@date/generator

Generate dates with readable function chaining.

Also has functions accepting numbers to help with using values provided from elsewhere.

Install

npm install @date/generator --save

Usage

var gen = require('@date/generator')

// these are equivalent:
//   specify each thing individually
var washingtonDay = gen.third().monday().in().february().of(2016)
//   skip the in() and of() and specify the year in the february() call
var washingtonDay = gen.third().monday().february(2016)
//   specify 'third' with a '3' to monday(),
//           'february' with '1' to month()
var washingtonDay = gen.monday(3).month(1).of(2016)

var thanksgiving  = gen.fourth().thursday().in().november().of(2016)

Order

Start with the order functions:

1. first() - 1
2. second() - 2
3. third() - 3
4. fourth() - 4
5. last() - 5 (will be last, even when last is the fourth)

Days

Day functions are available after calling an order function, or, start with them and specify the order value as 1-5:

1. sunday()
2. monday()
3. tuesday()
4. wednesday()
5. thursday()
6. friday()
7. saturday()

Months

Month functions are available after calling a day function:

1. january()
2. february()
3. march()
4. april()
5. may()
6. june()
7. july()
8. august()
9. september()
10. october()
11. november()
12. december()

Also, shortcut making a call to of(year) after it and specify the year in the month call, like august(2016).

Years

Last call specifies the year to function of(year) and returns a Date instance.
