# ISO date is business day

`iso-date-is-business-day` · version 1.0.0 · Dates & times (UTC, ISO 8601) · free, no key needed

Test whether a date is a business day given caller-supplied weekend weekdays and holiday dates.

**Use when you need to: iso date is business day · is date a working day · business day check with holidays.**

## Supported

- iso date is business day
- is date a working day
- business day check with holidays

## Not supported

- built-in national holiday calendars
- timezones
- half-day rules

## Behavior

- date is a strict YYYY-MM-DD proleptic Gregorian UTC calendar date with year 0001-9999.
- weekend_days is an array of ISO weekday integers 1-7 (Monday=1 .. Sunday=7), unique, with at most 6 entries (at least one non-weekend weekday must remain).
- holidays is an array of unique YYYY-MM-DD dates, at most 366 entries. No built-in holiday calendar is used; only caller-supplied dates count.
- is_business_day is false if the ISO weekday of date is in weekend_days, or if date is listed in holidays; otherwise true.
