View Source Cldr.Calendar behaviour (Cldr Calendars v1.22.0)

Calendar functions for calendars compatible with Elixir's Calendar behaviour.

Cldr.Calendar supports the creation of calendars that are variations on the proleptic Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian calendar. It also adds additional functions, defined by the Cldr.Calendar behaviour, to support these derived calendars.

The common purpose of these derived calendars is to support the creation and use of financial year calendars that are commonly used in business.

There are two general types of calendars supported:

month calendars that mirror the monthly structure of the proleptic Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian calendar but which are deemed to start the year in a month other than January.
week calendars that are defined to have a 52 week structure (53 weeks in a long year). These calendars can be configured to start or end on the first, last or nearest day to the beginning or end of a Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian month. The main intent behind this structure is to have each year start and end on the same day of the week with a consistent 13-week quarterly structure than enables a more straight forware comparison with same-period-last-year financial performance.

notes
Notes

The overwhelming majority of territories have :gregorian as their first preferred calendar and therefore Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian or a derivation of it will be returned for most territories.

Returning any other calendar module would require:

That another calendar is preferred over :gregorian for a territory
That a calendar module is available to support that calendar.

As an example, Iran (territory :IR) prefers the :persian calendar. If the optional library ex_cldr_calendars_persian is installed, the calendar module Cldr.Calendar.Persian will be returned. If it is not installed, Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian will be returned as :gregorian is the second preference for :IR.

calendar_year(date)

new(calendar_module, calendar_type, config)

  {:ok, calendar()} | {:module_already_exists, module()}

Creates a new calendar based upon the provided configuration.

If a module exists with the calendar_module name then it is returned, not recreated.

arguments
Arguments

calendar_module is am atom representing the module name of the created calendar.
calendar_type is an atom of either :month or :week indicating which type of calendar is to be created
config is a Keyword list defining the configuration of the calendar.

returns
Returns

{:ok, module} where module is the new calendar module that conforms to the Calendar and Cldr.Calendar behaviours or
{:module_already_exists, module} if a module of the given calendar name already exists. It is not guaranteed that the module is in fact a calendar module in this case.

configuration-options
Configuration options

The following options can be provided to create a new calendar.

:cldr_backend defines a default backend module to be used for this calendar. The default is nil.
:weeks_in_month defines the layout of weeks in a quarter for a week- or month- based calendar. The value must be one of [4, 4, 5], [4,5,4] or [5,4,4]. The default is [4,4,5]. This option is ignored for :month based calendars that have the parameter day_of_year: :first.
:begins_or_ends determines whether the calendar year begins or ends on the given :day_of_week and :month_of_year. The default is :begins.
:first_or_last determines whether the calendar year starts (or ends) on the first, last or nearest :day-of_week and :month_of_year. The default is :first
:day_of_week determines the day of the week on which this calendar begins or ends. It may be a number in the range 1..7 representing Monday to Sunday. It may also be :first indicating the the weeks are calculated from the first day of the calendar day irrespective of the day of the week. In this case the last week of the year may be less than 7 days in length. The default is 1.
:month_of_year determines the Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian month of year in which this calendar begins or ends. The default is 1.
:year is used to determine which calendar Greogian year is applicable for a given calendar date. The valid options are :first, :last and majority. The default is :majority.
:min_days_in_first_week is used to determine how many days of the Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian year must be in the first week of a calendar year. This is used when determining when the year starts for week-based years. The default is 4 which is consistent with the ISO Week calendar

examples
Examples

Each calendar has a function __config__/0 generated within it and therefore the configuration of the included calendars in ex_cldr_calendars provide insight into the behaviour of the configuration parameters.

As an example here we define the ISO Week calendar calendar in full:

defmodule ISOWeek do
  use Cldr.Calendar.Base.Week,
    day_of_week: 1,              # Weeks begin or end on Monday
    month_of_year: 1,            # Years begin or end in January
    min_days_in_first_week, 4,   # 4 Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian days of the year must be in the first week
    begins_or_ends: :begins,     # The year *begins* on the `day_of_week` and `month_of_year`
    first_or_last: :first,       # They year *begins* on the *first* `day_of_week` and `month_of_year`
    weeks_in_month: [4, 4, 5],   # The weeks are laid out as *months* in a `[4,4,5]` pattern
    year: :majority,             # Any given year is that in which the majority of Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian months fall
    cldr_backend: nil,           # No default `cldr_backend` is configured.
    locale: nil                  # No `locale` is used to aid configuration
end

This can be generated at runtime by:

    iex> Cldr.Calendar.new ISOWeek, :week,
    ...>   day_of_week: 1,
    ...>   month_of_year: 1,
    ...>   min_days_in_first_week: 4,
    ...>   begins_or_ends: :begins,
    ...>   first_or_last: :first,
    ...>   weeks_in_month: [4, 4, 5],
    ...>   year: :majority,
    ...>   cldr_backend: nil
    {:ok, ISOWeek}

Note that Cldr.Calendar.ISOWeek is included as part of this library.

next(date_or_date_range, date_part, options \\ [])

arguments
Arguments

year_of_era(date)

@spec year_of_era(Date.t()) :: {Calendar.day(), Calendar.era()}

Returns the {year_of_era, era} for a date.

This function differs slightly from Date.year_of_era/1. See the notes below

arguments
Arguments

date is any Date.t()

returns
Returns

a the year since the start of the era and the era of the year as a tuple

notes
Notes

Unlike Date.year_of_era/1, this function supports eras that change part way through the calendar year. This is common in the Japanese calendar where the eras change when a new emperor is ordained which can happen at any time of year. Therefore this function is consistent with Date.year_of_era/1 for the Gregorian and related calendars, but returns a different (and more accurate) result for the Japanese calendar.
This is also true for fiscal year calendars that start on a day other than January 1st. The year of era will depend on whether the calendar was configured with year: :beginning, year: :ending or year: :majority

examples
Examples

iex> Cldr.Calendar.year_of_era ~D[2019-01-01]
{2019, 1}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.year_of_era Cldr.Calendar.first_day_of_year(2019, Cldr.Calendar.NRF)
{2019, 1}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.year_of_era Cldr.Calendar.last_day_of_year(2019, Cldr.Calendar.NRF)
{2019, 1}
