README

LaravelNepaliDate is a Laravel package that simplifies the conversion of dates between the Gregorian (English) and Nepali (Bikram Sambat) calendars. This package is a handy tool for projects that require handling dates in both English and Nepali formats, such as websites and applications targeting users in Nepal.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require anuzpandey/laravel-nepali-date

Optionally, you can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="nepali-date-config"

Usage

$engDate = '1996-04-22';
LaravelNepaliDate::from($engDate)->toNepaliDate();
// Result: 2053-01-10

LaravelNepaliDate::from($engDate)->toNepaliDate(format: 'D, j F Y');
// Result: सोम, १० वैशाख २०५३

// Format Specifiers are supported and listed below
LaravelNepaliDate::from($engDate)->toNepaliDate(format: 'D, j F Y', locale: 'en');

LaravelNepaliDate::from($nepDate)->toEnglishDate();

use Anuzpandey\LaravelNepaliDate\Enums\NepaliMonth;
// month can be NepaliMonth::XXX or month number (1-12)
LaravelNepaliDate::daysInMonth(NepaliMonth::BAISAKH, 2053);
// Result: 31

// Get total days in a year
LaravelNepaliDate::daysInYear(2053);
// Result: 365

Format Specifiers

The following format specifiers are supported for formatting dates:

• Y - Year in four digits
• y - Year in two digits
• m - Month in two digits with leading zero (01-12/०१-१२)
• n - Month in one or two digits without leading zero (1-12/१-१२)
• M - Month in three letters (Jan-Dec)
• F - Month in full name (January-December/बैशाख-चैत्र)
• d - Day in two digits with leading zero (01-31/०१-३२)
• j - Day in one or two digits without leading zero (1-31/१-३२)
• D - Day in three letters (Sun-Sat/आइत-शनि)
• l - Day in full name (Sunday-Saturday/आइतबार-शनिबार)
• S - Day in two letters (st, nd, rd, th)

Extending Carbon with NepaliDateMixin

Note: This feature has been deprecated as Carbon doesn't support the months having more than 31 days. This feature has been removed from version 2.0.0.

Helper function

Artisan Commands

Run quick conversions from the CLI:

php artisan nepali-date:convert --from=1996-04-22 --to=np
php artisan nepali-date:today
php artisan nepali-date:range --from=2080-01-01 --until=2080-01-05 --calendar=np --to=en

Common options:

• --format= Output format (defaults to config('nepali-date.default_format'))
• --locale= Output locale en or np
• --strict Enable stricter date validation
• --json Emit JSON output
• --timezone= Timezone for today

Getting Date as Array

You can get the date components as an array for more flexibility:

$engDate = '1996-04-22';
$dateArray = LaravelNepaliDate::from($engDate)->toNepaliDateArray();
// Returns NepaliDateArrayData object with:
// - year: '2053'
// - month: '01'
// - day: '10'
// - npYear: '२०५३'
// - npMonth: '०१'
// - npDay: '१०'
// - dayName: 'Monday'
// - monthName: 'Baisakh'
// - npDayName: 'सोमबार'
// - npMonthName: 'वैशाख'

$nepDate = '2053-01-10';
$dateArray = LaravelNepaliDate::from($nepDate)->toEnglishDateArray();
// Returns similar structure with English date data
