khepin/KnpTimeBundle

Provides helpers for time manipulation

Provide a time helper to Symfony2 projects.

INSTALLATION

Add it to your Symfony Project:

git submodule add git://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpTimeBundle.git MyProject/vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/TimeBundle

Add it to your app/autoload.php:

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // Symfony Core Namespaces
    'Symfony'                                             => array($vendorDir.'/symfony/src', $vendorDir.'/bundles'),
    // ...
    // Depencies
    'Knp'                                             => $vendorDir.'/bundles',
    // ...
    // own Namespaces
    // ...
));

Add it to your app/AppKernel.php:

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // Symfony Core Stuff
        new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
        // ...
        // dependencies
        new Knp\Bundle\TimeBundle\KnpTimeBundle(),
        // own bundles
        // ...
    );

    // ...
}

Enable the helper in your config.yml:

knp_time: ~      # Enable the helper for use in templates

USAGE

// Use the helper with Php
echo $view['time']->diff($dateTime); // returns something like "3 minutes ago"
// Use the helper with twig
{{ time_diff(DateTimeObject) }}

Note:

If you are using a different language code than two letters (en_US for example) then should copy the TimeBundle's language files and rename the middle part according to your language:

from:
MyProject/vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/TimeBundle/Resources/translations/time.en.xliff
MyProject/vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/TimeBundle/Resources/translations/time.fr.xliff

to:
MyProject/app/Resources/translations/time.en_US.xliff
MyProject/app/Resources/translations/time.fr_FR.xliff

Don't forget to clear your cache afterwards.
