Sometimes it is required to check if a certain date is a public holiday or day in the weekend.
If it is the case then you might be interested in adding enough days to make sure the date is a "normal" working day.
We can use the following JavaScript snippet to perform such check.
Utility class (file saved as DateUtil.js):
const holidays = {
"0,1": "public holiday 1",
"3,15": "public holiday 2",
"3,17": "public holiday 3",
"3,18": "public holiday 4",
"6,13": "public holiday 5",
"6,14": "public holiday 6",
"6,15": "public holiday 7",
};
class DateUtil {
static #isWeekend(date) {
const dayOfWeek = date.getDay();
return (dayOfWeek === 6) || (dayOfWeek === 0);
}
static #isPublicHoliday(date) {
return !!holidays[date.getMonth() + ',' + date.getDate()];
}
static isWeekendOrPublicHoliday(date) {
return this.#isPublicHoliday(date) || this.#isWeekend(date);
}
}
module.exports = {DateUtil}
Using the utility class (file saved as is-weekend-or-public-holiday.js):
const {DateUtil} = require('./DateUtil')
let date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 30);
console.log(`${date} is weekend or public holiday: ${DateUtil.isWeekendOrPublicHoliday(date)}`)
while (DateUtil.isWeekendOrPublicHoliday(date)) {
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1);
}
console.log(`${date} is weekend or public holiday: ${DateUtil.isWeekendOrPublicHoliday(date)}`)
Example output (run code with: node path/to/is-weekend-or-public-holiday.js):
Wed Jul 13 2022 16:17:09 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time) is weekend or public holiday: true
Mon Jul 18 2022 16:17:09 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time) is weekend or public holiday: false
You only need to define the set of public holidays that applies to your country.
