Changed: How to fix current prayer time?

[Babyyoda777]

Is there a method to control jamat times for each prayer. I am trying to replicate the prayer timing from here: http://harrowmosque.org.uk

[z3bi]

@Babyyoda777 this library does not handle jamat/iqamah times as that is really going to be different per masjid and not something that can be calculated.

Okay understood, jazakallah. Then what about notifications. I cannot figure out how to make it work. Here is my implementation:` let cal = Calendar(identifier: Calendar.Identifier.gregorian) let coordinates = Coordinates(latitude: 51.5806, longitude: 0.3420) let size = UIScreen.main.bounds

@State  var sunrize : String
@State  var fajr : String
@State var dhuhr : String
@State var asr : String
@State var maghrib : String
@State var isha : String
@State var currentPrayer : String

@StateObject var feedViewModel = FeedViewModel()

func calculateTime()->Void{
    let date = cal.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: Date())

    var params = CalculationMethod.moonsightingCommittee.params
    params.madhab = .hanafi
    params.adjustments.fajr = 5/2
    params.adjustments.sunrise = 2
    params.adjustments.dhuhr = 3
    params.adjustments.maghrib = -1
    params.adjustments.asr = 3
    params.adjustments.isha = 3
    if let prayers = PrayerTimes(coordinates: coordinates, date: date, calculationParameters: params) {
        let formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.timeStyle = .short
        formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Europe/London")!

        self.sunrize = formatter.string(from: prayers.sunrise)
        self.fajr = formatter.string(from: prayers.fajr)
        self.dhuhr = formatter.string(from: prayers.dhuhr)
        self.asr = formatter.string(from: prayers.asr)
        self.maghrib = formatter.string(from: prayers.maghrib)
        self.isha = formatter.string(from: prayers.isha)

    }
}`

This is what I have when trying to call a notification but it just says "prayer not found"

let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.title = "prayer time" content.body = "Time to pray" content.categoryIdentifier = "alarm" content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: prayers.fajr, repeats: false) let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: UUID().uuidString, content: content, trigger: trigger) center.add(request)

that's really outside of the scope of this library as well, it's not even clear in this code sample how the notification code gets access to the prayers struct.

[Babyyoda777]

I want to also use the current prayer time feature but I am at loss at how to implement. This is what im trying so far: I get the following error

[z3bi]

prayers.currentPrayer returns a Prayer value, not a date. You would need to instead use prayers.time(for: prayers.currentPrayer) to get the Date associated for that Prayer.

[Babyyoda777]

Is this what you mean? sorry im still a bit new to swift.

[z3bi]

Yes but you will need to unwrap the optional prayer since it can be nil sometimes.

if let currentPrayer = prayers.currentPrayer {
    self.current = formatter.string(from: prayers.time(for: currentPrayer))
} else {
    // if there's no current prayer then it means its between midnight and fajr.
    // It's up to you to decide how you want to handle this situation
}

[Babyyoda777]

Hmm, it still gives me a circular reference error :/ as well as Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'Date' that does not accept a closure

[Babyyoda777]

[z3bi]

Sorry, currentPrayer is a function. Try this.

if let currentPrayer = prayers.currentPrayer() {
    self.current = formatter.string(from: prayers.time(for: currentPrayer))
} else {
    // if there's no current prayer then it means its between midnight and fajr.
    // It's up to you to decide how you want to handle this situation
}

THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY. Jazakallah

[Babyyoda777]

Sorry for reopening but I this doesn't seem to work no matter what I try :/
