Clock Bundle for Symfony

Unit-Testing anything related to time is hard if the code under test directly accesses the system time. Therefor this bundle provides a clock service wrapping a DateTime instance that represents "now".

Another nice property is, that "now" remains the same during one request.

Usage Examples

The clock also contains some helper functions that help to create easily understandable code related to time.

Test, whether a user may try to login again

After some failures to login the user from a given IP address may not login for some minutes:

$clock->hasElapsed($blockingPeriod, $lastFailedLogin->getDateTime())

Without the helper methods this would look like:

((int)$lastFailedLogin->getDateTime()->format('U')) + $blockingPeriod >= $clock->getTimestamp()

Test, whether a token is still valid

$clock->isExpired($tokenExpirationTime)

Save a file with time as part of the filename

$fileName = $clock->getFileName() . '_datadump';
// e.g. $fileName === '2015-03-25_23-12-59_datadump'
