Humanizer
The humanizer class helps you bring a human touch to your application.
Usage
Files
The fileSize
method converts a file size in bytes to a more human friendly format.
$this->humanizer->fileSize(1024); // Will return "1 KiB"
It will return binary suffixes by default can also make it output file sizes using decimal suffixes by setting the optional second parameter to FALSE.
$this->humanizer->fileSize(1024, false); // Will return "1.02 KB"
Dates
The day
method will return a human friendly representation of the day. If the day isnt within the yesterday/today/tomorrow range then it'll return the date in the format specified by the optional second parameter.
$this->humanizer->day(Time::now()); // Will return "today"
$this->humanizer->day(Time::now()->rewind(60*60*24)); // Will return "yesterday"
$this->humanizer->day(Time::now()->forward(60*60*24)); // Will return "tomorrow"
The time
method will return a human friendly representation of the time. If the time isnt within the yesterday/today/tomorrow range then it'll return the time in the format specified by the optional second parameter. There is also a third parameter that lets you set the clock format.
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()); // Will return "a minute ago"
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()->rewind(60*4)); // Will return "4 minutes ago"
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()->rewind(60*60)); // Will return "today, 08:43"
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()->rewind(60*60*24)); // Will return "yesterday, 08:43"
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()->forward(60*4)); // Will return "in 4 minutes"
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()->forward(60*60)); // Will return "today, 10:43"
$this->humanizer->time(Time::now()->forward(60*60*24)); // Will return "tomorrow, 10:43"
Both the
day
andtime
methods use the I18n class so you can translate the strings to your own language if needed.
