ngComputus


This library calculates the date of the Easter full moon in any given year. The return object provides both Gregorian and Julian reckonings.
The Gregorian calendar came into use in 1582 but the algorithm can still be used in to calculate what Easter _would_ have been in pre-1582 years.
The Julian calendar is recommended for pre-1582 dates to give a historically accurate date for the celebration of Easter.

Installation

npm install -s ng-computus

Usage

The library has a single constructor to build a computus object containing both calendar reckonings.

Computus(2000) returns a object with the following structure:

``
{
gregorian: { ... }
julian: { ... }
}
`
Both the gregorian and julian objects have identical structures with the following properties:

#### dominicalLetter
Dominical letters or Sunday letters are a method used to determine the day of the week for particular dates. When using this method, each year is assigned a letter (or pair of letters for leap years) depending on which day of the week the year starts on.
#### easterFullMoon
The calendar reckoning of the date of the Easter full moon. To maximise portability with different Datetime libraries this is returned as an array representation in the form [day, month, year]
#### easterSunday
The calendar reckoning of the date of Easter Sunday. To maximise portability with different Datetime libraries this is returned as an array representation in the form [day, month, year]
#### goldenNumber
The number assigned to each year in sequence to indicate the year's position in a 19-year Metonic cycle.
#### martyrologyLetter
The Martyrology letter of the given year. It is used to indicate the order of saints and feast dates that year.
#### solarCycle
The solar cycle or solar magnetic activity cycle is the nearly periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity and appearance. This is represented as a number between 1 and 11.

Dependencies

#### Node/NPM
Install latest Node and NPM following the instructions. Make sure you have Node version ≥ 7.0 and NPM ≥ 4.

#### Yarn
Yarn package manager is optional but highly recommended. If you prefer to work with npm directly you may ignore this step.

Yarn installs library dependencies faster and also locks theirs versions. It has more advantages but these two are already pretty attractive.

Install Yarn by following the instructions.

Installing


clone this repository your local environment.

yarn install to install required dependencies (or npm i).

Build the library


yarn build for building the library once (both ESM and AOT versions).

yarn build:watch for building the library (both ESM and AOT versions) and watch for file changes.

You may also build UMD bundle and ESM files separately:

yarn build:esm - for building AOT/JIT compatible versions of files.

yarn build:esm:watch - the same as previous command but in watch-mode.

yarn build:umd - for building UMD bundle only.

yarn build:umd:watch - the same as previous command but in watch-mode.

Other commands

#### Linting
yarn lint for performing static code analysis.

#### Testing
yarn test for running all your *.spec.ts tests once. Generated code coverage report may be found in coverage folder.

yarn test:watch for running all you *.spec.ts and watch for file changes.

#### Documentation
yarn docs for generating documentation locally.

yarn gh-pages for generating documentation and uploading it to GitHub Pages. Documentation example.

#### Explore the bundle
yarn explorer to find out where all your code in bundle is coming from.

#### Bump library version
npm version patch to increase library version. More on bumping.

preversion script in this case will automatically run project testing and linting in prior in order to check that the library is ready for publishing.

#### Publish library to NPM
npm publish to publish your library sources on npmjs.com. Once the library is published it will be available for usage in npm packages.

prepublishOnly script in this case will automatically run project testing and linting in prior in order to check that the library is ready for publishing.

#### Cleaning
yarn clean:tmp command will clean up all temporary files like docs, dist, coverage etc.

yarn clean:all command will clean up all temporary files along with node_modules` folder.
