# Zonex [](https://hexdocs.pm/zonex/readme.html)
An Elixir library for compiling enriched time zone information.
## Installation
Add `zonex` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`. You will also need to install and configure the `ex_cldr` library with the `ex_cldr_time_zone_names` plugin, since Zonex requires a CLDR backend for compiling time zone names.
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:zonex, "~> 0.6.0"},
# Additional required dependencies
{:ex_cldr, "~> 2.33"},
{:ex_cldr_time_zone_names, "~> 0.1"},
# ...
]
end
```
In your application, configure your CLDR backend module:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
use Cldr,
providers: [
Cldr.TimeZoneNames,
# ...
],
# ...
end
```
Then, let Zonex know what CLDR backend module to use in your application config:
```elixir
# config/config.exs
config :zonex, cldr_backend: MyApp.Cldr
```
