#### `calculateSunriseSunset(date, latitude, longitude, timezone)`

```javascript
const { calculateSunriseSunset } = require("astrology-insights");

const { sunrise, sunset } = calculateSunriseSunset("2026-03-21", 28.6139, 77.209, "Asia/Kolkata");
// sunrise: "06:25:46", sunset: "18:33:45"
```

#### `calculateChoghadiya(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)`

```javascript
const { calculateChoghadiya } = require("astrology-insights");

const choghadiya = calculateChoghadiya("2026-03-21", sunrise, sunset, "Asia/Kolkata");
// choghadiya.daytimeChoghadiyas: 8 periods

```

#### `calculateRahuKalam(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)`

```javascript
const { calculateRahuKalam } = require("astrology-insights");

```

#### `calculateGulikaKalam(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)`

> **Breaking change in v2.0.0:** Previously accepted a date string only. Now requires `(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)` -- same signature as Rahu Kalam.

```javascript
const { calculateGulikaKalam } = require("astrology-insights");

const gulika = calculateGulikaKalam("2026-03-21", sunrise, sunset, "Asia/Kolkata");
// { start: "06:25:46", end: "07:56:45" }
```

#### `calculateDurMuhurtam(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)`

```javascript
const { calculateDurMuhurtam } = require("astrology-insights");

const dur = calculateDurMuhurtam("2026-03-21", sunrise, sunset, "Asia/Kolkata");
// Inauspicious time periods for the day
```

#### `calculateYamghantKalam(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)`

```javascript
const { calculateYamghantKalam } = require("astrology-insights");

const yamghant = calculateYamghantKalam("2026-03-21", sunrise, sunset, "Asia/Kolkata");

// moon.getMoonPosition: { azimuth, altitude, distance, parallacticAngle }
// moon.getMoonIllumination: { fraction, phase, angle }
// moon.getMoonTimes: { rise: "07:27:08", set: "21:07:18" }
```

#### `calculateBioRhythms(dateOfBirth, targetDate)`

```javascript
const { calculateBioRhythms } = require("astrology-insights");

const bio = calculateBioRhythms("1991-12-10", "2026-03-21");
// bio.data: Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, Intuitive cycles
```

## React Native

The package provides a React Native compatible entry point at `index.rn.js`. It excludes Swiss Ephemeris (native module not available on RN) and exports:

- All legacy utility modules (work offline on device)
- `fetchPanchang()` for server-side Swiss Ephemeris precision via API

```javascript
// Automatically resolved via "react-native" field in package.json
const { fetchPanchang, calculateSunriseSunset } = require("astrology-insights");

// Fetch full Panchang from your API
const result = await fetchPanchang(
  "2026-03-21",
  28.6139,
  77.209,
  "Asia/Kolkata",
  "https://your-app.vercel.app/api/panchang"
);

// Or use offline utilities directly
const { sunrise, sunset } = calculateSunriseSunset("2026-03-21", 28.6139, 77.209, "Asia/Kolkata");
```

## Breaking Changes from v1

### v2.0.0

- **`calculateGulikaKalam`** signature changed from `(date)` to `(date, sunrise, sunset, timezone)` -- now matches Rahu Kalam's signature.
- **`calculateNakshatraV2`** replaces the old `calculateNakshatra` for core nakshatra calculation from raw longitude. The legacy `calculateNakshatras` module is still exported for backward compatibility.

### v2.1.0

- Added birth chart module: `calculateBirthChart`, analysis APIs, dosha detection, divisional charts, Vimshottari Dasha, and recommendations.
- No breaking changes from v2.0.0.
