An easy way to set a timezone for a user in your application and then show date/times to them in their local timezone.

This is a reimplementation of [jamesmills/laravel-timezone](https://github.dev/jamesmills/laravel-timezone) and the cast feature from [amandiobm/laravel-timezone](https://github.com/amandiobm/laravel-timezone/tree/feature-casts)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Supported Laravel versions 9.x, 10.x, 11.x and 12.x

How does it work
----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

This package listens for the `\Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login` event and will then automatically set a `timezone` on your `user` model (stored in the database).

This package uses the [torann/geoip](http://lyften.com/projects/laravel-geoip/doc/) package which looks up the users location based on their IP address. The package also returns information like the users currency and users timezone. [You can configure this package separately if you require](#custom-configuration).

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

You can show dates to your user in their timezone by using

```
{{ Timezone::convertToLocal($post->created_at) }}
```

Or use our nice blade directive

```
@displayDate($post->created_at)
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require medicplus/laravel-timezone
```

You can publish and run the migrations with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MedicPlus\LaravelTimezone\LaravelTimezoneServiceProvider" --tag=migrations
php artisan migrate
```

This will add a `timezone` (can be changed in the configuration file) column to your `users` table.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Showing date/time to the user in their timezone

[](#showing-datetime-to-the-user-in-their-timezone)

Default will use the format `jS F Y g:i:a` and will not show the timezone

```
{{ Timezone::convertToLocal($post->created_at) }}

// 4th July 2018 3:32:am
```

If you wish you can set a custom format and also include a nice version of the timezone

```
{{ Timezone::convertToLocal($post->created_at, 'Y-m-d g:i', true) }}

// 2018-07-04 3:32 New York, America
```

### Using blade directive

[](#using-blade-directive)

Making your life easier one small step at a time

```
@displayDate($post->created_at)

// 4th July 2018 3:32:am
```

And with custom formatting

```
@displayDate($post->created_at, 'Y-m-d g:i', true)

// 2018-07-04 3:32 New York, America
```

### Using models casting class

[](#using-models-casting-class)

You can use the casting class for your models columns, this will let you save the dates in UTC format and then use the attribute accessor to get them in the user timezone.
