========

A simple implementation for the Islamic calender(Hijri) in Javascript

## The Problem

I made this project just because I did not found any correct and open source Hijri converter. Each time I try one its either stored in database and fetch the data each time or it does not give me the correct date "specially when I try before 1420H"

## Usage

### Current Day

To get Today in Hijri:

```html

	

	

	Today is: 

	

	function initWork() {

		//Today

		var todayElement = document.getElementById("today");

		todayElement.innerHTML = HijriJS.today().toString();

	}

	

```

### Conversion

To convert between Hijri and Gregorian use the ``HijriJS.toHijri(dateString, splitter)`` to convert Gregorian to Hijri 

or ``HijriJS.toGregorian(dateString, splitter)``  to convert Hijri to Gregorian where the splitter is the symbol splits the date (e.g. for 1434/1/1 is ``HijriJS.toGregorian("1434/1/1", "/")``):

```html

	

	

	

	

	  

	

	function convertToHijri() {

		var gregorianDate = document.getElementById("gregorianInput").value

		var hijriDate = document.getElementById("hijriDate");

		var date = HijriJS.toHijri(gregorianDate, "/");

		hijriDate.innerHTML = date.toString();

	}

	

```

### Formating

More advanced is to print the date with different format you can use ``date.toFormat(yourStringFormat);`` where yourStringFormat can be:

- **YYYY**: For the four digit year notation e.g. 1434.

- **YY**: For two year notation e.g. 34 of 1434.

- **mm**: For two digit month notation e.g. 03.

- **m**: For one digit month notation e.g. 3.

- **dd**: For two digit day notation.

- **d**: For one digit day notation.

- **n**: For calender notation "H for Hijri or G for Gregorian".

You can use the same example above and change it like this:

```javascript

function convertToHijri() {

	var gregorianDate = document.getElementById("gregorianInput").value

	var hijriDate = document.getElementById("hijriDate");

	var date = HijriJS.toHijri(gregorianDate, "/");

	hijriDate.innerHTML = date.toFormat("dd/mm/yyyyN");

}

```
