For more information, read Camron's [helpful article](https://www.camroncade.com/managing-timezones-with-laravel/) on managing timezones in Laravel. The array of timezones and their underlying keys were taken from the repository by [tamaspap](https://github.com/tamaspap/timezones). Installation ------------ [](#installation) Recommended installation of this package is through composer. Run the following snippet to add Timezone to your project: ``` composer require zaengle/timezone ``` ***Note:** You may jump to Usage if you are on Laravel 5.5+* Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the service providers array. ``` 'Zaengle\Timezone\TimezoneServiceProvider' ``` In order to use the Facade, update the aliases array as such: ``` `Timezone` => `Zaengle\Timezone\Facades\Timezone`, ``` Now it's ready for use! Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Timezone Convert Helper Functions [](#timezone-convert-helper-functions) The package includes two helper functions that make it easy to deal with displaying and storing timezones, `convertFromUTC()` and `convertToUTC()`: Each function accepts two required parameters and a third optional parameter dealing with the format of the returned timestamp. ``` Timezone::convertFromUTC($timestamp, $timezone, $format); Timezone::convertToUTC($timestamp, $timezone, $format); ``` The first parameter accepts a timestamp, the second accepts the name of the timezone that you are converting to/from. The option values associated with the timezones included in the select form builder can be plugged into here as is. Alternatively, you can use any of [PHP's supported timezones](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php). The third parameter is optional, and default is set to `'Y-m-d H:i:s'`, which is how Laravel natively stores datetimes into the database (the `created_at` and `updated_at` columns). ### Building a select form [](#building-a-select-form) Using the `Timezone::toSelectArray()` you can build an array of enabled timezones similar to this: ``` [ "America/Los_Angeles" => "(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)", "US/Mountain" => "(UTC-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)", "US/Central" => "(UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)", "US/Eastern" => "(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)", ] ``` Then, in your Blade template you have control over formatting: ``` @foreach(Timezone::toSelectArray() as $key=>$val) timezone === $val) selected @endif>{!! $key !!} @endforeach ``` ### Customizing timezones [](#customizing-timezones) If you want to customize which timezones are displayed in the `toSelectArray()` method, publish the package configuration file and enable/disable individual timezones: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config --provider="Zaengle\Timezone\TimezoneServiceProvider" ``` ### Credits [](#credits) [Camron Cade](https://github.com/camroncade/timezone) ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 58.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
