Methods
- getTestNow() : Closure|CarbonInterface|null
- Get the Carbon instance (real or mock) to be returned when a "now" instance is created.
- hasTestNow() : bool
- Determine if there is a valid test instance set. A valid test instance is anything that is not null.
- setTestNow() : void
- Set a Carbon instance (real or mock) to be returned when a "now" instance is created. The provided instance will be returned specifically under the following conditions: - A call to the static now() method, ex. Carbon::now() - When a null (or blank string) is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon(null) - When the string "now" is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon('now') - When a string containing the desired time is passed to Carbon::parse().
- setTestNowAndTimezone() : void
- Set a Carbon instance (real or mock) to be returned when a "now" instance is created. The provided instance will be returned specifically under the following conditions: - A call to the static now() method, ex. Carbon::now() - When a null (or blank string) is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon(null) - When the string "now" is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon('now') - When a string containing the desired time is passed to Carbon::parse().
- withTestNow() : T
- Temporarily sets a static date to be used within the callback.
- getMockedTestNow() : CarbonInterface|null
- Get the mocked date passed in setTestNow() and if it's a Closure, execute it.
- getMockedTestNowClone() : CarbonInterface|self|null
- mockConstructorParameters() : void
- nowFromClock() : DateTimeImmutable|null
Methods
getTestNow()
Get the Carbon instance (real or mock) to be returned when a "now" instance is created.
public
static getTestNow() : Closure|CarbonInterface|null
Return values
Closure|CarbonInterface|null —the current instance used for testing
hasTestNow()
Determine if there is a valid test instance set. A valid test instance is anything that is not null.
public
static hasTestNow() : bool
Return values
bool —true if there is a test instance, otherwise false
setTestNow()
Set a Carbon instance (real or mock) to be returned when a "now" instance is created. The provided instance will be returned specifically under the following conditions: - A call to the static now() method, ex. Carbon::now() - When a null (or blank string) is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon(null) - When the string "now" is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon('now') - When a string containing the desired time is passed to Carbon::parse().
public
static setTestNow([DateTimeInterface|Closure|static|string|false|null $testNow = null ]) : void
Note the timezone parameter was left out of the examples above and has no affect as the mock value will be returned regardless of its value.
Only the moment is mocked with setTestNow(), the timezone will still be the one passed as parameter of date_default_timezone_get() as a fallback (see setTestNowAndTimezone()).
To clear the test instance call this method using the default parameter of null.
/!\ Use this method for unit tests only.
Parameters
- $testNow : DateTimeInterface|Closure|static|string|false|null = null
-
real or mock Carbon instance
setTestNowAndTimezone()
Set a Carbon instance (real or mock) to be returned when a "now" instance is created. The provided instance will be returned specifically under the following conditions: - A call to the static now() method, ex. Carbon::now() - When a null (or blank string) is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon(null) - When the string "now" is passed to the constructor or parse(), ex. new Carbon('now') - When a string containing the desired time is passed to Carbon::parse().
public
static setTestNowAndTimezone([DateTimeInterface|Closure|static|string|false|null $testNow = null ][, mixed $timezone = null ]) : void
It will also align default timezone (e.g. call date_default_timezone_set()) with the second argument or if null, with the timezone of the given date object.
To clear the test instance call this method using the default parameter of null.
/!\ Use this method for unit tests only.
Parameters
- $testNow : DateTimeInterface|Closure|static|string|false|null = null
-
real or mock Carbon instance
- $timezone : mixed = null
withTestNow()
Temporarily sets a static date to be used within the callback.
public
static withTestNow(DateTimeInterface|Closure|static|string|false|null $testNow, callable $callback) : T
Using setTestNow to set the date, executing the callback, then clearing the test instance.
/!\ Use this method for unit tests only.
Parameters
- $testNow : DateTimeInterface|Closure|static|string|false|null
-
real or mock Carbon instance
- $callback : callable
