Create Collection of dates & times with Laravel Hours Helper

Laravel Hours Helper is an amazing package that helps you to create an Illuminate\Support\Collection of dates and times with a specific interval for a specific period. This helper could be useful in generating dropdown selections for a calendar meeting invite or scheduling the duration of an event.
