A PHP library providing enhanced date and time manipulation functions with improved validation and formatting capabilities.

Installation

composer require vairogs/functions-date

Requirements

PHP 8.4 or higher

Usage

There are two ways to use this package: via the Functions class or by directly using the traits.

Using the Functions Class

The Functions class provides enhanced date and time manipulation functions with better validation and formatting capabilities.

use Vairogs\Functions\Date\Functions;

// Create a new Functions instance
$date = new Functions();

// Format a date
$formatted = $date->formatDate('2023-01-15', 'Y-m-d');

// Validate a date
$isValid = $date->validateDate('15022023');

// Convert Excel date to regular date
$excelDate = $date->excelDate(44941, 'd-m-Y');

// Convert Unix timestamp to formatted date
$fromTimestamp = $date->fromUnixTimestamp(1673740800, 'd-m-Y H:i:s');

// Format time duration
$formattedTime = $date->format(3665); // "1 hour 1 minute 5 seconds"

Using Traits Directly

Alternatively, you can use the traits directly in your own classes:

use Vairogs\Functions\Date\Traits\_FormatDate;
use Vairogs\Functions\Date\Traits\_ValidateDate;
use Vairogs\Functions\Date\Traits\_ExcelDate;

class MyClass
{
    // Import the traits you need
    use _FormatDate;
    use _ValidateDate;
    use _ExcelDate;

    public function doSomething(): void
    {
        // Use the methods directly
        $formatted = $this->formatDate('2023-01-15', 'Y-m-d');
        $isValid = $this->validateDate('15022023');
        $excelDate = $this->excelDate(44941, 'd-m-Y');
    }
}

Note that some traits may depend on other helper traits or components. The Functions class handles these dependencies for you, but if you use the traits directly, you may need to include these helper traits as well.
