## Core Capabilities
- **Bidirectional Date Conversion**: Convert Gregorian (AD) to Bikram Sambat (BS) and Bikram Sambat (BS) to Gregorian (AD).
- **Calendar Range & Annual Audits**: Spans 1976/01/01 BS to 2100/12/31 BS (approx 1919-04-13 to 2044-04-12 AD). Dates up to the active year are verified against official Government of Nepal gazettes. Every year in Ashwin (Ashoj), mapping tables are updated with official solar ingress corrections upon release of the new calendar.
- **Date Manipulation & Arithmetic**: Add or subtract days, months, and years with automatic edge-case handling for variable Nepali month lengths (29 to 32 days).
- **Government of Nepal Fiscal Year**: Native support for Nepali fiscal years (Shrawan 1 to Ashadh end), fiscal quarters (Q1: Shrawan-Ashwin, Q2: Kartik-Poush, Q3: Magh-Chaitra, Q4: Baisakh-Ashadh).
- **Formatting & Localization**: Flexible date format tokens (`YYYY-MM-DD`, `DD MMMM YYYY`, `dddd`, etc.) rendered in English and Devanagari numerals and script.
- **Date Comparison & Queries**: Check `isBefore`, `isAfter`, `isSame`, `isLeapYear`, `startOfMonth`, `endOfMonth`, `startOfYear`, `endOfYear`.

## Quick Start Code Recipes

### NodeJS / TypeScript
```typescript
import { NepaliDate } from "nepali-date-library";

// Current Nepali date
const today = new NepaliDate();
console.log(today.format("YYYY-MM-DD")); // e.g. 2081-06-29

// Convert AD to BS
const bs = NepaliDate.fromAD(new Date("2024-10-15"));
console.log(bs.format("DD MMMM YYYY")); // 29 Ashwin 2081

// Date manipulation
bs.addDays(30);

// Nepal Fiscal Year
console.log(bs.getFiscalYear()); // 2081/82
```

### Python
```python
from nepali_date_library import NepaliDate
from datetime import date

# Current Nepali date
today = NepaliDate()
print(today.format("YYYY-MM-DD"))

# Convert AD to BS
bs = NepaliDate.from_ad(date(2024, 10, 15))
print(bs.format("DD MMMM YYYY"))

# Date manipulation
bs.add_days(30)

# Nepal Fiscal Year
print(bs.get_fiscal_year()) # 2081/82
```

### PHP
```php
use NepaliDateLibrary\NepaliDate;
use DateTime;

// Current Nepali date
$today = new NepaliDate();
echo $today->format("YYYY-MM-DD");

// Convert AD to BS
$bs = NepaliDate::fromAD(new DateTime("2024-10-15"));
echo $bs->format("DD MMMM YYYY");

// Date manipulation
$bs->addDays(30);

// Nepal Fiscal Year
echo $bs->getFiscalYear(); // 2081/82
```
