Carbon SF2 Bundle

Carbon datetime component
Symfony2 convertors

This bundle provides an opportunity to convert Request and Form data into Carbon objects. Use a ParamConverter to convert Request data:

...
use Carbon\Carbon;
...

/**
 * @Route("/blog/archive/{start}/{end}")
 * @ParamConverter("start", options={"format": "Y-m-d"})
 * @ParamConverter("end", options={"format": "Y-m-d"})
 */
public function archiveAction(Carbon $start, Carbon $end)
{
}

No code changes are required for converting Form data. Symfony's built-in DateType and DateTimeType are automatically extended to return Carbon instances.

Installation

Step 1: Download Carbon SF2 Bundle using composer

Add Carbon SF2 Bundle in your composer.json:

Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the command:
