[Opening Hours for Laravel](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/opening-hours-for-laravel.md)

# Days, weeks and structured data

Day and week views are wall-clock views: they show ranges as defined, with exceptions applied wherever a real date is involved:

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\OpeningHours\Enums\Weekday;

$hours->forDate('2026-12-24')->toString();     // "Closed" or "09:00–12:00" (translated)
$hours->forDate('2026-12-24')->ranges;         // list<TimeRange>
$hours->forDate('2026-12-24')->source;         // DaySource::Schedule|Exception|Dynamic|None
$hours->isOpenOnDate('2026-12-24');
$hours->isOpenOn('monday');                    // regular schedule, exceptions ignored
$hours->forWeekday(Weekday::Monday);
$hours->forWeek()->grouped();                  // list<WeekdayGroup>: Mon–Fri · Sat · Sun, each with its hours
$hours->forWeek()->keyed();                    // ['monday' => DayHours, …]
$hours->forWeekOf('2026-09-30');               // the seven actual dates, exceptions applied
$hours->forPeriod('2026-12-20', '2026-12-31');
$hours->regularClosingDays();                  // list<Weekday>
$hours->toStructuredData()->toJson();          // schema.org OpeningHoursSpecification
```

isOpenOnDate() checks whether any range starts on that date; isOpenOn() and forWeekday() read the regular schedule and ignore exceptions. A DateTimeInterface passed where a date is expected is converted to the calendar timezone first.

## Rendering days and groups

DayHours::toString(rangeSeparator, timeSeparator, locale, closedText) renders a day. Without closedText a closed day reads the translated “Closed” and a single all-day range “Open 24 hours”; any explicit closedText — even '' — gives literal output. forWeek()->grouped() folds identical consecutive days into groups (grouped(false) also merges non-consecutive ones), each with a translated label() such as Mon–Fri:

```php
$day = $hours->forDate('2026-12-24');

$day->toString();                            // "09:00–12:00, 13:00–18:00", or the translated "Closed"
$day->toString(',', '-', closedText: '');    // "09:00-12:00,13:00-18:00" — literal, '' when closed
$day->toString(locale: 'sk');
$day->isOpenAllDay();
$day->totalMinutes();
$day->label;                                 // an exception's label, e.g. "Christmas"

foreach ($hours->forWeek()->grouped() as $group) {
    echo $group->label().' '.$group->hoursText();   // "Mon–Fri 08:00–17:00"
}
```

## Structured data

toStructuredData() emits schema.org OpeningHoursSpecification items for JSON-LD. 24:00 becomes 23:59, overnight ranges keep opens 22:00 / closes 02:00, a seasonal schedule adds validFrom and validThrough, and one-off exceptions within api.upcoming\_exceptions\_days add dated items (closed days open and close at 00:00):

```php
$hours->toStructuredData()->toJson();
// [{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":"https://schema.org/Monday","opens":"09:00","closes":"17:00"}, …]

$jsonLd = [
    '@context' => 'https://schema.org',
    '@type' => 'MedicalClinic',
    'name' => $clinic->name,
    'openingHoursSpecification' => $hours->toStructuredData()->toArray(),
];
```

## Weekday enum

Weekday is a string-backed enum with parsing, ordering and translation helpers, plus the enums-for-laravel helpers such as toOptions() for select inputs:

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\OpeningHours\Enums\Weekday;

Weekday::fromKey('Mon');                 // Weekday::Monday
Weekday::ordered(Weekday::Sunday);       // [Sunday, Monday, …, Saturday]
Weekday::Friday->translated('sk');       // localized long name
Weekday::Friday->translated(short: true);
Weekday::Saturday->isWeekend();          // true
Weekday::toOptions();                    // value => label map for select inputs
```

## Translations

Weekday names (long and short), “Closed”, “Open 24 hours”, the unavailable reasons and every validation message ship in English and Slovak under the opening-hours namespace. Publish them with the opening-hours-translations tag to reword or add a locale.
