Lightning Fast Schedule Management for Laravel

The Laravel Zap package is a flexible schedule management system with a deep Laravel integration. With Zap, you can create calendar schedules for Eloquent models for things like events, appointments, recurring events, and more:

use Zap\Facades\Zap;
 
// Weekly team meeting
$meeting = Zap::for($user)
    ->named('Team Standup')
    ->from('2025-01-01')
    ->to('2025-12-31')
    ->addPeriod('09:00', '09:30')
    ->weekly(['monday', 'wednesday', 'friday'])
    ->save();

Part of working with schedule management is performing queries to check for model availability, getting the next available slot, dealing with schedule conflicts, etc.:

// Check availability
$available = $user->isAvailableAt('2025-03-15', '14:00', '16:00');
 
// Get available slots
$slots = $user->getAvailableSlots(
    date: '2025-03-15',
    dayStart: '09:00',
    dayEnd: '17:00',
    slotDuration: 60
);
 
// Check for conflicts
$conflicts = Zap::findConflicts($schedule);
 
// Get schedules for date
$todaySchedules = $user->schedulesForDate(today());

This package could be ideal for appointment booking systems, meeting room management, employee shift management, and other schedule-based applications.
