About Carbon Helpers
--------------------

[](#about-carbon-helpers)

This is collection of reusable PHP Carbon helper functions. Most of my PHP applications make use of Carbon (An international PHP extension for DateTime. ). Since I have become lazier writing this at the top of every view page where I intend to use Carbon:

```
use Carbon\Carbon;

```

Then later on:

```

```

I felt that my quality of life would slightly improve if I would only be just be writing:

```

```

whenever I intend to use Carbon. If you think that makes sense, you are welcome to try out this library
