Installation
============

[](#installation)

Install using composer

```
composer require makkinga/laravel-carbon-helper
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Use the helper as you would the `\Carbon\Carbon()` class

```
{{-- Instead of --}}
{{ \Carbon\Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString() }}

{{-- Use --}}
{{ carbon()->toDateTimeString() }}
```

When no parameters are passed to the helper it will return `now()`. To parse a string just pass it to the helper

```
carbon('2020-02-05')->toDateTimeString();
```
