Example how to exclude holiday types with HebrewCalendar.getHolidaysOnDate

[TheBestMoshe]

HebrewCalendar.getHolidaysOnDate(date, false) returns an Event array if there are any events for the given date. How do I select what kind of events I want? For example, if I only want Chagim, how would I do it?

I see Hebcal has flags. However, .getHolidaysOnDate does not have an option to pass them in. I also see that Event has a mask field, which seems to identify the specific holiday. However, how can I figure out which category a holiday is a part of?

Hi, thanks for the bug report. It looks like we could do a better job of documenting which holidays use which flags. You can certainly call filter() on the results of this function to select holidays you prefer based on their flags.

In the meantime, if you want fine grained control over which holidays are included, you can consider using the well documented HebrewCalendar.calendar() function. You can even specify a single date using that function by setting the start and end parameters to the same Date or HDate value.

@TheBestMoshe I'm going to close this issue as I think recent documentation changes may have made it easier to solve your problem. If you have additional questions, feel free to reopen
