Carbon - format date as : "Today, 11:35 am"?

I wish to display date on my posts as "Today, 11:35 am". How can I do that with Carbon library?

@thebigk Maybe calendar() is what you are looking for?

{{ now()->calendar() }} // Today at 7:45 AM

Alternatively you could work with isToday() and format().

{{ $date->isToday() ? 'Today, ' : 'Whatever' }}
{{ $date->format('g:i a') }} // 7:45 am

That's awesome! I could not find calendar() myself. Searched the Carbon documentation twice!
