FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package chronos
CakePHP Chronos
Chronos focuses on providing immutable date/datetime objects. Immutable objects help ensure that datetime objects aren't accidentally modified, keeping data more predictable.
Installation
Installing with composer:
For details on the (minimum/maximum) PHP version see version map.
Usage
Differences with nesbot/carbon
Chronos was originally compatible with Carbon but has diverged and no longer extends the PHP DateTime and DateTimeImmutable classes.
Immutable Object Changes
Immutable objects have a number of advantages:
- Using immutable objects is always free of side-effects.
- Dates and times don't accidentally change underneath other parts of your code.
With those benefits in mind, there are a few things you need to keep in mind when modifying immutable objects:
Calendar Dates
PHP only offers datetime objects as part of the native extensions. Chronos adds
a number of conveniences to the traditional DateTime object and introduces
a ChronosDate object. ChronosDate instances their time frozen to 00:00:00 and the timezone
set to the server default timezone. This makes them ideal when working with
calendar dates as the time components will always match.
Like instances of Chronos, ChronosDate objects are also immutable.
Time-only Values
When you need to work with just times (without dates), use ChronosTime:
ChronosTime is useful for recurring schedules, business hours, or any scenario
where the date is irrelevant.
Testing with Chronos
Chronos provides setTestNow() to freeze time during testing:
PSR-20 Clock Interface
For dependency injection, use ClockFactory which implements PSR-20:
