Install composer from here.

Install Git bash from here

Create a project by running command on git bash:

composer create-project laravel/laravel DateConverter

Go to the project :

cd DateConverter

Create a Controller :

php artisan make:controller DateController

And now write the code into DateController by cloning as follows

git clone https://github.com/EkloSahas/NepaliDateConverter.git

Create two functions in helpers as

if (!function_exists('get_nepali_date')) {
    function get_nepali_date($date)
    {
        $bsdate = new DateController();
        return $bsdate->eng_to_nep($date);

    }
}

if (!function_exists('get_english_date')) {
    function get_english_date($date)
    {
        $bsdate = new DateController();
        return $bsdate->nep_to_eng($date);

    }
}

Don't forget to import the DateController class in helper

use App\Http\Controllers\DateController;

Now Create another Controller :

php artisan make:controller TestController

And now write the code into TestController as follows

public function convert()
{
$english_date="2019-06-20";
$nepali_date="2052-08-03";

echo get_nepali_date($english_date);// A.D. to B.S.
echo "\n";
echo get_english_date($nepali_date);// B.S. to A.D.
}

Now create a url for the convert function TestController

Route::get('/convert','TestController@convert');

Now run the project and goto url

php artisan serve
#goto url
localhost:8000/convert

The date format should be in "Y-m-d"
