Rating: 92
Author: dykyi-roman

Overview

Generates PSR-20 compliant clock implementations for time abstraction.

When to Use

•Time-dependent business logic
•Testing time-sensitive code
•Scheduling and time calculations
•Reproducible time behavior

Template: Clock Interface

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Infrastructure\Clock;

use DateTimeImmutable;

interface ClockInterface
{
    public function now(): DateTimeImmutable;
}

Template: System Clock

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Infrastructure\Clock;

use DateTimeImmutable;
use Psr\Clock\ClockInterface;

final readonly class SystemClock implements ClockInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private ?string $timezone = null,
    ) {
    }

    public function now(): DateTimeImmutable
    {
        $now = new DateTimeImmutable('now');

        if ($this->timezone !== null) {
            return $now->setTimezone(new \DateTimeZone($this->timezone));
        }

        return $now;
    }
}

Template: Frozen Clock (Testing)

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Infrastructure\Clock;

use DateTimeImmutable;
use Psr\Clock\ClockInterface;

final class FrozenClock implements ClockInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private DateTimeImmutable $frozenAt,
    ) {
    }

    public function now(): DateTimeImmutable
    {
        return $this->frozenAt;
    }

    public function setTo(DateTimeImmutable $dateTime): void
    {
        $this->frozenAt = $dateTime;
    }

    public static function at(string $datetime): self
    {
        return new self(new DateTimeImmutable($datetime));
    }

    public static function fromTimestamp(int $timestamp): self
    {
        return new self((new DateTimeImmutable())->setTimestamp($timestamp));
    }
}

Template: Offset Clock

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Infrastructure\Clock;

use DateInterval;
use DateTimeImmutable;
use Psr\Clock\ClockInterface;

final readonly class OffsetClock implements ClockInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private ClockInterface $baseClock,
        private DateInterval $offset,
        private bool $subtract = false,
    ) {
    }

    public function now(): DateTimeImmutable
    {
        $now = $this->baseClock->now();

        return $this->subtract
            ? $now->sub($this->offset)
            : $now->add($this->offset);
    }

    public static function ahead(ClockInterface $clock, DateInterval $offset): self
    {
        return new self($clock, $offset, false);
    }

    public static function behind(ClockInterface $clock, DateInterval $offset): self
    {
        return new self($clock, $offset, true);
    }

    public static function daysAhead(ClockInterface $clock, int $days): self
    {
        return new self($clock, new DateInterval("P{$days}D"), false);
    }

    public static function daysBehind(ClockInterface $clock, int $days): self
    {
        return new self($clock, new DateInterval("P{$days}D"), true);
    }
}

Template: Monotonic Clock

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Infrastructure\Clock;

use DateTimeImmutable;
use Psr\Clock\ClockInterface;

final class MonotonicClock implements ClockInterface
{
    private ?DateTimeImmutable $lastTime = null;

    public function __construct(
        private readonly ClockInterface $baseClock,
    ) {
    }

    public function now(): DateTimeImmutable
    {
        $current = $this->baseClock->now();

        if ($this->lastTime !== null && $current <= $this->lastTime) {
            // Ensure time always moves forward
            $current = $this->lastTime->modify('+1 microsecond');
        }

        $this->lastTime = $current;

        return $current;
    }
}

Template: Unit Test

php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Tests\Unit\Infrastructure\Clock;

use App\Infrastructure\Clock\FrozenClock;
use App\Infrastructure\Clock\OffsetClock;
use App\Infrastructure\Clock\SystemClock;

        $after = new DateTimeImmutable();

        self::assertGreaterThanOrEqual($before, $now);
        self::assertLessThanOrEqual($after, $now);
    }

    public function test_system_clock_with_timezone(): void
    {
        $clock = new SystemClock('UTC');

        $now = $clock->now();

        self::assertSame('UTC', $now->getTimezone()->getName());
    }

    public function test_frozen_clock_returns_fixed_time(): void
    {
        $frozenTime = new DateTimeImmutable('2024-01-15 10:30:00');
        $clock = new FrozenClock($frozenTime);

        self::assertEquals($frozenTime, $clock->now());
        self::assertEquals($frozenTime, $clock->now());
    }

    public function test_frozen_clock_can_be_updated(): void
    {
        $clock = FrozenClock::at('2024-01-15 10:30:00');
        $newTime = new DateTimeImmutable('2024-06-01 12:00:00');

        $clock->setTo($newTime);

        self::assertEquals($newTime, $clock->now());
    }

    public function test_offset_clock_adds_time(): void
    {
        $baseClock = FrozenClock::at('2024-01-15 10:30:00');
        $clock = OffsetClock::daysAhead($baseClock, 5);

        $expected = new DateTimeImmutable('2024-01-20 10:30:00');

Usage Example

php

<?php

use App\Infrastructure\Clock\FrozenClock;
use App\Infrastructure\Clock\SystemClock;

// Production: Use system clock
$clock = new SystemClock('UTC');
$service = new SubscriptionService($clock);

// Testing: Use frozen clock
$clock = FrozenClock::at('2024-01-15 10:30:00');
$service = new SubscriptionService($clock);

// Service using clock
final readonly class SubscriptionService
{
    public function __construct(
        private ClockInterface $clock,
    ) {
    }

    public function isExpired(Subscription $subscription): bool
    {
        return $subscription->expiresAt() < $this->clock->now();
    }

    public function daysUntilExpiry(Subscription $subscription): int
    {
        $diff = $this->clock->now()->diff($subscription->expiresAt());

        return $diff->invert ? 0 : $diff->days;
    }
}
