## 🌟 Why Tick?

**Tick** is a modern, lightweight PHP date/time library designed to make working with dates and times as painless as possible. If you're familiar with JavaScript libraries like Moment.js or Day.js, you'll feel right at home with Tick.

```php
// Get current date in a specific format
echo tick()->format('MMMM Do, YYYY'); // March 31st, 2025

// Chain methods for complex operations
$nextFriday = tick()->add(1, 'week')->startOf('week')->add(4, 'day');
echo $nextFriday->format('dddd, MMMM D'); // Friday, April 11
```

## 🚀 Installation

**Using [Leaf CLI](https://cli.leafphp.dev) (Recommended)**:

```bash
leaf install date
```

**Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)**:

```bash
composer require leafs/date
```

## 🏁 Quick Start

```php
// Current date and time
echo tick()->now(); // 2025-03-31T12:29:29+00:00

// Parse a specific date
$birthday = tick('1990-05-15');
echo $birthday->format('MMMM D, YYYY'); // May 15, 1990

// Manipulate dates
$futureDate = tick()->add(3, 'months')->subtract(2, 'days');
echo $futureDate->format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // 2025-06-29
```

## 📚 API Reference

### Creating Dates

```php
// Current date and time
tick();
tick()->now();

// From string
tick('2025-03-31');
tick('2025/03/31');
tick('March 31, 2025');

// From DateTime
tick(new DateTime('2025-03-31'));

// From tick object
$tomorrow = tick('2025-03-31')->add(1, 'day');
tick($tomorrow);
```

### Formatting

```php
$date = tick('2025-03-31');

// Standard formats
$date->format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // 2025-03-31
$date->format('MMMM D, YYYY'); // March 31, 2025
$date->format('ddd, MMM D, YYYY'); // Mon, Mar 31, 2025
$date->format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'); // 2025-03-31 12:29:29

// Predefined formats
$date->toDateString(); // 2025-03-31
$date->toTimeString(); // 12:29:29
$date->toDateTimeString(); // 2025-03-31 12:29:29
$date->toISOString(); // 2025-03-31T12:29:29.000Z
```

### Manipulating Dates

```php
$date = tick('2025-03-31');

// Add time
$date->add(1, 'day'); // 2025-04-01
$date->add(2, 'months'); // 2025-05-31
$date->add(1, 'year'); // 2026-03-31

// Subtract time
$date->subtract(1, 'week'); // 2025-03-24
$date->subtract(3, 'hours'); // 2025-03-31 09:29:29

// Start/End of time units
$date->startOf('month'); // 2025-03-01 00:00:00
$date->endOf('year'); // 2025-12-31 23:59:59.999999
$date->startOf('day'); // 2025-03-31 00:00:00
```

### Comparing Dates

```php
$date = tick('2025-03-31');

$date->isBefore('2025-04-01'); // true
$date->isAfter('2025-03-30'); // true
$date->isSame('2025-03-31'); // true
$date->isBetween('2025-03-30', '2025-04-01'); // true
```

### Working with Timezones

```php
// Create a date in a specific timezone
$tokyoTime = tick('2025-03-31', 'Asia/Tokyo');

// Convert between timezones
$newYorkTime = $tokyoTime->setTimezone('America/New_York');
```
