NAME

HTML::Make::Calendar - Make an HTML calendar

SYNOPSIS

    use HTML::Make::Calendar;

VERSION

This documents version 0.00_01 of HTML-Make-Calendar corresponding to git commit a297d0627ad60bfb89223f7f7f24dedddd6d7fda released on Sun Jan 10 01:07:48 2021 +0900.

DESCRIPTION

This module constructs HTML calendars.

FUNCTIONS

calendar

    my $out = calendar (year => 2010, month => 10);

Make the calendar. The return value is an HTML::Make object. To get the actual HTML, call its text method:

    use utf8;
    use FindBin '$Bin';
    use HTML::Make::Calendar 'calendar';
    my $out = calendar (year => 2021, month => 1);
    print $out->text ();

The output HTML looks like this:

January 2021
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 31

(This example is included as calendar.pl in the distribution.)

The possible arguments are

cdata

Callback data, see "dayc".

dayc

Day callback. If this is omitted, a default element is added. The day callback is called with three arguments, first "cdata", second the date as a hash reference with arguments year, month and dom (day of month, a number from 1 to 31), and third the HTML element to attach the return value to, representing the cell of the calendar.

    &{$dayc} ($cdata, {year => 2020, month => 12, day => 21}, $td);

where $td is an HTML::Make object.

month

The month, as a number from 1 to 12. If the month is omitted, the current month is used as given by "Today" in Date::Calc.

year

The year, as a four-digit number like 2020. If the year is omitted, the current year is used, as given by "Today" in Date::Calc.

Daily menu

This example demonstrates the use of "dayc" and "cdata".

    use utf8;
    use FindBin '$Bin';
    use HTML::Make::Calendar 'calendar';
    my @food = split '', '🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🥭🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒🍓🥝🍅🥝🍅🥒🥬🥦🧄🧅🍄🥜🌰';
    my $cal = calendar (cdata => \@food, dayc => \&add_food);
    print $cal->text ();
    exit;
    
    sub add_food
    {
        my ($food, $date, $element) = @_;
        my $today = $food->[int (rand (@$food))];
        $element->push ('span', text => "$date->{dom} $today");
    }

The output HTML looks like this:

January 2021
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
1 🍇 2 🥭 3 🍒
4 🥬 5 🍈 6 🍍 7 🥬 8 🍍 9 🍉 10 🍅
11 🍊 12 🍒 13 🍊 14 🥝 15 🍏 16 🍓 17 🍉
18 🍇 19 🍎 20 🥜 21 🥒 22 🥜 23 🥝 24 🌰
25 🍇 26 🍒 27 🍉 28 🌰 29 🍇 30 🥭 31 🥬

(This example is included as menu.pl in the distribution.)
