A Jalali wrapper for Carbon to use with Laravel.

The idea is to add Jalali functionality to Carbon instances without introducing breaking changes. Also I'm not in a hurry to exhaust all Carbon methods and features here. Just implementing what I need in my projects for now.

Installation

Via composer

$ composer require mokhosh/jarbon

Usage

You can simply convert any Carbon instance to Jalali like this:

$user->created_at->jormat($format) // see links below to know more about date formats

If you wanna use the format helper methods you can do this too, but it's optional:

class User extends Model
{
    use JarbonTrait;
}

Now you can output the Jalali date like this:

$user->created_at->toJString(); // 12:36:20 چهارشنبه 27 شهریور 1398
$user->created_at->toJDateString(); // 1398-06-27
$user->created_at->toJFormattedDateString(); // 27 شهریور 1398
$user->created_at->toJTimeString(); // 12:36:20 i know! but this will render in persian digits if you set the config
$user->created_at->toJDateTimeString(); // 1398-06-27 12:36:20 same as implicit toString in blade but you need to call this explicitly elsewhere
$user->created_at->toJDayDateTimeString(); // چهارشنبه 27 شهریور 1398 12:36 ب.ظ

• PHP date format reference
• PHP strftime reference

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config
or in case I add more publishable stuff:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mokhosh\Jarbon\JarbonServiceProvider"

Help yourself:

// config/jarbon.php

return [

    'default_format' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s', // to render $carbon->jormat() differently
    'convert_numbers' => false, // set to true to get dates like چهارشنبه ۲۷ شهریور ۱۳۹۸ ۱۲:۳۶ ب.ظ

];

TODO

• Add jarbon() helper
• Fluent methods to override config on a single instance
• Cache a Jalali date inside the instance and track Carbon modification to regenerate it on the fly
• Integrate with a client side Jalali datepicker for Jalali datetime inputs in forms
• Helpers to play with Jalali and Gregorian dates
• Unit tests?
• what else?
