Carbon is an excellent library to work with time in PHP projects. The Spatie\TestTime\TestTime class contains a few functions that under the hood manipulate the time that's considered the current time by Carbon.
// the flow of time is frozen
TestTime::freeze();
// we're now one year in the future
TestTime::addYear();
// will report the real current year + 1
$year = (new Carbon())->format('Y');You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/test-timeYou can freeze the time with:
TestTime::freeze();Alternatively you can pass in a carbon instance that will be used as the current time.
TestTime::freeze($carbonInstance);You can also pass a format and time.
TestTime::freeze('Y-m-d', '2019-06-12');You can progress the time with any of the carbon functions starting with add or sub.
TestTime::addMinute();
TestTime::subHours(5);
// you can also chain calls
TestTime::addMonth(3)->addYear();composer testPlease see CHANGELOG for more information on what has changed recently.
