Laravel LocalTimezone

Laravel LocalTimezone is a package that helps in managing user local timezones using Laravel's Carbon library and Moment.js.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require iroid/laravel-timezone

Include the view file in your blade templates:

@include('localtimezone::script')

Serviceprovider Configuration

Add below line in AppServiceProvider or Providers.php

Iroid\LocalTimezone\LocalTimezoneServiceProvider::class,

Middleware Configuration

Add the SetLocale middleware to your web middleware group in app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        \Iroid\LocalTimezone\Http\Middleware\SetLocale::class,
        // other middlewares...
    ],
];

Or for laravel 11 and higher add in app/bootstrap/app.php

 ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->web(
            [
                ....
                \Iroid\LocalTimezone\Http\Middleware\SetLocale::class,
            ]
        );
    })

Converting to Local Time

use Iroid\LocalTimezone\LocalTimezone;

$originalTimestamp = '2024-07-24 12:00:00';
$localTime = LocalTimezone::convertToLocalTime($originalTimestamp);

echo $localTime; // Outputs the timestamp in the user's local timezone

You can also specify a custom format for the output:

$customFormattedLocalTime = LocalTimezone::convertToLocalTime($originalTimestamp, 'l, F j, Y g:i A');
echo $customFormattedLocalTime; // Outputs the timestamp in the custom format
