The timezone package for Laravel provides an easy bi-directional conversion of DateTime into a variety of formats and locales.

🚀 Quick Start
-------------

[](#rocket-quick-start)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Require the package in the `composer.json` of your project.

```
composer require laralabs/timezone

```

Publish the configuration file.

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

```

Edit the configuration file and set your desired default display timezone and format.

### Usage

[](#usage)

A helper function and facade is available, choose your preferred method. For the following examples the default timezone will be `Europe/London` and `d/m/Y H:i:s` as the default format.

**Converting from storage**

```
$date = '2018-09-11 11:00:00';
$result = timezone()->fromStorage($date);
$result->formatToDefault();

Output: 11/09/2018 12:00:00
```

**Converting to storage**

```
$date = '11/09/2018 12:00:00';
$result = timezone()->toStorage($date);

Output: 2018-09-11 11:00:00
```

The package will check for a `timezone` key in the session before defaulting to the configuration value, alternatively it is possible to override the timezone with a second argument.

**Overriding timezone**

```
$toTimezone = 'Europe/London';
timezone()->fromStorage($date, $toTimezone);

$fromTimezone = 'Europe/London';
timezone()->toStorage($date, $fromTimezone);
```

**Model Presenter**

The package also comes with a presenter that can be added to models as a trait, for more information on this see the full documentation available below.
