Installation

Install DateTime with Composer.

composer require raxos/datetime

Requirements

• PHP 8.5 or newer.
• cakephp/chronos, the immutable date and time library the value objects extend.
• jetbrains/phpstorm-attributes for editor metadata.

The package has no required PHP extensions of its own.

Raxos dependencies

• raxos/foundation: provides the StringParsableInterface and other contracts used by the value objects.

Optional integrations

• raxos/database: enables the DateCaster, TimeCaster and DateTimeCaster ORM casters. Install it when you want to bind these value objects to model columns.
• raxos/router: recognizes the value objects as path parameters through StringParsableInterface, so a route segment can bind directly to a Date, Time or DateTime instance.
