Code snippet that can be used to convert input date format before saving model in Laravel 7.
Using Date Mutators:
You can actually have laravel automatically mutate your dates to a Carbon object by adding the dates array to your model:
protected $dates = [
'event_date'
];
Customize Date Formats:
/**
* If you need to customize the format of your timestamp
* columns "created_at" and "updated_at"
* set the $dateFormat property on your model.
* examples:
* 'U' - timestamp (seconds from 01.01.1970)
* 'Y-m-d H:i:s' - e.g. 1985-12-25 15:01:24
* etc.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $dateFormat = 'U';
Also you can Use Carbon to convert TO the d-m-Y format date.
Example:
$user->date_column = Carbon::createFromFormat('d-m-Y', $youdate);
$user->save();
