I have implemented functions for converting dates between Persian and Gregorian calendars (algorithm by Kazimierz M. Borkowski). Is there a sample on how should I implement a full calendar?

Just reinvented the wheel! Jalaali package is using the same algorithm! Should have mention it inside docs somewhere though.

Thanks!
There are parts that are not clear to me - at first glance - for example functions involve day and time frictions. And since months in Persian calendar are different from Gregorian months, there might be some corner cases for converting to/from string.
But I decided to not implement the full calendar for now because it is a big interface. I’ll come back to it later.

And the Calendar documentation might also help you with properly implementing this.
And don’t be scared to look in the source code of the built-in Calendar.ISO calendar implementation, it is very readable

Hello, you basically need to implement the
Calendarbehaviour. There’s a similar project calledjalaaliand the calendar implementation is here: elixir-jalaali/lib/jalaali/calendar.ex at main · jalaali/elixir-jalaali · GitHub. There’s also a simple calendar used by Elixir tests here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/master/lib/elixir/test/elixir/fixtures/calendar/holocene.exs.
