You can use the Calculator class to create zodiac objects from any type of date.
use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator as ZodiacCalculator;
// get zodiac from a date
$zodiac = (string) ZodiacCalculator::make('1980-09-15'); // virgo
// make method takes mixed formats
$zodiac = (string) ZodiacCalculator::make('first day of June 2008'); // gemini
// even DateTime objects
$zodiac = (string) ZodiacCalculator::make(new DateTime('1977-03-15')); // pesces
The Zodiac Calculator class always returns zodiac objects, which come with the following handy methods.
use Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator as ZodiacCalculator;
use Intervention\Zodiac\Zodiacs\Virgo;
// make zodiac from a date
$zodiac = ZodiacCalculator::make('1980-09-15');
echo $zodiac->name(); // virgo
echo $zodiac->html(); // ♍
echo $zodiac->localized(); // Jungfrau
if ($zodiac instanceof Virgo) {
# my zodiac sign is virgo ...
}
By including Intervention\Zodiac\EloquentZodiacTrait
your Eloquent Model gets a new zodiac
attribute, which is created based on the birthday
attribute of the current model and returns a zodiac object.
// include trait
class User extends Model
{
use \Intervention\Zodiac\EloquentZodiacTrait;
}
// retrieve zodiac attribute
$user = App\User::create(['birthday' => '1980-03-15']);
$zodiac = $user->zodiac // Intervention\Zodiac\Zodiacs\Pisces
