🎉 Micro library to check if it's April 1st
npm install is-april-fools---
Simple utility which will return true if the current date is April 1st. This allows your app/program/script/system to do something on April fools (such as conditionally showing some April fools joke UI).
This package is available on NPM, and you can install it with npm or yarn:
``
npm install is-april-fools
yarn add is-april-fools
`
Add the -S flag if you want to save it to the "dependencies" section of your package.json.
Browser/UMD
If you want to just import this library directly in the browser, you can add the following script tag:
`html
`
This will expose a isAprilFools function in the global scope.
`js
import isAprilFools from 'is-april-fools';
if (isAprilFools()) {
console.log('🎉 Happy April Fools!');
} else {
console.log('😞 Just another boring day...');
}
``
#### Note
This package uses the current date from the machine it is running on, meaning if this is running on a server or in a lambda somewhere, you may get unexpected results or some weird edge cases.
