Persian Calendar Library

The Persian Calendar Library (persiancalendar) is a Java library designed to facilitate conversions between the Persian calendar and the Gregorian calendar. It offers utilities for converting dates, formatting Persian dates, and handling time zones specifically for applications that require dual calendar support.

Features

• Convert dates from Gregorian to Persian calendar and vice versa.
• Format Persian dates with customizable patterns.
• Support for time zone specifications, particularly for conversions that do not involve time zones.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 8 or higher

Installation

To use persiancalendar in your Maven project, add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.sohagroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>persiancalendar</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1-RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Usage Examples

After setting up persianCalendar in your project, you can use it to perform various date conversions and calculations. Here's how you can get started:

Configuring the Converter

First, create a DateConverter instance with custom date and time formats:

public class Test{
    public static void main(String[]atgs){
        DateConverter converter = new DateConverter(new DateConverterConfig.Builder()
        .withDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
        .withDateTimeFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
        .build());
    }
}

Converting Dates to Persian

Convert the current LocalDate and LocalDateTime to their Persian equivalents:

    System.out.println(converter.toPersianLocalDate(LocalDate.now())); // Convert current LocalDate
    System.out.println(converter.toPersianLocalDateTime(LocalDateTime.now())); // Convert current LocalDateTime

Calculating Duration Between Dates

Calculate the duration between two Persian dates, both for LocalDate and LocalDateTime inputs:

// Calculate duration in seconds between two LocalDate values
System.out.println(converter.localDateDuration("1400-01-01", "1410-01-01", ChronoUnit.SECONDS));

// Calculate duration in seconds between two LocalDateTime values
System.out.println(converter.localDateTimeDuration("1400-01-01 00:10:34", "1400-02-01 00:00:00", ChronoUnit.SECONDS));

This quick start guide should help you integrate and make the most of the persianCalendar library in your projects.
