DESCRIPTION

A Date::Holidays family member from the Netherlands

METHODS

This module implements the is_holiday, is_holiday_dt and holiday functions from Date::Holidays::Abstract.

All methods accept additional parameters. The most important is a flag called gov, when supplied you will get days that the government considers special in regards to service terms. It essentially says that if a company or government needs to contact you before or on that day it can be expedited to the following work day. See the relevant law for more information.

is_holiday(yyyy, mm, dd, %additional)

            

              
              
is_holiday(
    '2022', '05', '05',
    gov  => 1,      # Important for government institutions
    lang => 'en'    # defaults to nl/nld, alternatively en/eng can be used.
);
            
          

is_holiday_dt(dt, %additional)

            

              
              
is_holiday_dt(
    DateTime->new(
        year      => 2022,
        month     => 5,
        day       => 5,
        time_zone => 'Europe/Amsterdam',
    ),
    gov  => 1,      # Important for government institutions
    lang => 'en'    # defaults to nl/nld, alternatively en/eng can be used.
);
            
          

holidays(yyyy, gov => 1)

            

              
              
holidays('2022', gov  => 1);
            
          

Similar API to the other functions, returns an hashref for the year.
