Adhik maas or Purushottam maas with DST if applicable are determined and pre calculated here so you will get accurate date conversion.

Install composer from here.

Install Git bash from here

Create a project by running command on git bash:

composer create-project laravel/laravel DateConverter

Go to the project :

cd DateConverter

Create a Controller :

php artisan make:controller DateController

And now write the code into DateController by cloning as follows

git clone https://github.com/EkloSahas/NepaliDateConverter.git

Create two functions in helpers as

if (!function_exists('get_nepali_date')) {
    function get_nepali_date($date)
    {
        $bsdate = new DateController();
        return $bsdate->eng_to_nep($date);

    }
}

if (!function_exists('get_english_date')) {
    function get_english_date($date)
    {
        $bsdate = new DateController();
        return $bsdate->nep_to_eng($date);

    }
}

Don't forget to import the DateController class in helper

use App\Http\Controllers\DateController;

Now Create another Controller :

php artisan make:controller TestController

And now write the code into TestController as follows

public function convert()
{
$english_date="2019-06-20";
$nepali_date="2052-08-03";

echo get_nepali_date($english_date);// A.D. to B.S.
echo "\n";
echo get_english_date($nepali_date);// B.S. to A.D.
}

Now create a url for the convert function TestController

Route::get('/convert','TestController@convert');

Now run the project and goto url

php artisan serve
#goto url
localhost:8000/convert

Important thing to remember

The date format should be in "Y-m-d"
