The README stops explaining how the project tests and releases itself. Someone arriving at it wants to know what a day of the Great Fast permits, not how the wheels get built; the parity suite and the release workflow are in docs/, where the person who needs them will look. The published description now says how many churches are covered, on both registries. That is a number in two files nobody editing the jurisdiction table will open, so a test pins it and names them.
typikon
The Orthodox liturgical day: feasts, seasons and the fast, computed rather than fetched. No network, no data files, no service to be up.
npm install typikon
import { today } from "typikon";
const day = today({ jurisdiction: "rocor" });
day.churchDate; // "5 September"
day.fast; // "xerophagy"
day.fastLabel; // "xerophagy — no oil or wine"
day.emoji; // the glyph for the level
day.title; // "The Holy Prophet Zachariah, father of the Forerunner"
day.season; // null in ordinary time
day.daysToPascha;
In a browser or a bundler, load the module first:
import init, { today } from "typikon";
await init();
const day = today({ jurisdiction: "rocor" });
Node needs no init, because it can read the WebAssembly itself. The exports
map picks the right build; typikon/node and typikon/web force one.
What comes back
A plain object, not a handle: the same document typikon --json emits, with
the same field names and the same stability promise. Nothing has to be freed
and JSON.stringify works on it. TypeScript types ship with the package.
The rest of it
import { describe, describeIso, week, pascha, jurisdictions } from "typikon";
describe(new Date(2026, 3, 12), { jurisdiction: "moscow" });
describeIso("2026-04-12", { jurisdiction: "moscow" });
week(new Date(), 7, { jurisdiction: "goarch" }); // seven consecutive days
pascha(2027, "old"); // 2027-05-02
jurisdictions(); // [{ key, name, note }, ...]
week reckons the year's movable cycle once rather than once a day, so it is
the thing to call for a calendar grid.
Which calendar
jurisdiction takes a church key, or a bare calendar where the church does not
matter: "old" (Julian throughout), "new" (Revised Julian fixed feasts with
the Julian Paschalion, the default) or "western" (Gregorian throughout,
Pascha included). jurisdictions() lists the rest. Two more options:
tradition,"slavic"or"greek", overriding the church's own usage. It moves fish in the Nativity Fast and the rank of the Protection.typikon: true, to show a day at the Typikon's full discipline rather than at the minimum a church's own particular law requires. What binds is reported either way, inbindsandobligation. This is for the Byzantine Catholic churches, whose law asks very much less than the tradition they keep.
Unlike the command line and the Python bindings, there is no remembered default: a browser has nowhere to keep one, so the default is the New Calendar and anything else is passed.
Accuracy
The Paschalion is exact. The fast follows the Typikon as the standard printed calendars apply it, which is the part where careful people differ; a parish calendar or a confessor overrides this, and neither is a bug report.
