Medjool
=======

[](#medjool)

A simple extension of PHP's Date/Time module, to make working with dates and times a little smoother.

In general, I think Date/Time is actually pretty great. In some cases, though, things can feel a little clunky, so that's why Medjool is "like PHP dates, only juicier".

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

At Medjool's heart is the `Date` class, which is a Value Object—like `DateTimeImmutable`.

Of note:

- The constructor accepts a date-time string, an integer timestamp, a `DateTimeImmutable`, or a `DateTime`, so there's no need to use different methods to create an instance.
- Provides `toIsoDateString()`, `toIsoDateTimeString()`, `toMysqlDateString()`, and `toMysqlDateTimeString()` to easily format the date.
- `getComponents()` returns all/selected date and time components in an associative array; `getComponent()` returns a single, specified date/time component.
- `startOf()` and its alias, `trunc()`, returns a copy at the very start of the specified date component; `endOf()` returns a copy at the very end of the specified date component.
- `addTo()` adds to the specified date component; `subtractFrom()` subtracts from the specified date component.
- `next()` and `previous()` are shortcuts that call `addTo()` and `subtractFrom()`, respectively. `next()` adds `1` to the specified date component, whereas `previous()` subtracts `1`.
- `isInPast()` and `isInFuture()` simply read better.
- `setTimezone()` gives you the option to preserve the time.
- For convenience: `::tryFrom()` creates an instance or returns `null`; `::tryFormat()` (re)formats a date-ish or returns `null`.
