Development setup

composer test

Continuous integration

GitHub Actions runs tests automatically on every push and pull request:

• .github/workflows/tests.yml

Publish config

Usage

Helper

bs_date('2026-04-20'); // 2083-01-07 (example)
bs_date(now(), 'Y/m/d');

Facade

use LaravelNepaliDate;

LaravelNepaliDate::toString('2026-04-20');
LaravelNepaliDate::from('2026-04-20');
// ['year' => 2083, 'month' => 1, 'day' => 7, 'formatted' => '2083-01-07']

Blade

@bs($user->created_at)

Auto-convert AD date strings in HTML output

In config/nepali-date.php:

'auto_convert_response_dates' => true,

This scans rendered HTML and converts patterns like:

• 2026-04-20
• 2026/04/20
• 2026.04.20

If you do not want global auto registration in web group:

'auto_register_web_middleware' => false,

Then register manually in your app:

// app/Http/Kernel.php
protected $middlewareAliases = [
    // ...
    'auto.bs.date' => \RakeshRai\LaravelNepaliDate\Http\Middleware\AutoConvertAdDatesToBs::class,
];

Supported range

• Minimum AD: 1943-04-14
• Maximum depends on packaged BS data table (currently through BS 2099 data)

Notes

• Auto conversion is text pattern based. For precise control, prefer bs_date() or @bs(...) in Blade.
• For APIs/JSON, use explicit conversion in transformers/resources.
