Constructors​

Constructor​

Methods​

parse()​

parse(gregorian): GregorianCalendarDate

Defined in: factory/gregorian.ts:27

Parse a Gregorian calendar date string into a GregorianCalendarDate.

The input is expected to be in the form DD/MM/YYYY, optionally suffixed with " CE" or " BCE" and/or an asterisk (*). For BCE dates, the year component is converted to a negative year before being passed to the moonbeams calendarToJd function.

The method calculates the appropriate julian day by:

  1. Converting the Gregorian date to a julian day using moonbeams
  2. Determining the offset needed based on the julian day
  3. Storing the adjusted julian day in the GregorianCalendarDate

Parameters​

gregorian​

string

Gregorian date string to parse (e.g. "01/01/0001 CE", "31/12/0001 BCE", or "01/01/2000*").

Returns​

GregorianCalendarDate

A GregorianCalendarDate instance representing the given Gregorian date.

Throws​

If the date string is invalid or malformed.
