​

Calendar Display

​
Today Indicator

The current date is clearly marked:
  • Highlighted Row: The entire row has a subtle primary color background
  • Circle Badge: The date number appears in a circular badge
  • Bold Text: Prayer times for today are shown in bold
  • Distinct Color: Uses primary color (green) to stand out from other dates

​
Table Layout

The calendar uses a responsive table with:
  • Sticky Header: Column headers stay visible while scrolling
  • Centered Content: All times and dates are center-aligned
  • Monospace Font: Prayer times use monospace font for clean alignment
  • Hover Effects: Rows highlight on hover for easier reading
  • Alternating Rows: Subtle visual separation between rows

​
Customized Column Display

The calendar respects your prayer time settings:
Only prayers you’ve enabled in Settings > Prayer Times > Show Prayer Times appear as columns in the calendar.

​
How Prayer Times are Calculated

The calendar generates prayer times for the entire month at once:
  1. Month Selection: You select which month and year to view
  2. Daily Calculation: The app calculates prayer times for each day (1-31)
  3. Bulk Processing: Uses getMonthSchedule() to efficiently compute all times
  4. Display Formatting: Times are formatted according to your time format setting (12h/24h)

​
Calculation Process

getMonthSchedule(year: number, month: number) {
  const schedule = [];
  const daysInMonth = new Date(year, month + 1, 0).getDate();
  
  for (let day = 1; day <= daysInMonth; day++) {
    const date = new Date(year, month, day);
    const times = prayTimeInstance.getTimes(date);
    schedule.push({ day, prayers: times });
  }
  
  return schedule;
}
This means:
  • Every day gets its own calculation
  • Times adjust naturally for seasonal changes
  • Leap years are handled automatically
  • Your location and calculation settings are applied to all days

  • Isha gets later
  • Day length increases
  • Longer time between Maghrib and Isha

​
Winter Months

  • Fajr gets later
  • Isha gets earlier
  • Day length decreases
  • Shorter time between prayers
Dramatic changes are most visible near the summer solstice (longest day) and winter solstice (shortest day).

​

The calendar automatically updates when you change:
  • Location: All times recalculate for the new location
  • Calculation Method: Applies new method to all month’s calculations
  • Enabled Prayers: Columns appear/disappear based on settings

  • Adjustments: Any custom time adjustments are reflected
Changing calculation settings or location while viewing the calendar will immediately regenerate all times for the displayed month.
