Carbon Date Diff without Weekends

There is a function in Carbon called, isWeekend(). You may be follow this-

$weekends = [];
$data = Model::get();

foreach($data as $d){
    $createdDate = $d->created_at;
    if($createdDate->isWeekend()){
        array_push($weekends, $createdDate);
    }
}

$totalWorkingDays = count($data) - count($weekends);

Alternatively, may be you can use a custom function in Laravel. Here is the function that can help you-

Off the top of my head (may need to parse carbon docs) you may have to loop through each day. Check if current looped day isWeekday() and add to counter. If not continue loop.

If Carbon does have a helper it probably just loops in the helper function anyways.

Include in your file

use Carbon\Carbon;

And do like this

$dt = Carbon::create(2017, 4, 4);
        $dt2 = Carbon::create(2017, 4, 18);
        $daysForExtraCoding = $dt->diffInDaysFiltered(function(Carbon $date) {
            return !$date->isWeekend();
}, $dt2);
