Laravel Timezoned
=================

[](#laravel-timezoned)

A lightweight Laravel package that automatically converts Eloquent model date attributes between the database timezone and the user's timezone.

- **DB → User timezone** when reading attributes
- **User → DB timezone** when writing attributes

This ensures consistent and intuitive date handling across different user timezones.

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require gnireeg/laravel-timezoned
```

Optionally publish the config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config
```

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Gnireeg\LaravelTimezoned\HasTimezoneConversion;

class Event extends Model
{
    use HasTimezoneConversion;

    protected array $timezonedAttributes = ['starts_at', 'ends_at'];
}
```

### Reading Attributes

[](#reading-attributes)

```
// Automatically converted to user's timezone
$event->starts_at; // Returns Carbon in user's timezone
```

### Writing Attributes

[](#writing-attributes)

```
// Automatically converted to database timezone
$event->starts_at = '2025-03-10 15:00';
$event->save();
```

### Raw Attribute Access

[](#raw-attribute-access)

```
// Get the value in database timezone (bypass conversion)
$event->getRawAttribute('starts_at');
```

---

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The package config (`config/timezoned.php`) has two options:

### Timezone Resolver

[](#timezone-resolver)

Determines the user's timezone. Receives the model instance as a parameter.

```
// Default: uses authenticated user's timezone
'timezone_resolver' => function ($model) {
    return auth()->user()?->timezone ?? 'UTC';
},

// Or use session
'timezone_resolver' => fn() => session('timezone', 'UTC'),

// Or request header
'timezone_resolver' => fn() => request()->header('X-Timezone', 'UTC'),
```

### Database Timezone

[](#database-timezone)

The timezone your database stores dates in. Set to `null` to use `config('app.timezone')`.

```
'database_timezone' => null, // Uses app.timezone
'database_timezone' => 'UTC', // Explicit UTC
```

---

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The trait overrides two Eloquent methods:

- `getAttribute()` - converts dates from database timezone to user's timezone
- `setAttribute()` - converts dates from user's timezone to database timezone

Both `Carbon` and `CarbonImmutable` instances are supported.

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.1
- Laravel 10, 11, or 12
- Carbon >= 2

---

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
