Learn how to manage timezones in your Laravel Apps

In this video, Ben Holmen teaches us how to manage timezones in your Laravel apps. Some of the highlights include:

  • Store all dates and times in UTC
  • Define a default application Timezone
  • Use Carbon macros for conversions
  • Either automatically or manually, allow the user to select their timezone

Here are the code samples used in the video:
In Application Timezone Macro
Carbon::macro('inApplicationTimezone', function() {
return $this->tz(config('app.timezone_display'));
});

In User Timezone Macro
Carbon::macro('inUserTimezone', function() {
return $this->tz(auth()->user()?->timezone ?? config('app.timezone_display'));
});

Give it a watch and learn all about Timezones and how to easily manage them!
