Introduction

Kenat (Amharic: ቀናት) is a multi-language toolkit for working with the Ethiopian calendar system — including support for conversion, date arithmetic, calendar grids, Geez numerals, and more.

Whether you’re building a web app, desktop utility, backend scheduler, or mobile experience, Kenat gives you consistent tools across languages.

Key Features

• Convert between Ethiopian ↔ Gregorian dates
• Full 13-month Ethiopian calendar support (with Pagume)
• Add/subtract days, months, and years
• Format numbers and dates in Geez numerals
• Work with traditional Ethiopian time
• Generate calendar grids
• Detect and label holidays
• Localized output in Amharic, English, and more

Example in Action

import Kenat from 'kenat';
 
const date = new Kenat();
console.log(date.getEthiopian()); 
// { year: 2017, month: 9, day: 25 }
 
console.log(date.formatInGeezAmharic()); 
// ግንቦት ፳፭ ፳፻፲፯

import 'package:kenat/kenat.dart';
 
void main() {
  final date = Kenat.now();
  print(date.getEthiopian());
  // { year: 2018, month: 11, day: 4 }
 
  print(date.formatInGeez());
  // ሀምሌ ፬ ፳፻፲፰
}

from kenat import Kenat
 
date = Kenat()
print(date.get_ethiopian())
# { 'year': 2017, 'month': 9, 'day': 25 }
 
print(date.format_in_geez_amharic())
# ግንቦት ፳፭ ፳፻፲፯

use Kenat\Kenat;
 
$date = new Kenat();
$et = $date->getEthiopian();
echo "{$et->year}-{$et->month}-{$et->day}";
// 2018-11-4
 
echo $date->formatInGeezAmharic();
// ሀምሌ ፬ ፳፻፲፰
