PHP: Adds Carbon Support for US Holidays + Laravel Facade

This extends Carbon and adds support for 42 US holidays.

** New Date Package Available **

I’ve released a new, more flexible date package: Useful Dates. It makes it easy to define your own "useful dates" — anything from birthdays and holidays to one-off reminders — with support for multiple repeat frequencies (yearly, monthly, none, custom) and supports any custom logic to calculate dates you might need.

Useful Dates also supports extensions, so others can build and share date groups (for example, national holidays for different countries).

I’ve also published a US Holidays extension: Useful Dates - US Holidays. The extension supports the same 42 holidays, and I have made simple to get "observed" holiday dates too.

I will continue to maintain this US Holidays package too.

Usage

Installation

composer require geoffreyrose/us-holidays

With Plain PHP

use USHolidays\USHolidays;

...

$holidays = USHolidays::create(2020, 1, 1);
$holidays = $holidays->getHolidaysByYear();

With Laravel Facade

Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, which doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider and Facade.

$holidays = USHolidays::getHolidaysByYear();

Examples

Note all examples below use Plain PHP (use USHolidays\USHolidays) but can be swapped with Laravel Facade (USHolidays)
