1# Nginx Office Hours
2
3A victory for the server's labor rights: An nginx module that allows you to serve your content only during office hours.

5## Using the directive
6
7The `office_hours` directive expects a list of time ranges separated by
8spaces. The first range will be used as the default, and the rest will
9be read from right to left, ending with *sunday*
10
11### Example 1: Open 24 hours
12
13Don't use this directive.
14
15### Example 2: Open every day from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM
16
17```
18office_hours 8:30-19;
19```
20
21Some things worth noting here: the format of time ranges uses 24 hour
22style, so no pesky AMs or PMs. Likewise, minutes are optional. Finally,
23note that since only one range was defined, this is applied to all days
24of the week. Another noteworthy
25
26### Example 3: Open every day from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM, but closed sundays
27
28```
29office_hours 8:30-19 closed;
30```
31
32Two important things here: first notice that the closed keyword
33specifies that the server is closed on a specific day; second, notice
34how the last element is used for sunday, while the first one still
35applies to Monday-Saturday.
36
37### Example 4: Open weekdays from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturdays 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed on sundays
38
39```
40office_hours 8:30-19 10-16 closed;
41```
42
43Now hopefully you can see the pattern: The first time range applies to
44Monday-Friday, next one to Saturday and last one to Sunday.
45
46### Example 5: Open weekdays from 08:30 AM to 7:00 PM, closed on thursdays, reduced hours on weekends.
47
48```
49office_hours 8:30-19 closed 8:30-19 10-16 10-16;
50```
51
52Since we had to specify from Thursday, we have to explicitly set the
53values for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
54
55### Example 6: Closed every day.

57Uninstall nginx.

59## What you will need to get started
60
61* [astyle][astyle]: Used to format the code
62* An `nginx` [source distribution][nginx] to compile the code.
63* A way to compile `nginx`. Check out [their guide][nginx-guide]!
64
65## Building the module
66
67You can build office hours as a dynamic module. From the `nginx` source
68directory run:
69
70```
71./configure --add-dynamic-module=/path/to/ngx_http_office_hours_filter_module
72make
73```
74
75For more information check the [nginx docs][nginx-module-docs]
76
77## Installing git hooks
78
79This repo contains a pre-commit git hook so indent will run before every
80commit. Run `make setup_hooks` to install it.
81
82## Further Improvements
83
84* Add support for timezones (currently only GMT)
85* Add support for public holidays
86* Add support to respect the time zone of the visitor and not just the
87 server
88* Add support for double shifts in the same day
