workingday-uk

Promise-based node package to determine if a date is a working day in the UK, based on being a weekday, and not a bank holiday, according to the UK government website.

Usage

fn([string isoDate]|[Date date], [boolean offline])

• Takes an optional Date object or a string in the format YYYY-mm-DD. Default: today
• Takes an optional boolean whether to work offline. Default: true (using a local copy of the GOV.UK bank holiday API response)

Examples

Use with no params for today

const isWorkingDay = require('workingday-uk')
 
isWorkingDay()
.then(iwd => {
    console.log('Today is a working day? ' + iwd)
})

Use with a date

const isWorkingDay = require('workingday-uk')
 
const dateToCheck = new Date(2000, 0, 1) //1st Jan 2000
 
isWorkingDay(dateToCheck)
.then(iwd => {
    console.log(iwd) //False
})

Use with a date string of YYYY-MM-DD

const isWorkingDay = require('workingday-uk')
 
const dateToCheck = '2019-12-24'
 
isWorkingDay(dateToCheck)
.then(iwd => {
    console.log(iwd) //True - Tuesday, and not a bank holiday
})

Check online for today

const isWorkingDay = require('workingday-uk')
 
isWorkingDay(false)
.then(iwd => {
    console.log('Today is a working day? ' + iwd)
})

const dateToCheck = '2019-12-25'
 
isWorkingDay(dateToCheck, false)
.then(iwd => {
    console.log(iwd) //False
})
