UserTimezone for Laravel 5.2+
=============================

[](#usertimezone-for-laravel-52)

Instead of manually writing mutators or making app-wide timezone changes, this package allows one to set a user-based timezone.

It will automatically convert dates using Laravel's "dates" column without the need to write custom mutators for each attribute.
