Basic Usage Examples

Setup

import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import hijriPlugin from 'dayjs-hijri-plus';

dayjs.extend(hijriPlugin);

Convert today's date to Hijri

const today = dayjs();
const h = today.toHijri();
// { hy: 1446, hm: 11, hd: 3 }  (example — actual output depends on today's date)

if (h !== null) {
  console.log(`${h.hd} / ${h.hm} / ${h.hy}`);
}

Convert a known Gregorian date

// 23 March 2023 = 1 Ramadan 1444 AH
const d = dayjs('2023-03-23');
const h = d.toHijri();

console.log(h?.hy); // 1444
console.log(h?.hm); // 9  (Ramadan is the 9th month)
console.log(h?.hd); // 1

Convert from Hijri to Gregorian

const gregorian = dayjs.fromHijri(1444, 9, 1);
console.log(gregorian.format('YYYY-MM-DD')); // '2023-03-23'

Hijri accessor methods

const d = dayjs('2023-03-23');

console.log(d.hijriYear());  // 1444
console.log(d.hijriMonth()); // 9
console.log(d.hijriDay());   // 1

Format with Hijri tokens

const d = dayjs('2023-03-23');

d.formatHijri('iD iMMMM iYYYY');         // '1 Ramadan 1444'
d.formatHijri('iDD/iMM/iYYYY');          // '01/09/1444'
d.formatHijri('YYYY-MM-DD');             // 'YYYY-MM-DD' — use .format() for Gregorian-only
d.formatHijri('YYYY (iYYYY/iM/iD)');     // '2023 (1444/9/1)'

Use FCNA calendar

const d = dayjs('2023-03-23');
const fcna = d.toHijri({ calendar: 'fcna' });

// Near month boundaries, UAQ and FCNA may differ by one day
console.log(fcna?.hy); // 1444
console.log(fcna?.hm); // 9
console.log(fcna?.hd); // 1 or 2 depending on the month boundary

CJS usage

const dayjs = require('dayjs');
const hijriPlugin = require('dayjs-hijri-plus');

dayjs.extend(hijriPlugin);

const d = dayjs('2023-03-23');
console.log(d.hijriYear()); // 1444
