This lightweight package automatically converts datetime fields to your users' local timezones without modifying your database, keeping everything in UTC while displaying dates and times in the correct timezone for each user. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Laravel [](#laravel) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require brainlet-ali/laravel-convert-timezone ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Brainlet\LaravelConvertTimezone\TzServiceProvider" --tag="tz-config" ``` Why Use This Package? --------------------- [](#why-use-this-package) Working with timezones in web applications is challenging. Store times in UTC? Display in user's timezone? Filter by local dates? This package solves these problems elegantly: - ✅ **Zero Database Changes** - Keep storing everything in UTC - ✅ **Automatic Conversion** - DateTime fields automatically display in the configured timezone - ✅ **Smart Filtering** - Query by dates/times in any timezone without complex calculations - ✅ **Laravel Native** - Works seamlessly with Eloquent models and query builder - ✅ **Minimal Setup** - Just add a trait to your model and you're ready to go Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) ``` use Brainlet\LaravelConvertTimezone\Traits\ConvertTZ; class Post extends Model { use ConvertTZ; } // That's it! All datetime fields now automatically convert to your configured timezone $post = Post::first(); echo $post->created_at; // 2024-01-15 09:30:00 (in America/New_York instead of UTC) ``` Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) ### Configuration [](#configuration) Set your default timezone in the config file or `.env`: ``` // config/tz.php 'timezone' => env('TIMEZONE', 'America/New_York'), ``` ### Automatic Conversion [](#automatic-conversion) Once you add the `ConvertTZ` trait, all datetime fields (`created_at`, `updated_at`, etc.) are automatically converted: ``` $user = User::create(['email' => 'user@example.com']); echo $user->created_at; // Displays in your configured timezone, not UTC ``` ### Accessor Compatibility [](#accessor-compatibility) The trait respects existing accessors - if you have a custom accessor for a datetime field, it won't interfere: ``` public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value) { // Your custom logic here return $value; // This will take precedence over timezone conversion } ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) For more detailed usage examples and advanced features, see the [full documentation](DOC.md). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.4+ or 8.0+ - Laravel 9.0+ | 10.0+ | 11.0+ - Doctrine DBAL 3.8+ Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
