Introduction
In scope of modular implementation in Nepal support for secondary calendar was added. While previous solution allowed to replace one calendar with the other, new solution allows user to easily switch between Gregorian calendar and second calendar of choice.
General information and settings
In scope of modular implementation in Nepal support for secondary calendar was added. While previous solution allowed to replace one calendar with the other, new solution allows user to easily switch between Gregorian calendar and second calendar of choice.
Enabled with setting:
- `calendarSwitch`: enable calendar switcher toggle on the navbar of the webpage. Default false.
Pickers (front-end)
Currently used component for secondary calendar is react-multi-date-picker. It was picked by us to support for many calendars (Indian, Persian, Gregorian, Arabic) and a lot of customizable options as well as ongoing support by developers.
If you need support for calendar not defined here, you can create one yourself (provided it is 12 months long, other calendars are not yet supported by this picker) using this guide. Additionally nepali calendar files can be used as a reference (files in calendars directory).
To calculate epoch value, the following code was used (although I had to add around 500 manually):
import { DateObject } from "react-multi-date-picker";
const julianDay = new DateObject().toJulianDay();
const days = new DateObject().add(56, "years").add(8, "months").add(17, "days").toDays();
console.log(new DateObject().add(56, "years").add(8, "months").add(17, "days").toDate());
const epoch = julianDay - days
After adding those files and adding them to relevant dictionaries in the code, you need to specify following settings for your calendar to be used:
- `secondCalendarType`: type of secondary calendar picker (if enabled), default "nepali" - `secondCalendarLocale`: locale for secondary calendar picker (if enabled), default "nepali_en"

Reports (back-end)
ReportBro does not seem to support it. I’ve opened an inssue on github - https://github.com/jobsta/reportbro-lib/issues/36 . We may have to add this support ourselves (reporbro is opensource).
