Informations about the package timezone
Timezone Select Form Builder
This package is a fork from Camron Cade modified to fit Zaengle's usage. For more information, read Camron's helpful article on managing timezones in Laravel. The array of timezones and their underlying keys were taken from the repository by tamaspap.
Installation
Recommended installation of this package is through composer. Run the following snippet to add Timezone to your project:
composer require zaengle/timezoneNote: You may jump to Usage if you are on Laravel 5.5+
Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open config/app.php, and add a new item to the service providers array.
'Zaengle\Timezone\TimezoneServiceProvider'In order to use the Facade, update the aliases array as such:
`Timezone` => `Zaengle\Timezone\Facades\Timezone`,Now it's ready for use!
Usage
Timezone Convert Helper Functions
The package includes two helper functions that make it easy to deal with displaying and storing timezones, convertFromUTC() and convertToUTC():
Each function accepts two required parameters and a third optional parameter dealing with the format of the returned timestamp.
Timezone::convertFromUTC($timestamp, $timezone, $format);
Timezone::convertToUTC($timestamp, $timezone, $format);The first parameter accepts a timestamp, the second accepts the name of the timezone that you are converting to/from. The option values associated with the timezones included in the select form builder can be plugged into here as is. Alternatively, you can use any of PHP's supported timezones.
The third parameter is optional, and default is set to 'Y-m-d H:i:s', which is how Laravel natively stores datetimes into the database (the created_at and updated_at columns).
Building a select form
Using the Timezone::toSelectArray() you can build an array of enabled timezones similar to this:
[
"America/Los_Angeles" => "(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)",
"US/Mountain" => "(UTC-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)",
"US/Central" => "(UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)",
"US/Eastern" => "(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)",
]Then, in your Blade template you have control over formatting:
<select name="timezone" id="timezone">
@foreach(Timezone::toSelectArray() as $key=>$val)
<option value="{{ $val }}" @if($union->timezone === $val) selected @endif>{!! $key !!}</option>
@endforeach
</select>Customizing timezones
If you want to customize which timezones are displayed in the toSelectArray() method, publish the package configuration file and enable/disable individual timezones:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config --provider="Zaengle\Timezone\TimezoneServiceProvider"
