Carbon Clock
============

[](#carbon-clock)

A clock interface and implementation using the [Carbon](https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/) date manipulation library.

### Usage

[](#usage)

Wherever you need access to the system time, inject a clock implementation by typehinting against the `Clock` interface.

In production environments, create a service from the `SystemClock`, and arrange for this to be injected wherever the `Clock` interface is used.

During testing, you can substitute the `FrozenClock` implementation, which will provide additional features for freezing time, and otherwise manipulating it to make testing time sensitive code much easier.

### Contributing
