This project is aimed to be an open source project to design a simple javascript class that could be used to generate general astrological information to individuals
based on birth date information and such. The idea is that the class could be instantiated and used in a general web-project and then accessed through a set of different public methods
that add data, do calculations and present information back to the user. Currently the class is meant to load some general information data about the different zodiac signs
from a json resource. The default settings is to load the data from a json-files to get the specific date information for each zodiac signs aswell as a more detailed description about
what a specific zodiac sign entails. The source for the json data could be altered through providing a connectionObject to the constructor method as explained below.
Within the web-pages/applications you would like to use the class, you should include the script, within the <head>..</head> section or preferably within the last section
of the <body>..</body> section, such as for instance
...
<script src="../js/astrology.js"></script>
</body>
</html>Then within an actual javascript file, (could be within a jquery statement aswell), the class should be instantiated
with an optional connectionObject parameter being passed to the constructor like:
var astrology = new Astrology();or..
var connectionObject = {
dateDataUrl: url_to_where_to_fetch_the_date_data,
descriptionDataUrl: url_to_where_to_fetch_the_description_data
}
var astrology = new Astrology(connectionObject);When interacting with the class there are three methods that saves the date needed to find out the zodiac sign. First there is the method addDay(dayNumber) that takes in a number between 1-31
as a valid day number in a month, and then there is addMonth(monthNameOrMonthNumber) which takes in a string with a valid month-name such as for example january,
february etc... or a valid month-number string ranging from 1-12, such as 1, 12 or 01, 07 for instance. Then there is also a method
called addFullDateString(dateString) which takes in a date string in the format YYYY-MM-DD. This is naturally supported as the output from the native html5-method <input type="date">
, which in turn is supported by most modern browsers, except Internet Explorer. Read more here.
astrology.addDay(dayNumber);
astrology.addMonth(monthNameOrMonthNumber);
astrology.addFullDateString(dateString)To actually get the zodiac sign or the zodiac sign description from an astrology object,
the methods fetchZodiacSign and fetchZodiacSignDescription both fetches different strings that could be used
within the DOM-structure or as the user see fit. The fetchZodiacSignDescription method returns a description and
the fetchZodiacSign returns the zodiac name, both in the format of a string. They are called upon such as:
astrology.fetchZodiacSign();
astrology.fetchZodiacSignDescription();
