WebAssembly rather than a native Node addon: one artifact serves Node, Deno, Bun, a browser and anything built on them, where napi would have meant a prebuilt binary per platform and a source build for whoever the matrix missed. The engine is pure computation and the menologion is already compiled in, so there is nothing for it to give up. A day comes back as a plain object, not a handle. A wasm class would have meant a .free() that every caller eventually forgets, and this way JSON.stringify works and the thing spreads into state. Two serializer defaults had to be overridden to keep the promise that it is the same document --json emits: maps as objects, and an absent field as null rather than undefined, which stringify would otherwise drop entirely. The TypeScript is hand-written, because the generated types for a value crossing as JsValue are `any`, and a binding that types its whole return as `any` is a binding TypeScript cannot check. tsc --strict is a release gate now, the way mypy --strict already is, and the check includes three lines that must fail to compile. The one place this differs from every other binding: no remembered default jurisdiction, because a browser has nowhere to keep one. It is called out in the README, in the types and in docs/versioning.md. The test resolves typikon through a staged node_modules rather than a relative path, so what it exercises is the exports map, and it compares a year of days field by field against the command line for four jurisdictions.

# Versioning
|
|
|
|
`typikon` follows semantic versioning from 1.0.0 onward. This page says what
|
|
that covers, because a calendar has a wider public surface than a library
|
|
usually does: four things depend on it, and only one of them is a function
|
|
signature.
|
|
|
|
## What is stable
|
|
|
|
A **major** version is required to change any of these.
|
|
|
|
### The JSON
|
|
|
|
Field names, their types, and whether a field can be null. Front ends are the
|
|
thing most likely to be written by someone else, and a schema that shifts
|
|
underneath them is a bad neighbour. As of 1.0.0:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
date weekday jurisdiction calendar churchDate season cycle feast rank sign
|
|
tradition title commemorations fast fastLabel emoji reason obligation binds
|
|
pascha daysToPascha julianOffset
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`fastLabel`, `emoji` and `reason` are **presentation**: the fields are always
|
|
there, and their wording is not stable. Key on `fast`, `season`, `rank`,
|
|
`obligation` and `binds`.
|
|
|
|
Adding a field is a **minor** change, so read the object by key and ignore what
|
|
you do not recognise. `season`, `cycle`, `feast`, `rank`, `sign` and
|
|
`obligation` are null on ordinary days.
|
|
|
|
Two semantics worth stating because the names do not carry them:
|
|
|
|
- **`daysToPascha` is signed**, and counts to the Pascha of that day's own
|
|
civil year. It is negative after Pascha has passed. 31 December reports
|
|
about -263, not the days until the next one.
|
|
- **`julianOffset`** is reported for every jurisdiction, including those that
|
|
do not use the Julian menologion.
|
|
- **`binds` is null unless the day binds.** Most jurisdictions legislate no
|
|
binding fast at all, which is a different fact from a day that happens to
|
|
oblige nothing, and the null says which.
|
|
|
|
### The fasting levels
|
|
|
|
`strict` `xerophagy` `wine_oil` `fish` `dairy` `none`, and their order from
|
|
strictest to laxest. Code that compares them may rely on that order.
|
|
|
|
### The jurisdiction and calendar keys
|
|
|
|
`old` `new` `western`, and every jurisdiction key `typikon --list` prints.
|
|
A key is never renamed or removed in a minor version. New ones are added
|
|
freely.
|
|
|
|
### The command line
|
|
|
|
Flag names and what they do, the column names `--format csv` accepts, and the
|
|
exit codes:
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| 0 | it answered |
|
|
| 1 | it ran and the result is incomplete, as when a fetched menaion is missing days |
|
|
| 2 | it was asked for something it could not do | `--json` and `--ics` remain as shorthand
|
|
for `--format`.
|
|
|
|
### The Rust and Python APIs
|
|
|
|
Public items in the crate root and the modules `calendars`, `paschalion`,
|
|
`seasons`, `fasting`, `jurisdictions`, `menologion`, `day`, `export`, `config`;
|
|
and in Python, the module's functions and the attributes of `Day`.
|
|
|
|
`Day.to_dict()` in Python carries the same fields as the JSON, in snake_case
|
|
rather than camelCase, which is the one deliberate difference between them.
|
|
|
|
### The C ABI
|
|
|
|
Every `typikon_*` symbol declared in `include/typikon.h`, and the meaning of
|
|
what it returns. `typikon_abi_version()` is bumped when any of that changes;
|
|
additions leave it alone, so a caller can require a minimum and get everything
|
|
after it.
|
|
|
|
Dates cross as Julian Day Numbers and a day is opaque, so the ABI carries no
|
|
struct layout and a rebuilt library stays loadable against a header that has
|
|
not moved.
|
|
|
|
### The JavaScript package
|
|
|
|
The functions the npm package exports, and the `Day`, `Options` and
|
|
`JurisdictionInfo` types in its `.d.ts`. A day is the JSON above, with the same
|
|
field names; `undefined` never appears where the JSON has `null`.
|
|
|
|
The one deliberate difference from every other binding: there is no remembered
|
|
default jurisdiction, because a browser has nowhere to keep one. The default is
|
|
the New Calendar.
|
|
|
|
## What is not stable
|
|
|
|
- **The text output.** It is for a person to read, and it changes when a better
|
|
arrangement is found. Parse the JSON, CSV or TSV instead.
|
|
- **`reason`, `fastLabel` and `emoji`.** They explain and present a decision to
|
|
a reader; they are not identifiers. The fields themselves are stable, their
|
|
wording is not.
|
|
- **The menologion.** Commemorations get added, corrected and reworded. See
|
|
below.
|
|
- **Anything not listed above**, including every private item and the layout of
|
|
fetched menaia on disk.
|
|
|
|
## Corrections to the calendar itself
|
|
|
|
This is the category semver does not have a word for, and it is the one that
|
|
matters most here.
|
|
|
|
A correction to a fast rule, a feast rank or a commemoration changes what the
|
|
program tells you about a day. It breaks no interface, so by semver it is a
|
|
patch. But it changes what someone is told to eat, and a user who has noticed a
|
|
disagreement with their parish deserves to know it moved.
|
|
|
|
So: **every change to what a day reports is called out in the changelog under
|
|
"Calendar"**, with the days affected, whatever the version number does. If a
|
|
correction changes a day you care about, the changelog is where it will say so.
|
|
|
|
Adding a jurisdiction, a menaion, a tradition or a binding is a minor version.
|
|
Correcting an existing one is a patch, and is announced.
|
|
|
|
## Releasing
|
|
|
|
See [releasing.md](releasing.md). The version lives only in `Cargo.toml`.
