You could use Carbon directly.
$model = new Model;
$model->date = Carbon::now();
$model->save();
You should then add a property to your model:
protected $dates = ['date'];

Carbon date in database datetime format
Hello,
I was wondering if Carbon has a function to format the time as a datetime (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) format for MySQL database. Searching for this didn't give me anything usefull.
If I now add a date to a database, I'm doing this with the default php date function:
$model = new MyModel;
$model->date = date("Y-m-d H:m:s");
$model->save();
This works like a charm, but wouldn't it be nice if I can leave the format out of it. Because a typographical error is made quickly.
So something like this would be nice:
$model = new MyModel;
$model->date = Carbon::now()->formatDateTime();
$model->save();
I can't find this. But probably I'm searching for the wrong thing, or this is just not in Carbon.
