Carbonite allows you to write unit tests as you would tell a story for times concerns.

[Professionally supported nesbot/carbon is now available](https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/packagist-nesbot-carbon?utm_source=packagist-nesbot-carbon&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=readme)

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require --dev kylekatarnls/carbonite
```

We install Carbonite with `--dev` because it's designed for tests. You watched enough Sci-Fi movies to know time travel paradoxes are too dangerous for production.

If your config matches the requirements:

- PHP >= 8.2
- Carbon >= 3.0.2

It will install the latest version of this package, if you need to support older PHP versions (up to 7.2), Carbon 2, or to use annotations over attributes, then install the version 1.x:

```
composer require --dev kylekatarnls/carbonite:^1
```

Then you can browse the corresponding [Carbonite v1 documentation](https://github.com/kylekatarnls/carbonite/tree/1.x?tab=readme-ov-file#usage).
