⚙️ Kenat Class

The Kenat class provides a high-level API for working with Ethiopian calendar dates. You can create instances, format dates, manipulate them, and print calendars.

🏗 Constructor

new Kenat(dateString?)

Creates a new instance of an Ethiopian date.

If no argument is passed, it uses the current Gregorian system date.
If a string like '2015/6/10' is passed, it’s parsed as an Ethiopian date.

undefined


const k = new Kenat();
const custom = new Kenat('2016/6/10');
