Using Dates in Anton ([anton.ch](https://www.anton.ch)).

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

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require ottosmops/antondate
```

Add `date_start`, `date_start_ca`, `date_end`, `date_end_ca` to the database table.

Add the casts to the model:

```
protected $casts = [
    'anton_date_interval' => AntonDateIntervalCast::class,
    'anton_date_start' => AntonDateStartCast::class,
    'anton_date_end' => AntonDateEndCast::class,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package covers two ValueObjects: AntonDate, AntonDateInterval (consisting of two AntonDates).

### Create an AntonDate

[](#create-an-antondate)

```
AntonDate::createFromString('1995-03-01', 1) : AntonDate
// ca. 1995-03-01

AntonDate::guessFromString('4. Mai 1905') : AntonDate
// 1905-05-04

AntonDate::compose(1973, 12, 3, 1) : AntonDate
// ca. 1973-12-03

AntonDate::today() : AntonDate
```

### Validate

[](#validate)

```
AntonDate::isValidString('1997-13-01'); // false
AntonDate::isValidString('ca. 1997-11-01'); // true
```

### Get

[](#get)

```
$antondate->toString();
$antondate->toArray();
$antondate->formatted();
$antondate->toMysqlDate();
$antondate->getCa();
$antondate->getYear();
$antondate->getMonth();
$antondate->getDay();
```

### Compare

[](#compare)

```
$antondate->isEqualTo($antondate2, true); // compare with ca
$antondate->isEqualTo($antondate2); // compare without ca
$antondate->isGreaterThan($antondate2);
$antondate->isLessThan($antondate2);

```

### Rule

[](#rule)

There is also a rule which you can use for validation:

```
use Ottosmops\Antondate\Rules\AntonDateRule;

// Strict mode (default) - uses AntonDate::createFromString()
new AntonDateRule()
new AntonDateRule(strict: true)

// Non-strict mode - uses AntonDate::guessFromString()
new AntonDateRule(strict: false)
```
