A filtering implementation for verifying correct data and performing typical modifications to common date objects.

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

[](#requirements)

Requires PHP 7.0 or newer and uses composer to install further PHP dependencies. See the [composer specification](composer.json) for more details.

Composer
--------

[](#composer)

To add the library as a local, per-project dependency use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org)! Simply add a dependency on `traderinteractive/filter-dates` to your project's `composer.json` file such as:

```
composer require traderinteractive/filter-dates
```

### Functionality

[](#functionality)

#### DateTime::filter

[](#datetimefilter)

This will filter the value as a `\DateTime` object. The value can be any string that conforms to [PHP's valid date/time formats](http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php)

The following checks that `$value` is a date/time.

```
$dateTime = \TraderInteractive\Filter\DateTime::filter('2014-02-04T11:55:00-0500');
```

#### DateTime::format

[](#datetimeformat)

This will filter a given `\\DateTime' value to a string based on the given format.

The following returns formatted string for a given `\DateTime` `$value`

```
$formatted = \TraderInteractive\Filter\DateTime::format($value, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
```

#### DateTimeZone::filter

[](#datetimezonefilter)

This will filter the value as a `\DateTimeZone` object. The value can be any [supported timezone name](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)

The following checks that `$value` is a timezone

```
$timezone = \TraderInteractive\Filter\DateTimeZone::filter('America/New_York');
```

#### TimeOfDayFilter::filter

[](#timeofdayfilterfilter)

This will filter values as a time-of-day string in the format of `HH:MM:SS`

The following checks that `$value` is a valid time-of-day string

```
$timeOfDay = \TraderInteractive\Filter\TimeOfDayFilter::filter('12:00:59');
```
