# Merch Calendar [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/merch_calendar.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/merch_calendar) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/stitchfix/merch_calendar.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/stitchfix/merch_calendar) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/stitchfix/merch_calendar/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/stitchfix/merch_calendar) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/stitchfix/merch_calendar/badge.svg)](https://coveralls.io/r/stitchfix/merch_calendar) This gem allows for finding retail/merchandising weeks for a given date, along with manipulating the retail calendar. This gem is used at [StitchFix](http://www.stitchfix.com/). ## Installation ```bash $ gem install merch_calendar ``` Add the following line to your `Gemfile`: ```ruby gem "merch_calendar" ``` ## Usage For converting a date into a `MerchWeek` object. ```ruby merch_week = MerchCalendar::MerchWeek.from_date("2014-01-01") puts merch_week.year # 2013 (the merch year associated with this date) puts merch_week.month # 12 (the julian month that the date falls in) puts merch_week.week # 5 (the week number within the month) puts merch_week.year_week # 48 (the week number within the year) puts merch_week.quarter # 2 puts merch_week.start_of_week # puts merch_week.end_of_week # puts merch_week.start_of_month # puts merch_week.end_of_month # puts merch_week.start_of_quarter # puts merch_week.end_of_quarter # puts merch_week.start_of_year # puts merch_week.end_of_year # # Formatting puts merch_week.to_s # "Dec W5" puts merch_week.to_s(:short) # "Dec W5" puts merch_week.to_s(:long) # "2013:48 Dec W5" puts merch_week.to_s(:elasticsearch) # "2013-12w05" ``` ### Merch retail calendar Merch calendars have their first month in February, and the last (12th) month is in January of the following year. ```ruby # This is asking "In the Merch year of 2014, what is the Gregorian calendar date of # the start of the first month?" retail_calendar = MerchCalendar::RetailCalendar.new retail_calendar.start_of_month(2014, 1) # => 2014-02-02 retail_calendar.start_of_month(2014, 12) # => 2015-01-04 ``` This table should describe the progression of dates: | N | `start_of_month(2014, N)` | | ------------- | ------------- | | 1 | 2014-02-02 | | 2 | 2014-03-02 | | 3 | 2014-04-06 | | 4 | 2014-05-04 | | 5 | 2014-06-01 | | 6 | 2014-07-06 | | 7 | 2014-08-03 | | 8 | 2014-08-31 | | 9 | 2014-10-05 | | 10 | 2014-11-02 | | 11 | 2014-11-30 | | 12 | 2015-01-04 | Other useful methods: ```ruby # 52 or 53 (depending on leap year) retail_calendar.weeks_in_year(2016) # => 52 retail_calendar.weeks_in_year(2017) # => 53 # get the start date of a given merch week retail_calendar.start_of_week(2017, 4, 1) # => # # get the end date of a given merch week retail_calendar.end_of_week(2017, 4, 1) #=> # ``` ### Offset fiscal year calendars Some companies, one of which being Stitch Fix, operate on a fiscal year calendar that is offset of the traditional retail calendar. The `MerchCalendar::FiscalYearCalendar` class allows you to easily offset the start of year to match your fiscal calendar. ```ruby fiscal_calendar = MerchCalendar::FiscalYearCalendar.new # 52 or 53 (depending on leap year) fiscal_calendar.weeks_in_year(2017) # => 52 fiscal_calendar.weeks_in_year(2018) # => 53 # get the start date of a given merch week fiscal_calendar.start_of_week(2017, 1, 1) # => # # get the end date of a given merch week fiscal_calendar.end_of_week(2017, 4, 1) #=> # ``` ## Documentation You can view the documentation for this gem on [RubyDoc.info](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/stitchfix/merch_calendar/master). ## License MerchCalendar is released under the [MIT License](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
