Usage

You can get all holidays for a country by using the get method.

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;
use Spatie\Holidays\Countries\Belgium;

// returns an array of Belgian holidays
// for the current year
$holidays = Holidays::for(Belgium::make())->get();

Alternatively, you could also pass an ISO 3166-1 code to the for method. In case of region based holidays, these will not be included. Use a country class instead.

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;

// returns an array of Belgian holidays
// for the current year
$holidays = Holidays::for('be')->get();

Getting holidays for a specific year

You can also pass a specific year.

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;

$holidays = Holidays::for(country: 'be', year: 2024)->get();

Getting holidays between two dates

You can also get all holidays between two dates (inclusive).

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;

$holidays = Holidays::for('be')->getInRange('2023-06-01', '2024-05-31');

Getting holidays in a specific language

$holidays = Holidays::for(country: 'be', locale: 'fr')->get();

If the locale is not supported for a country, an exception will be thrown.

Determining if a date is a holiday

If you need to see if a date is a holiday, you can use the isHoliday method.

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;

Holidays::for('be')->isHoliday('2024-01-01'); // true

Getting the name of a holiday

If you need the name of the holiday, you can use the getName method.

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;

Holidays::for('be')->getName('2024-01-01'); // Nieuwjaar

Determining whether a country is supported

To verify whether a country is supported, you can use the has method.

use Spatie\Holidays\Holidays;

Holidays::has('be'); // true
Holidays::has('unknown'); // false

Contributing

This is a community driven package. If you find any errors, please create a pull request with the fix, or at least open an issue.

Adding a new country

Create a new class in the Countries directory. It should extend the Country class.
Add a test for the new country in the tests directory.
Run the tests so a snapshot gets created.
Verify the result in the newly created snapshot is correct.
If the country has multiple languages, add a file in the lang/ directory.

In case your country has specific rules for calculating holidays, for example region specific holidays, you can pass this to the constructor of your country class.

$holidays = Holidays::for(Germany::make('DE-BW'))->get();

The value, DE-BW, will be passed to the region parameter of the constructor of a country.

class Germany extends Country
{
    protected function __construct(
        protected ?string $region = null,
    ) {
    }

    protected function allHolidays(int $year): array
    {
        // Here you can use $this->region (or other variables) to calculate holidays
    }
