Support for timezones

[Violet-Vibes]

Hi! I'm currently displaying the time of certain events using $event->displayTime(); but as the users accessing the calendar all have different timezones, this can get confusing at times.

Inside my actual nova resource, I use this to display the time in the users timezone,

DateTime::make('Start At')->sortable()->required()->displayUsing(function ($value) use ($request) { return $value ? Carbon::parse($value)->setTimezone($request->user()->timezone)->toDateTimeString() : $value; }),

Would it be possible (or it maybe already is and I just missed it) to show the times in the calendar in a similar fashion?

You can overwrite both the start and end timestamps of each event in the customizeEvent method, so you could do timezone manipulation there.

I think adding this to customizeEvent should work in your case:

$event->start($event->start()->setTimezone($this->request->user()->timezone));

You should do this for the end() timestamp, too, if you're using it.

You could get the user directly from the Auth facade or a global helper function but since you relied on the request and the CalendarDataProvider has a reference to it, I think this should be fine.

Having said that, perhaps some type of timezone support is required in the library. Right now, not even the app.timezone config variable is used. Maybe I'll add that as a default timezone and allow the implementation to override its value to do something per-user like you are doing.

It was an easy fix, I have just released 1.5 which makes this a little easier for you. If you composer update all you should have to do is implement timezone() in your CalenderDataProvider, so you won't have to fiddle with the start and end dates yourself.

See the documentation, too.

This works wonders, thank you for implementing this so quick! :)
