(PHP) NavigableDate
===================

[](#php-navigabledate)

NavigableDate is a wrapper around core php `DateTime` class. It encapsulates core class and exposes `NavigableDateInterface` that provides ways to navigate through a date. It exposes methods like nextDay, nextWeek, previousDay, nextMonth etc, in addition to methods like `format`, `getTimestamp`,`getOffset`, `getDifference` and `getTimezone`.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

It can be instantiated with normal new operator but that needs you to manually handle the dependencies (`NavigableDate\NavigableDateLocator` provides all the dependencies required).

Recommended way to get an instance is through `NavigableDateFactory` available also in `NavigableDateLocator`.

```

   $NavigableDate = NavigableDate\NavigableDateLocator::getInstance()
                   ->getNavigableDateFactory()
                   ->create('2016-07-11');

   or

   $NavigableDate = NavigableDate\NavigableDateLocator::getInstance()
                   ->getNavigableDateFactory()
                   ->createFromDateTime(new DateTime());

```

Or even easier `NavigableDate\NavigableDateFacade` is provided for the instantiation.

```
   $NavigableDate = NavigableDate\NavigableDateFacade::create('2016-07-11');
```

It includes `NavigableDate\NavigableDateServiceProvider` to integrate this library to Laravel application. Just include this provider in the lists of service providers. After which type hinting `NavigableDate\NavigableDateFactory` will resolve into respective factory class responsible for creating new instance of `NavigableDate\NavigableDate`

Then,

```
   $NextDay = $NavigableDate->nextDay();

   $NextDay->getTimestamp();
   $NextDay->getOffset();
   $NextDay->getTimeZone();
   $NextDay->format('Y-m-d');

   $NextNextDay = $NextDay->nextDay();
   $NextNextDay->nextMonth();

   $resetTime = true;
   $resetDays = true;
   $resetMonths = true;

   $NextDay->previousYear($resetTime, $resetDays, $resetMonths);

   // $resetTime -> resets time to 00:00:00
   // $resetDays -> resets day of the month to 01 | resets day to start of the week i.e. Monday in case of nextWeek|prevWeek
   // $resetMonths -> resets month of the year to 01

```

Also possible to do previousMonth, nextYear with possibility to reset time, days or months available in corresponding methods.

NOTE: For more details about methods it provides, look into `NavigableDate\NavigableDateInterface`
