Chronos is a lightweight date/time extension for PHP 8+. It extends the native DateTime class and offers Carbon-like helpers implemented in Zephir.

Building the Extension

cd ext
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install

extension=chronos.so

docker build -t chronos-ext .
# Build using the provided Dockerfile and php.ini

You can then run:

docker run --rm chronos-ext php -m | grep chronos

<?php
$chronos = \Chronos\Chronos::now();
echo $chronos->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Install development dependencies and execute the test suite:

composer install
php vendor/bin/pest --configuration ide-stubs/phpunit.xml.dist

All tests should pass without failures.

Create the package.xml file describing the extension and run the pecl package command from the repository root:

pecl package

This will generate a distributable chronos-0.0.1.tgz archive that can be uploaded to PECL.
