Hello,
I probably do womething wrong, but what ?
protected $casts = [
'start_date' => 'date:Y-m-d',
'end_date' => 'date',
];
With this code, the date should display 2024-03-11, shouldn't it ?
{{ $model->start_date }}
But I get 2024-03-11 00:00:00 instead of 2024-03-11.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

From what I know, you can't format in the cast. You'll have to format it in your blade templating:
protected $casts = [
'start_date' => 'date',
'end_date' => 'date',
];
{{ $model->start_date->format('Y-m-d') }}
Edit: Just realized that yours does work for storage and retrieval purposes but you still have to format it properly
@Ssionn Yes but this is a problem to fill an input date (not datetime).
@vincent15000 What is it exactly that you're trying to achieve? I'm not understanding properly
Try to use datetime in your casts instead of date
'start_date' => 'datetime:Y-m-d',
@gych Ahh this makes sense now, haha
you may write your own accessor mutator,
use App\Support\Address;
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\Attribute;
protected function startDate(): Attribute
{
return Attribute::make(
get: fn (mixed $value, array $attributes) => Carbon::parse($value)->format('Y-m-d'),
);
}
@aknEvrnky You don't need to carbon parse something that is already a carbon instance.
Yes but this is a problem to fill an input date (not datetime).
Why?
<input type="date" value="{{ old('start_date', $model->start_date->format('Y-m-d')) }}" name="start_date" />
@Snapey Thank you ;) this seems to be the best approach for me, I use this code directly in the livewire form to initialize the property and it works fine.
