Sunset to Sunset

This script was developed to help with closing down of a website from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. It displays a banner leading up to the Sabbath notifying visitors of the site when it will not be available.

Features

  • Automatically show a banner on the top of your site notifying visitors when your site will close.
  • Show a message during the Sabbath hours letting visitors know why you are closed and when your site will be back online.

Installation

Whichever method you choose, either Download or CDN, it’s best to include all these files in the head so that they load right away. It’s not ideal to have render-blocking scripts in the head but the reason we recommend putting them in the head is to avoid the flash of the rendered page before the Sabbath message gets rendered. Feel free to submit a PR for improved installation methods.

Support for Safari 10.1

Safari 10.1 supports modules, but does not support the nomodule attribute - it will load <script nomodule> anyway. If you need to support Safari 10.1 on your website you may use this snippet below:

<!-- Safari 10.1 `nomodule` fix script (https://gist.github.com/samthor/64b114e4a4f539915a95b91ffd340acc) -->
<!-- This can be omitted if you don't have many users of Safari 10.1 in your target audience. -->
<script>
  !function(){var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");if(!("noModule"in t)&&"onbeforeload"in t){var n=!1;e.addEventListener("beforeload",function(e){if(e.target===t)n=!0;else if(!e.target.hasAttribute("nomodule")||!n)return;e.preventDefault()},!0),t.type="module",t.src=".",e.head.appendChild(t),t.remove()}}();
</script>

Usage

Sunset to sunset needs some initial configuration needed for it to work correctly for your location. It will work out of the box without configuration but it won't be for your location.

Custom Templates

Sunset to sunset has some built-in banner and message templates that will be shown at the appropriate times but sometimes you need to define your own wording. You can do that with <div>s with the appropriate ids added to to them.

Special Template Tags

You can add the following two tags to your custom templates to render the closing time and the opening times.

Closing Time

<span class="sts-closing-time"></span>

Opening Time

<span class="sts-opening-time"></span>

Formatting Times

There are three methods for setting the format on the calculated times in your custom templates:

  1. Token: Allows you to set what order each part of the date and time appear so it looks the same for everyone.
  2. Locale: Using whatever the user's browser's date/time format is set to.
  3. Default: Basically let the script decide for you.

Token

This is the most flexible formatting option as it allows you to define the order of the date/time parts and the formatting. To use the token format include the special closing and opening time tags with a data-format-token like the following:

<span class="sts-closing-time" data-format-token="cccc 'at' h:mm a ZZZZ"></span>

<!-- Output: Monday at 7:44 PM CDT -->

Note that you can add words in the token format by surrounding them with single quotes like in the example above.

Advanced formatting: The Luxon documentation has a full list of formatting tokens so that you can fine-tune your dates and times.

Locale

With this option you can't arrange the parts of the date and time but you can decide how they are formatted. To use the locale format include the special closing and opening time tags with a data-format-locale like the following:

<span class="sts-closing-time" data-format-locale='{ 
  "weekday": "long",
  "month": "long",
  "hour": "numeric",
  "minute": "numeric",
  "timeZoneName": "short"
}'></span>

<!-- Output: September Monday, 7:44 PM CDT -->

Default

Include the special closing and opening time tags with no data-format-locale or data-format-token attributes and it will output the times with the token format of cccc, LLLL d 'at' h:mm a ZZZZ:

<span class="sts-closing-time"></span>

<!-- Output: Monday, September 27 at 7:44 PM CDT -->

Banner Template

To define your custom banner template add the following snippet to your page, preferrably in the <head> tag.

<div id="sts-banner-template">
  <div class="sts-banner  YOUR-CUSTOM-CLASSES-HERE">
    Our store will be closing at 
    <span class="sts-closing-time"></span>
    <span>and will re-open on</span>
    <span class="sts-opening-time"></span>
  </div>
</div>

The sts-banner class provides some default styling for the banner that you could use as a starting point. Or you can remove it altogether and use your own custom styles. If you keep the sts-banner class it will output something like what you see below:

Simple Message Template

If you want to just set a paragraph or two of text to appear during Sabbath then this is the template you'll want to use.

To define your custom message template add the following snippet to your page, preferrably in the <head> tag:

<div id="sts-message-template">
  <p>
    Your message here
  </p>
</div>

It will output something like what you see below:

simple custom message template screenshot

If you supply no custom template then a default message will be set which looks like this:

Full Message Template

If you want to have full control over the appearance and layout of the message then you'll want to use the full message template. You will need to supply your own custom styling to add padding and centering of your message.

To define your custom message template add the following snippet to your page, preferrably in the <head> tag:

<div id="sts-full-message-template">
  <div class="your-custom-layout-class">
    <div class="your-message-area">
      <h1 class="your-message__heading">Sabbath</h1>
      <p>Message here</p>
    </div>
    <div class="your-custom-time-area">
      <p>
        We will re-open on <strong><span class="sts-opening-time"></span>.</strong>
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Defining the Settings

The settings are defined with an html template element. The template must have an id of sts-settings and the data attribute data-settings like below:

<template 
  id="sts-settings" 
  data-settings='{
    "location": {
      "lat": 35.7686615,
      "long": -87.4871698
    }
}'></template>

N.B.: the data-settings attribute must be valid JSON. Keys need to be quoted, for example "location":. The attribute value uses single quotes ', but the JSON entities use double-quotes ".

Settings

You can pass an object of configuration options with the data-settings attribute in the template above. The allowed values are as follows:

location

  • Type: Object
  • Default: { "lat": 0, "long": 0 }
  • Description: An object defining the latitude and longitude of the location to calculate the sunset times. Both keys lat and long are expected to be of the Number type.
  • Example:
    "location": {
      "lat": 35.7686615,
      "long": -87.4871698
    }

guardDuration

  • Type: Object
  • Default: { "minutes": 30 }
  • Description: This allows you to set the duration of the guard before and after the Sabbath. Whatever time you set here will determine when your Sabbath message will come up and go down.
    • It accepts any object of options that can have any of the following keys: years, quarters (three months), months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. It's recommended to the smaller units like hours, minutes, etc. though because otherwise you'll be calculating guard times that are into the next week.
  • Example: If the sun set on Friday at 8:00pm and on Saturday at 8:02pm this would calculate the closing guard time at 5:15pm on Friday and the opening time at 10:47pm on Saturday:
    "guardDuration": {
      "hours": 2,
      "minutes": 45
    }

bannerDuration

  • Type: Object
  • Default: { "hours": 3 }
  • Description: This allows you to set the duration that the banner will be visible before the Sabbath message appears.
    • It accepts any object of options that can have any of the following keys: years, quarters (three months), months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. Generally you will only need to use hours and minutes though.
  • Example: This would show the banner 3 hours and 3 minutes before the calculated closing guard time determined by the guardDuration option:
    "bannerDuration": {
      "hours": 3,
      "minutes": 30
    }

simulateTime

  • Type: Boolean | String
  • Default: false
  • Description: This allows you to simulate the time to see how the plugin works at different times of the week and different times of the day. The accepted values are:
    • preparation-day
    • banner-up
    • during-sabbath
    • after-sabbath
  • Example: This would show the Sabbath message as it would appear during the Sabbath hours.
    "simulateTime": "during-sabbath"

debug

  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: false
  • Description: When this is set to true it will output the calculated times to the console. N.B.: this will only show the calculated times if the current weekday is equal to the Friday or Saturday or if the simulateTime setting is not false. This is done so that it doesn't need to calculate the sunset times unnessarily during the week.
  • Example: This would output the calculated times to the console.
    "debug": "true"
