MyNow
=====

[](#mynow)

Load your own time in order to simulate the current date and time.

Why MyNow?
----------

[](#why-mynow)

Installation with Composer
--------------------------

[](#installation-with-composer)

```
composer require axiocode/mynow
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create the `.time` file in your directory with the timestamp of desired date and time.

```
245671200

```

You can then load `.time` in your application with:

```
$mynow = MyNow\MyNow::create(__DIR__);
```

Replace all calls to the default DateTime() constructor by MyNow DateTime.

```
$now = MyNow\DateTime();
```

If MyNow is not used or no file exists, the default DateTime instance will be used without to break your code.

Loaders
-------

[](#loaders)

Currently only text loader is supported.

Different loaders may be provided to load date/time from different sources such as a database, YAML, etc.

License
-------

[](#license)

MyNow is licensed under [The BSD 3-Clause License](LICENSE).
