The `ariyanshipu/laravel-countdown` and easy way to get the time difference between two dates, with an extra bonus trait for eloquent.

I needed to get the diffrence of time, and while the [very good Carbon](https://github.com/briannesbitt/carbon) gives me helper to retreive difference in time in different time unit (hours, minutes, etc), there is no method to calculate it all at the same time. Carbon's `diffForHumans` is pretty close, but there is no control over how it displays information, and what information it displays.

Install
-------

[](#install)

You can install this package via composer:

```
 composer require ariyanshipu/laravel-countdown
```

Usage with Laravel Latest Version
---------------------------------

[](#usage-with-laravel-latest-version)

Edit file: `bootstrap/providers.php`

```
    return [
        // ...
        Ariyanshipu\LaravelCountdown\CountdownServiceProvider::class,
        // ...
    ];
```

Edit file: `bootstrap/app.php`

```
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
            $middleware->alias([
                // ...
                    'Countdown' => Ariyanshipu\LaravelCountdown\Facades\CountdownFacade::class,
                // ...
            ]);
        })
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Ariyanshipu\LaravelCountdown\Countdown;

// To get time from 5 years ago until now, you can do the following.
// Note that you can send a string to the from and to methods, we will
// try to parse it with Carbon behind the scene
$now = Carbon::now();

$countdown = Countdown::from($now->copy()->subYears(5))
                        ->to($now)->get();

// The above will return the Countdown class where you can access the following values.
// Those mean that from 5 years ago to now, there is 5 years, 1 week, 1 day, 2 hours 15 minutes and 23 seconds

$countdown->years; // 5
$countdown->weeks; // 1
$countdown->days; // 1
$countdown->hours; // 2
$countdown->minutes; // 15
$countdown->seconds; // 23

// It will of course, also work in reverse order of time.
// This will get the time between now and some future date
$countdown = Countdown::from($now)
             ->to($now->copy()->addYears(5))
             ->get();

// To return to humans string
$countdown->toHuman(); // 18 years, 33 weeks, 2 days, 18 hours, 4 minutes and 35 seconds

// You to can pass custom string to parse in method toHuman, like this:
$countdown->toHuman('{days} days, {hours} hours and {minutes} minutes'); // 2 days, 18 hours, 4 minutes
```

Eloquent Trait
--------------

[](#eloquent-trait)

```
// For convenience, we provide a trait that you can add to any model in your Laravel app that provides
// quick methods to get the values of time between dates. For example:

use Ariyanshipu\LaravelCountdown\Traits\CalculateTimeDiff;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable, CalculateTimeDiff;
    //...
}
```

#### Example to use Trait:

[](#example-to-use-trait)

```
// This enables the following:
// You should have casted your attributes to dates beforehand
$user = User::find(1);
$user->elapsed('trial_ends_at'); // get the time elapsed between the date in attribute trial_ends_at to now
$user->until('trial_ends_at'); // get the time from now until the date in attribute trial_ends_at
```
