Holiday Checker

This JavaScript code provides functionality to determine if a given date corresponds to a holiday. It supports both static holidays (such as Christmas and New Year's Day) and dynamic holidays (such as Memorial Day and Labor Day) that depend on specific occurrences and weekdays.

Code Overview

The code is structured as follows:

• The getDate() function retrieves the current date in the format "MM/DD/YYYY" and returns it as a string.

• Constants are defined for days of the week, months, and occurrences.

• The CUSTOM_DATES object stores static holidays, mapping the holiday name to the corresponding month and day.

• The HOLIDAYS object stores dynamic holidays, mapping the holiday name to an array representing the occurrence, weekday, and month of the holiday.

• Several helper functions (getMonthAWeekFromDate(), isDate(), isDay(), getRegisteredOccurrence(), getRegisteredDate(), Easter(), and padout()) are used to perform various calculations and comparisons related to dates and holidays.

• The checkHoliday() function is the main function that determines if a provided date is a holiday. It checks for Easter, dynamic holiday occurrences, and static holidays. If no holiday is found, it returns 0.

Usage

To use the holiday checker:

1. Include the provided JavaScript code in your project.

2. Call the checkHoliday(date) function, passing a date object as the date parameter.

3. The function will return the name of the holiday corresponding to the given date, or 0 if it is not a holiday.

Example

const currentDate = getDate();
const holiday = checkHoliday(currentDate);
console.log(holiday);

This will retrieve the current date, check if it corresponds to a holiday, and log the holiday name or 0 to the console.

Feel free to integrate this code into your project to check for holidays based on specific dates or dynamic occurrences throughout the year.

Note: Please make sure to adapt and customize the code to suit your specific requirements and date formats.
