • HijriCalendarConfig.fromGregorian() - Convert Gregorian to Hijri
    • HijriCalendarConfig.fromHijri() - Create from specific Hijri date

  • Date Conversion:

    • Convert Hijri dates to Gregorian using hijriToGregorian(year, month, day)
    • Convert Gregorian dates to Hijri using fromGregorian()

  • Calendar Configuration:

    • Set language preference (e.g., 'ar' for Arabic)
    • Support for custom date adjustments through constructor or setAdjustments() method

  • Date Utilities:

    • Get number of days in a specific Hijri month using getDaysInMonth(year, month)
    • Format Hijri dates with custom patterns using formatDate(year, month, day, pattern)

  • Validation:

    • Built-in date validation for Hijri dates
    • Supported Gregorian date range validation (1937-2076)

Understanding Adjustments 🔧

Adjustments in Hijri Calendar are used to fine-tune the dates according to local moon sighting or specific regional differences. Here's how they work:

  1. Adjustment Format:

    • Adjustments are provided as a Map<int, int>
    • Key: Julian Day Number (JDN)
    • Value: Adjustment value (-1, 0, or 1)

  2. How to Calculate JDN:

    // Example: To calculate JDN for May 17, 2023
DateTime date = DateTime(2023, 5, 17);
int jdn = (date.millisecondsSinceEpoch / 86400000).floor() + 2440588;

  3. Setting Adjustments:

// Method 1: Through constructor
    var calendar = HijriCalendarConfig(adjustments: {
     16800: 1,  // Add one day when JDN is 16800
     16801: -1, // Subtract one day when JDN is 16801
    });

    // Method 2: Using setAdjustments method
    calendar.setAdjustments({
         16802: 1,
        16803: -1,
    });
  1. Setting Adjustments:
  • 1 : Adds one day to the calculated date
  • -1 : Subtracts one day from the calculated date
  • 0 : No adjustment needed
  1. Adjustments for Specific Month, Day, Year: To set adjustments for a specific month, day, and year, you first need to calculate the JDN for that specific date. Here's an example:
// Example: Adjusting for the 1st of Ramadan, 1444
int year = 1444;
int month = 9; // Ramadan
int day = 1;

// Calculate the JDN for the specific Hijri date
DateTime gregorianDate = HijriCalendarConfig.hijriToGregorian(year, month, day);
int jdn = (gregorianDate.millisecondsSinceEpoch / 86400000).floor() + 2440588;

// Set adjustment for that JDN
calendar.setAdjustments({
  jdn: 1, // Add one day for the 1st of Ramadan, 1444
});
  1. Use Cases:
  • Regional moon sighting differences
  • Aligning with local Islamic calendar authorities
  • Correcting calculated dates based on actual observations

Installation 📦

Usage 🚀

Here's a quick example of how to use the Hijri Calendar library:

Basic Usage


import 'package:hijri_calendar/hijri_calendar.dart';

void main() {
  // Create a HijriCalendarConfig instance for the current date
  var hijriCalendar = HijriCalendarConfig.now();
  print(hijriCalendar); // Prints the current Hijri date

  // Convert a specific Gregorian date to Hijri
  var specificDate = HijriCalendarConfig.fromGregorian(DateTime(2023, 5, 17));
  print(specificDate); // Prints the corresponding Hijri date

  // Create a Hijri date directly
  var hijriDate = HijriCalendarConfig.fromHijri(1444, 10, 27);
  print(hijriDate); // Prints the specified Hijri date

  // Convert Hijri to Gregorian
  DateTime gregorianDate = hijriDate.hijriToGregorian(1444, 10, 27);
  print(gregorianDate); // Prints the corresponding Gregorian date
}

Advanced Usage

// Set language to Arabic
HijriCalendarConfig.language = 'ar';

// Create a calendar with custom adjustments
var customCalendar = HijriCalendarConfig(adjustments: {16800: 1, 16801: -1});

// Set adjustments after initialization
var calendar = HijriCalendarConfig.now();
calendar.setAdjustments({16802: 1, 16803: -1});

// Get days in a specific Hijri month
int daysInMonth = calendar.getDaysInMonth(1444, 10);
print('Days in Shawwal 1444: $daysInMonth');

// Format a specific date
String formattedDate = calendar.formatDate(1444, 10, 27, "dd/mm/yyyy");
print('Formatted date: $formattedDate');

// NEW: Compatibility APIs
// Bridge method to add a month
var nextMonth = HijriCalendarConfig.bridgeAddMonth(1444, 11);
print('Next month: ${nextMonth.fullDate()}');

// Create from DateTime
var fromDate = HijriCalendarConfig.bridgeFromDate(DateTime.now());
print('Current date: ${fromDate.fullDate()}');

// Format Hijri date with specific pattern
var hijriDate = HijriCalendarConfig.fromHijri(1444, 10, 27);
print('Formatted: ${hijriDate.toFormat("DDDD, MMMM dd, yyyy")}');

// Get month and day names
print('Month name: ${hijriDate.getLongMonthName()}');
print('Short month: ${hijriDate.getShortMonthName()}');
print('Day name: ${hijriDate.getDayName()}');

// Date comparison methods
var compareDate = HijriCalendarConfig.fromHijri(1444, 11, 1);
print('Is before: ${hijriDate.isBefore(1444, 11, 1)}');
print('Is after: ${hijriDate.isAfter(1444, 9, 1)}');
print('Same moment: ${hijriDate.isAtSameMomentAs(1444, 10, 27)}');

// Get calendar information
var months = hijriDate.getMonths();
print('All months: $months');

// Get days in a specific month
var monthDays = hijriDate.getMonthDays(1444, 10);
print('Days in month: $monthDays');

// Convert to List format
List<int?> dateList = hijriDate.toList();
print('Date as list: $dateList'); // [1444, 10, 27]

// Get length of year
int yearLength = hijriDate.lengthOfYear();
print('Days in year: $yearLength');

// Validate dates
print('Is valid date: ${hijriDate.isValid()}');

// Add new locale
HijriCalendarConfig.addLocale('fr', {
  'long': {1: 'Mouharram', 2: 'Safar', /* ... */},
  'short': {1: 'Mou', 2: 'Saf', /* ... */},
  'days': {1: 'Lundi', /* ... */},
  'short_days': {1: 'Lun', /* ... */}
});
