Laravel input old date

You should pass it as a second param what the default should be, like this:

{{ old('nom', $chien->name) }}

And btw, why you are sending nom but getting name from the model? Make sure your mistake is not there as well..

yes idk why i use nom ^^ but that work correctly, but for this input with type= "date" that dont work : {{old('naissance' ) that work correctly but that ?? $chien-> naissance}} dont work only when the input is date

<input type="date" class="form-control @error('naissance') is-invalid @enderror" name="naissance" placeholder="naissance" value=" {{old('naissance' ) ?? $chien-> naissance}}" }}>

@heimdall then again why do you use ?? when you can pass it as a second parameter. I guess it does not work for your date because the format is not correct.. or you use JavaScript and it clears your input field.

Ye i change like you, old('naissance', $chien->naissance) but that dont work, if i edit my profil, this input dont recover the information on my database only because this type of input is "date"... Other input recover good information on my database

As I said @heimdall the format might not be the same, for example in your database if the format is Y-m-d and in your input field the format is d-m-Y for example, you will need to manually format your date per your date field, for example:

<input type="date" class="form-control @error('naissance') is-invalid @enderror" name="naissance" placeholder="naissance" value=" {{old('naissance', optional($chien->naissance)->format('d-m-Y') ) }}" }}>

Play around with it, as I don't have any of your data to tell you exactly what the problem is..

Yes i think is that the problem, my database is Y-m-d and my input is d-m-Y but i try to use your code but that change nothing ;/

@heimdall I cannot test not having your code. You should learn to debug. You can do it step by step. Make sure for example in the controller what does the this returns:

dd($chien->naissance);

Of course you should put this code after the $chien is being initialized. Is it empty what is it? Then try this:

dd($chien->naissance->format('d-m-Y'));

Make sure that it returns a string with the correct date format.

Do you use any JavaScript for your date field? Make sure that that does not clears your input field..

dd($chien->naissance); for that the response is 2019/10/14

and for that dd($chien->naissance->format('d-m-Y')); i have one error : Call to a member function format() on string

and no i dont use JS

@heimdall in your model Chien add this

protected $dates = ['naissance'];

this will make the naissance an instance of a Carbon so you can then use format on it.

ok ty so now the response is good :

"25-10-2019"

@heimdall if it works you should consider marking the answer as "Best Answer".

yes but dd($chien->naissance->format('d-m-Y')); is on Controller if i want update my database i needto change my code but my model for add data is:

$naissance = request("naissance"); $chien -> naissance = $naissance; $chien -> update();

but how add format('d-m-Y') ? if i use that : $chien -> naissance = $naissance -> format('d-m-Y') ; i have the next error :

Call to a member function format() on string

@heimdall for update you don't need to format the code but you need to create a Carbon object

$naissance = request("naissance"); 
$chien->naissance = Carbon\Carbon::parse($naissance); 
$chien->update();

namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Carbon\Carbon; use App\Chien;

i add Carbon\Carbon; but i have this error now :

Class 'Carbon\Carbon\Carbon' not found

omg.. if you already have an import of Carbon, then just use Carbon::parse(..

yes sorry, but this code : $chien->naissance = Carbon\Carbon::parse($naissance); dont choose my format for the date ?

dd( $chien-> naissance = Carbon::parse($naissance));

and the response is Carbon @1570060800 {#328 ▼ date: 2019-10-03 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00) }

@heimdall that's correct in order to store it. It should be like that.

ok.. so you dont know why the date after Carbon::parse is Y-m-d ? and not d-m-Y ?

@heimdall I know, that's because that's the default format, and that's the format that the Database wants. So when you need to display it, then you format into the wanted format.

and i cant change the default format on database ?

@heimdall you can search the documentation and google maybe?

ok ty for your time and sorry for my bad english, i m french student and i start to learn Laravel
