Time Formatter
==============

[](#time-formatter)

Small Utility class to format *remaining* time of something into a human-readable form.

Example
-------

[](#example)

Given `Milk` having a `bestBefore` Timestamp, we can calculate its remaining *lifetime* like so

```
/** @var Milk $myMilk */
$myMilk = $fridge->getMyMilk();
/** @var \DateTimeImmutable $bestBefore */
$bestBefore = $myMilk->getBestoBefore();

$secondsUntilBad = $bestBefore->getTimestamp() - time();

$formatter = new \nehlsen\TimeFormatterBundle\TimeFormatter\TimeFormatter();
$formattedBestBefore = $formatter->format($secondsUntilBad);
// $formattedBestBefore == '3 Days 1 Hour 17 Seconds';
```

For a range of options and examples see [example1.php](example/example1.php)

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

[](#installation)

1. Require the library ```
    composer require nehlsen/time-formatter
    ```
2. For the translations to work, the provided files can be used, copied, linked. But they are not enabled automatically.
