FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package symfony-time-machine

symfony-time-machine

Symfony bundle that adds the capability to change the datetime of an application

Motivation

Writing tests for your application is somewhat nice and easy. But what about testing your application that heavily is based upon DateTime objects?

There is symfony/clock which already provides a ClockInterface which you can use to inject a NativeClock or MockClock into your services.

But that only works for tests. What if you want to test end-to-end? You could change the system time of you server, true, but there is an easier way using this symfony-time-machine.

Installation

If the autoregister doesn't work, add the bundle into your config/bundles.php.

How it works

This bundle relies on the presence of ClockInterface as a service in your application. Therefor you need to have something like this in your services.yaml:

This bundle will set this service to public: true as this is needed to change the service on request.

Now everytime you boot the TimeKernel, it will replace the ClockInterface with a MockClock with a parsed datetime string from either a request query/cookie time-machine or environment variable TIME_MACHINE.

Usage

Web usage

For web usage you have to alter your public/index.php a little.

Console usage

For console usage alter the bin/console.

Register additional TimeMachineHandler

Sometimes you need to alter some other services in your application along with the time-machine. For this you can implement services implementing the TimeMachineHandler interface.

These will be called right after the ClockInterface was changed in the container. The TimeKernel will use the HandlerRegistry to call TimeMachineHandler::handle() on all available services.

For example, you could add the time-machine query parameter to all openapi paths in your application, as shown here using api-platform:
