========================= | ||
Contribute to Workalendar | ||
========================= | ||
|
||
Use it (and test it) | ||
==================== | ||
|
||
If you are using ``workalendar``, you are already contributing to it. As long | ||
as you are able to check its result, compare the designated working days and | ||
holidays to the reality, and make sure these are right, you're helping. | ||
|
||
If any of the computed holidays for the country / area your are using is | ||
**wrong**, please report | ||
`it using the Github issues <https://github.com/novapost/workalendar/issues>`_. | ||
|
||
Report an issue | ||
=============== | ||
|
||
If you think you've found a bug you can report an issue. In order to help us | ||
sort this out, please follow the guidelines: | ||
|
||
* Tell us which ``workalendar`` version (master, PyPI release) you are using. | ||
* Tell us which Python version you are using, and your platform. | ||
* Give us extensive details on the country / area Calendar, the exact date(s) that was (were) computed and the one(s) that should have been the correct result. | ||
* If possible, please provide us a reliable source about the designated country / area calendar, where we could effectively check that we were wrong about a date, and giving us a way to patch our code properly so we can fix the bug. | ||
|
||
|
||
Adding new calendars | ||
==================== | ||
|
||
Since ``workalendar`` is mainly built around configuration variables and generic | ||
methods, it's not that difficult to add a calendar to our codebase. A few | ||
**mandatory** steps should be observed: | ||
|
||
1. Fork the repository and create a new branch named after the calendar you want to implement, | ||
2. Add a test class to the workalendar test suite that checks holidays, | ||
3. Implement the class using the core class APIs as much as possible. Test it until all tests pass. | ||
4. Make a nice pull-request we'll be glad to review and merge when it's perfect. | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
Please respect the PEP8 convention, otherwise your PR won't be accepted. | ||
|
||
Example | ||
------- | ||
|
||
Let's assume you want to include the holidays of the magic (fictional) kingdom | ||
of *"Zhraa"*, which has a few holidays of different kind. | ||
|
||
For the sake of the example, it has the following specs: | ||
|
||
* it's a Gregorian-based Calendar (i.e. the Western European / American one), | ||
* even if the King is not versed into religions, the kingdom includes a few Christian holidays, | ||
* even if you never knew about it, it is set in Oceania, | ||
|
||
Here is a list of the holidays in *Zhraa*: | ||
|
||
* January 1st, New year's Day, | ||
* May 1st, Labour day, | ||
* Easter Monday, which is variable (from March to May), | ||
* The first monday in June, to celebrate the birth of the Founder of the Kingdom, Zhraa (nobody knows the exact day he was born, so this day was chosen as a convention), | ||
* The birthday of the King, August 2nd. | ||
* Christmas Day, Dec 25th. | ||
|
||

||
Getting ready | ||
############# | ||
|
||
You'll need to install ``workalendar`` dependencies beforehand. What's great is | ||
that you'll use virtualenv to set it up. Or even better: ``virtualenvwrapper``. | ||
Just go in your working copy (cloned from github) of workalendar and type, for | ||
example:: | ||
|
||
mkvirtualenv WORKALENDAR | ||
pip install -e ./ | ||
|
||
|
||
Test-driven start | ||
################# | ||
|
||
|
||
Let's prepare the Zhraa class. In the ``workalendar/oceania.py`` file, add | ||
a class like this:: | ||
|
||
class Zhraa(WesternCalendar): | ||
pass | ||
|
||
|
||
Now, we're building a test class. Edit the ``workalendar/tests/test_oceania.py`` | ||
file and add the following code:: | ||
|
||
from workalendar.oceania import Zhraa | ||
# snip... | ||
|
||
class ZhraaTest(GenericCalendarTest): | ||
cal_class = Zhraa | ||
|
||
def test_year_2014(self): | ||
holidays = self.cal.holidays_set(2014) | ||
self.assertIn(date(2014, 1, 1), holidays) # new year | ||
self.assertIn(date(2014, 5, 1), holidays) # labour day | ||
self.assertIn(date(2014, 8, 2), holidays) # king birthday | ||
self.assertIn(date(2014, 12, 25), holidays) # Xmas | ||
# variable days | ||
self.assertIn(date(2014, 4, 21), holidays) # easter monday | ||
self.assertIn(date(2014, 6, 2), holidays) # First MON in June | ||
|
||
of course, if you run the test using the ``tox`` or ``nosetests`` command, | ||
this will fail, since we haven't implemented anything yet. | ||
|
||
Install tox using the following command:: | ||
|
||
workon WORKALENDAR | ||
pip install tox | ||
|
||
With the ``WesternCalendar`` base class you have at least one holiday as a | ||
bonus: the New year's day, which is commonly a holiday. | ||
|
||
Add fixed days | ||
############## | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
class Zhraa(WesternCalendar): | ||
FIXED_HOLIDAYS = WesternCalendar.FIXED_HOLIDAYS + ( | ||
(5, 1, "Labour Day"), | ||
(8, 2, "King Birthday"), | ||
) | ||
|
||
Now we've got 3 holidays out of 6. | ||
|
||
Add religious holidays | ||
###################### | ||
|
||
Using ChristianMixin as a base to our Zhraa class will instantly add Christmas | ||
Day as a holiday. Now we can add Easter monday just by triggering the correct | ||
flag. | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
class Zhraa(WesternCalendar, ChristianMixin): | ||
include_easter_monday = True | ||
FIXED_HOLIDAYS = WesternCalendar.FIXED_HOLIDAYS + ( | ||
(5, 1, "Labour Day"), | ||
(8, 2, "King Birthday"), | ||
) | ||
|
||
Almost there, 5 holidays out of 6. | ||
|
||
Add variable "non-usual" holidays | ||
################################# | ||
|
||
There are many static methods that will grant you a clean access to variable | ||
days computation. It's very easy to add days like the "Birthday of the Founder":: | ||
|
||
|
||
class Zhraa(WesternCalendar, ChristianMixin): | ||
include_easter_monday = True | ||
FIXED_HOLIDAYS = WesternCalendar.FIXED_HOLIDAYS + ( | ||
(5, 1, "Labour Day"), | ||
(8, 2, "King Birthday"), | ||
) | ||
|
||
def get_variable_days(self, year): | ||
# usual variable days | ||
days = super(Zhraa, self).get_variable_days(year) | ||
|
||
days.append( | ||
(Zhraa.get_nth_weekday_in_month(year, 6, MON), | ||
'Day of the Founder'), | ||
) | ||
return days | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
Please mind that the returned "variable_days" is a list of tuples. The first | ||
item being a date object (in the Python ``datetime.date`` sense) and the | ||
second one is the label string. | ||
|
||
|
||
There you are. Commit with a nice commit message, test, make sure it works for | ||
the other years as well and you're almost there. | ||
|
||
The final steps | ||
############### | ||
|
||
Do not forget to: | ||
|
||
1. put the appropriate doctring in the Calendar class. | ||
2. add your calendar in the ``README.rst`` file, included in the appropriate continent. | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
We're planning to build a complete documentation for the other cases | ||
(special holiday rules, other calendar types, other religions, etc). But | ||
with this tutorial you're sorted for a lot of other calendars. | ||
|
||
|
||
Other code contributions | ||
======================== | ||
|
||
There are dozens of calendars all over the world. We'd appreciate you to | ||
contribute to the core of the library by adding some new Mixins or Calendars. | ||
|
||
Bear in mind that the code you'd provide **must** be tested using unittests | ||
before you submit your pull-request. |
