Is today a public holiday in Sweden?

This is a simple web app that tells you if today is a public holiday in Sweden. It uses the Nager.Date API to get the data.

Please, if you are an employer, feel free to look at it. I just want to make it clear that is-even and is-is-even is used as a joke. Looking for something more serious? Go back and look at other stuff I have published. 💚

Background

This project is a part of a course in Flerplattformsapplikationer med webbtekniker at Malmö University. For the full instructions, see GitHub Pages for the course (in Swedish).

I wanted to create a simple web app that tells you if today is a public holiday in Sweden. The project was built with Next.js.

We were required to build a web app that uses an API to get data, and use two packages.

Web API

The API used in this project is the Nager.Date API. It provides data about public holidays in different countries.

Packages

The two packages used in this project are:

• is-even - A package that tells you if a number is even or not.
• is-is-even - A package that tells you if a given function is the same as the is_even function from the is-even npm package.

These packages were used to demonstrate how to use npm packages in a project. This choice was clearly made as a joke, as the packages are not very useful. 🤪

Getting Started

Disclaimer

This project has only been tested on macOS. It should work on Windows and Linux as well, but I cannot guarantee that it will work as expected.

Pre requisites

• Node.js
• npm
• git

To run this project you need to have Node.js installed. You can download it here. The project was built for version 20.5.1 LTS.

The project will start on port 3000. Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

If the port is already in use, it will automatically switch to the next available port. Please check the terminal for the correct port.
