|
5 | ## Note (Feb 2022)
|
6 |
|
7 | If you just need to display date and time in Persian calendar, you may use `Intl` which is ECMAScript Internationalization API with a [very good browser support](https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_intl_datetimeformat_format). For example:
|
8 |
|
9 | ```js
|
10 | const d = new Date(2022,2,21)
|
11 |
|
12 | // Simple format
|
13 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('fa-IR').format(d));
|
14 | // => ۱۴۰۱/۱/۱
|
15 |
|
16 | // Full long format
|
17 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('fa-IR', {dateStyle: 'full', timeStyle: 'long'}).format(d));
|
18 | // => ۱۴۰۱ فروردین ۱, دوشنبه، ساعت ۰:۰۰:۰۰ (+۳:۳۰ گرینویچ)
|
19 |
|
20 | // Latin numbers
|
21 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('fa-IR-u-nu-latn', {dateStyle: 'full', timeStyle: 'long'}).format(d));
|
22 | // => 1401 فروردین 1, دوشنبه، ساعت 0:00:00 (+3:30 گرینویچ)
|
23 |
|
24 | // English US locale with Persian calendar
|
25 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US-u-ca-persian', {dateStyle: 'full', timeStyle: 'long'}).format(d));
|
26 | // => Monday, Farvardin 1, 1401 AP at 12:00:00 AM GMT+3:30
|
27 |
|
28 | // Just year
|
29 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US-u-ca-persian', {year: 'numeric'}).format(d));
|
30 | // => 1401 AP
|
31 |
|
32 | // Just month
|
33 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US-u-ca-persian', {month: 'short'}).format(d));
|
34 | // Farvardin
|
35 |
|
36 | // Just day
|
37 | console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US-u-ca-persian', {day: 'numeric'}).format(d));
|
38 | // => 1
|
39 | ```
|
40 |
|
41 | > **Notice**: the current implementation of `jalaali-js` algorithms diverge from the `Intl` API results after the Gregorian year 2256 (or Jalali year 1634) due to different approaches to calculating the leap years. However, this shouldn't affect the usage of the library, as the results are the same from 1800 to 2256.

43 | ## About
|
44 |
|
45 | Jalali calendar is a solar calendar that was used in Persia, variants of which today are still in use in Iran as well as Afghanistan. [Read more on Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalali_calendar) or see [Calendar Converter](http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/).
|
46 |
|
47 | Calendar conversion is based on the [algorithm provided by Kazimierz M. Borkowski](http://www.astro.uni.torun.pl/~kb/Papers/EMP/PersianC-EMP.htm) and has a very good performance.
