daysInMonth
Determine the number of days in a month.
Usage
var daysInMonth = require( '@stdlib/time/days-in-month' );
daysInMonth( [month[, year]] )
Returns the number of days in a month.
var num = daysInMonth();
// returns <number>
By default, the function returns the number of days in the current month of the current year (according to local time). To determine the number of days for a particular month and year, provide month
and year
arguments.
var num = daysInMonth( 2 );
// returns <number>
num = daysInMonth( 2, 2016 );
// returns 29
num = daysInMonth( 2, 2017 );
// returns 28
A month
may be either a month's integer value, three letter abbreviation, or full name (case insensitive).
var num = daysInMonth( 2, 2016 );
// returns 29
num = daysInMonth( 'feb', 2016 );
// returns 29
num = daysInMonth( 'february', 2016 );
// returns 29
The function also supports providing a Date
object.
var num = daysInMonth( new Date() );
// returns <number>
Notes
- The function's return value is a generalization and does not take into account inaccuracies due to daylight savings conventions, crossing timezones, or other complications with time and dates.
