This package can convert GPS coordinates to time zones using [Google's Time Zone service](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/timezone/intro). Here's a quick example:

```php
GoogleTimeZone::getTimeZoneForCoordinates('51.2194475', '4.4024643');

// Will return this array
[
    "dstOffset" => 0
    "rawOffset" => 3600
    "timeZoneId" => "Europe/Brussels"
    "timeZoneName" => "Central European Standard Time"
]
```

We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).

## Installation

You can install this package through composer.

```bash
composer require spatie/google-time-zone
```
## Laravel installation

Though the package works fine in non-Laravel projects we've included some niceties for our fellow Artisans.

In Laravel will autoregister the package itself, but you should still publish the config file yourself.

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\GoogleTimeZone\GoogleTimeZoneServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

This is the content of the config file:

```php
return [
    /*
     * The api key used when sending timezone requests to Google.
     */
    'key' => env('GOOGLE_MAPS_TIMEZONE_API_KEY', ''),

/*
     * The language param used to set response translations for textual data.
     *
     * More info: https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#languagesupport
     */
    'language' => '',
];
```

## Usage

Here's how you can get the time zone for a given set of coordinates.

```php
$googleTimeZone = new GoogleTimeZone();

$googleTimeZone->setApiKey(config('google-time-zone.key'));

$googleTimeZone->getTimeZoneForCoordinates('51.2194475', '4.4024643');

/*
// Will return this array
[
    "dstOffset" => 0
    "rawOffset" => 3600
    "timeZoneId" => "Europe/Brussels"
    "timeZoneName" => "Central European Standard Time"
]
*/
```

You can get the result back in a specific language.

```php
$googleTimeZone
   ->setLanguage('nl')
   ->getTimeZoneForCoordinates('51.2194475', '4.4024643');

/*
// Will return this array
[
      "dstOffset" => 0
      "rawOffset" => 3600
      "timeZoneId" => "Europe/Brussels"
      "timeZoneName" => "Midden-Europese standaardtijd"
]
*/
```

It is possible to specify a timestamp for the location so that daylight savings can be taken into account. We will set this timestamp to the current time by default.

```php
$googleTimeZone
   ->setTimestamp(new DateTime('13 august 2018'))
   ->getTimeZoneForCoordinates('51.2194475', '4.4024643');

/*
// Will return this array
[
      "dstOffset" => 3600
      "rawOffset" => 3600
      "timeZoneId" => "Europe/Brussels"
      "timeZoneName" => "Central European Summer Time"
]
*/
```

If you are using the package with Laravel, you can simply call `getTimeZoneForCoordinates`.

```php
GoogleTimeZone::getTimeZoneForCoordinates('51.2194475', '4.4024643');

/*
// Will return this array
[
    "dstOffset" => 0
    "rawOffset" => 3600
    "timeZoneId" => "Europe/Brussels"
    "timeZoneName" => "Central European Standard Time"
]
*/
```

When no time zone was found `null` will be returned.
