International DateTime

International datepicker for Laravel Nova

Apply localisation in 71 different locales to Laravel Nova's default DateTime field that currently doesn't support localisation out of the box.

Installation

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require techouse/intl-date-time

Usage

The API is adapted from Nova's default DateTime Field.

The module itself offers a few optional configurations:

• locale - OPTIONAL - Set the module's locale. If you do not it will automatically use your app's config('app.locale'). If you manually define an unsupported locale it will throw an Exception!
• dateFormat - OPTIONAL - Set a date format. If you do not provide it the module will automatically use the appropriate locale's date format. The format must be MomentJS compatible!
• timeFormat - OPTIONAL - Set a time format. The format must be MomentJS compatible! If you manually define an unsupported time format it will throw an Exception!
• minDate - OPTIONAL - Set a minimum/earliest date (inclusively) allowed for selection. Has to be an instance of \DateTime or Carbon\Carbon. Defaults to null.
• maxDate - OPTIONAL - Set a maximum/latest date (inclusively) allowed for selection. Has to be an instance of \DateTime or Carbon\Carbon. Defaults to null.
• placeholder - OPTIONAL - Set a placeholder. If you do not want a placeholder set it to false.
• errorMessage - OPTIONAL - Set a custom error message in case of an invalid date format. If you do not set it it will display an error message in the current locale.
• errorMessageLocale - OPTIONAL - Set a custom error message locale. If not set it equals the set locale or your app's config('app.locale'). If you manually define an unsupported locale it will throw an Exception! Here is the list of all supported locales.
• hideUserTimeZone - OPTIONAL - When applied hides the user time zone next to the form field. Default is false.
• withShortcutButtons - OPTIONAL - When applied shows the user 3 shortcut buttons for 'yesterday, 'today' and 'tomorrow' below the calendar. The buttons are all in English and in order to translate them please edit your language JSON file in the directory resources/lang/vendor/nova.
• withTime - OPTIONAL - Shortcut for displaying the full locale time, e.g. HH:mm:ss. NOTE: The timeFormat option has precedence over withTime.
• withTimeShort - OPTIONAL - Shortcut for displaying the short locale time, e.g. HH:mm. NOTE: The timeFormat option has precedence over withTimeShort.
• userTimeZone - OPTIONAL - Define custom Timezone for specific field - by default Nova.config.userTimezone is used.

Simply use IntlDateTime class instead of DateTime directly or alias it like the example below so you won't have to refactor too much existing code.

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Techouse\IntlDateTime\IntlDateTime as DateTime;

class User extends Resource
{
    /**
     *  This is how you use and configure this module
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            DateTime::make(__('Updated at'), 'updated_at')
                    /**
                     * The module automatically uses your app's locale 
                     * from config('app.locale'), however you can manually
                     * override this by setting it like this.
                     * 
                     * IMPORTANT: Check the list of supported locales below in this readme!
                     * 
                     * NOTE: If the automatic locale is not supported by MomentJS 
                     * the module defaults to 'en-gb' (British English).
