About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

dayOfYear

Determine the day of the year.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/time-day-of-year

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).
• To use as a general utility for the command line, install the corresponding CLI package globally.

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var dayOfYear = require( '@stdlib/time-day-of-year' );

dayOfYear( [month[, day, year]] )

Returns the day of the year.

var num = dayOfYear();
// returns <number>

By default, the function returns the day of the year for the current date (according to local time). To determine the day of the year for a particular day, provide month, day, and year arguments.

var num = dayOfYear( 12, 31, 2016 );
// returns 366

num = dayOfYear( 12, 31, 2017 );
// returns 365

A month may be either a month's integer value, three letter abbreviation, or full name (case insensitive).

var num = dayOfYear( 12, 31, 2016 );
// returns 366

num = dayOfYear( 'dec', 31, 2016 );
// returns 366

num = dayOfYear( 'december', 31, 2016 );
// returns 366

The function also supports providing a Date object.

var num = dayOfYear( new Date() );
// returns <number>

Examples

var dayOfYear = require( '@stdlib/time-day-of-year' );

var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 2021; i++ ) {
    v = dayOfYear( 'Dec', 31, i );
    console.log( 'In the year %d, December 31 is day number %d.', i, v );
}

CLI

Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

npm install -g @stdlib/time-day-of-year-cli

Usage

Usage: day-of-year [options] [<month> <day> <year>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.

Examples

$ day-of-year
<number>

For a specific date,

$ day-of-year 12 31 2016
366
