Hijri Bundle

The Laravel Hijri bundle can be used to convert Gregorian to formatted Islamic Hijri date.

Installing using Artisan CLI:

php artisan bundle:install hijri

Either auto-load the bundle in application/bundles.php:

return array(
    'hijri' => array('auto' => true)
);

Or manually start:

Bundle::start('hijri');

To get the Arabic translation for Hijri date

Set the "language" in application\config\application.php to "ar"

	/*
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	| Default Application Language
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	|
	| The default language of your application. This language will be used by
	| Lang library as the default language when doing string localization.
	|
	*/

	'language' => 'ar',
