Calculate day to next Fiscal Quarters #37

Closed git001 closed 7 years ago

git001 commented 7 years ago

Hi.

how can I calculate the days to the next Fiscal Quarters ?

http://momentjs.com/docs/#/plugins/fquarter/

ftm commented 7 years ago

As atom-clock does not use the moment-fquarter plugin mentioned in the docs you linked it is not currently possible to do this

Thanks @frasertmay .

Is it planned to add it? If you want you can see this as request for enhancement ;-)

It's probably not in any current plans so it would be up to the owner @b3by to decide whether it's something he wants to do - however you're welcome to fork the repo and include it yourself.

I will take a look

I've detailed in my comment on your issue on moment-fquarter how one would go about trying to do what you want to do.

As for doing this in atom-clock, as I mentioned earlier it is currently not possible as we only allow the user to change the format the current time is displayed in, not allow them to display another time.

Thank you guys for turning every rock on this. The solution @frasertmay suggested in the related issue on fquarter is smart. However, I'm not sure this is a feature I want in the package. This is a very specific feature, that maybe falls a bit out of the scope of a simple clock. Also, the clock is something that actually needs constant refreshing and re-rendering in the status bar, while the days to the next fiscal quarter don't really take that complexity.

This sounds like something that could be implemented in a separate package, maybe something that just shows a popup, triggered by a keybinding, with the days to the next quarter in it.

Anyway, thank you very much for the suggestion!
