composer require --dev rachidlaasri/travel

Usage

Travel to a certain date with:

}

Travel to a given date, excute a piece of code and reset:

    // Verify that the user cannot update a post after 10 minutes of its creation time.
    $post = factory(App\Post::class)->create();

    Travel::to('10 minutes', function() use ($post) {
        $this->postJson(route('posts.edit', $post->id), [])
            ->assertStatus(403);
    });
}

{
    // Travel to multiple dates:

Treeware

You're free to use this package, but if it makes it to your production environment I would highly appreciate you buying the world a tree.

It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. If you contribute to my forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.

You can buy trees at offset.earth/treeware
