Provides a simple abstraction of a clock, following the suggestion by Martin Fowler.

Run

$ composer require ergebnis/clock

Create a new system clock and use it to determine the current time:

<?php

use Ergebnis\Clock;

$timeZone = new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');

$clock = new Clock\SystemClock($timeZone);

$now = $clock->now();

Create a new frozen clock and use it in tests:

<?php

use Ergebnis\Clock;

$now = new \DateTimeImmutable();

$clock = new Clock\FrozenClock($now);

sleep(5);

$stillNow = $clock->now();

Alternatively, create a new frozen clock by freezing a system clock:

<?php

use Ergebnis\Clock;

$timeZone = new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');

$clock = new Clock\SystemClock($timeZone);

$frozenClock = $clock->freeze();

$now = $clock->now();

sleep(5);

$stillNow = $clock->now();
