Remove time from activation date

In my subscription model I have a date called activated_at. When I display this date it shows like 2019-09-24 00:00:00. I only want to display the date without calling "format" everywhere. How can I do that?

My model

protected $dates = ['activated_at', 'created_at', 'updated_at'];

You can create an accessor for this field. This way you can do the format part just once and all the other dates stay the same.

//Model

public function getActivatedAtAttribute($value)
{
    return $value->format('Y-m-d');
}

Note: You will now get a string back instead of the Carbon object, so keep that in mind
