GeoClock
========

[](#geoclock)

**GeoClock** is a lightweight PHP library that implements [PSR-20 ClockInterface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-20/) and returns the current time based on your server’s external IP address.

It supports multiple external providers with automatic fallback if the first one fails.

---

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require ted7021/geo-clock
```

---

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Returns `DateTimeImmutable` based on actual timezone from IP.
- Uses external providers like [WorldTimeAPI](https://worldtimeapi.org), [TimeAPI.io](https://timeapi.io), [ipgeolocation.io](https://ipgeolocation.io).
- Easily extendable: implement your own provider.
- PSR-20 compatible (`ClockInterface`).

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use GeoClock\GeoClockFactory;

$clock = GeoClockFactory::create();

echo $clock->now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
```

Want to specify IP?

```
$clock = GeoClockFactory::create('8.8.8.8');
```

---

Advanced usage with custom providers
------------------------------------

[](#advanced-usage-with-custom-providers)

```
use GeoClock\GeoClockFactory;
use GeoClock\Provider\WorldTimeApiProvider;

$clock = GeoClockFactory::createWithProviders([
    new WorldTimeApiProvider(),
]);

echo $clock->now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
```

---

Providers
---------

[](#providers)

GeoClock includes the following providers:

ProviderRequires API key?`WorldTimeApiProvider`❌ No`TimeApiProvider`❌ No`IpGeolocationProvider`✅ Yes---

Configuration: Timeout and Retries
----------------------------------

[](#configuration-timeout-and-retries)

Each provider supports configurable timeout and retries:

- **Timeout**: maximum number of seconds to wait for a response (default `5.0` seconds).
- **Retries**: number of retry attempts on network errors (default `3` retries).

### Example: Custom timeout and retries

[](#example-custom-timeout-and-retries)

```
use GeoClock\Provider\WorldTimeApiProvider;

// Create a provider with 10 seconds timeout and 5 retries
$provider = new WorldTimeApiProvider(timeout: 10.0, maxRetries: 5);
```

Usage with API Key
------------------

[](#usage-with-api-key)

Some providers require an API key, for example, [ipgeolocation.io](https://ipgeolocation.io).

### Example: Using IpGeolocationProvider

[](#example-using-ipgeolocationprovider)

```
use GeoClock\GeoClockFactory;
use GeoClock\Provider\IpGeolocationProvider;

// Create provider with your API key
$provider = new IpGeolocationProvider('your-api-key-here');

// Create clock using custom provider
$clock = GeoClockFactory::createWithProviders([$provider]);

echo $clock->now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
```
