Date from Form datepicker

Pass along with post data like any other form field. May need to format a certain way.

Kind of like https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xmLNrdmez1IIwfKuWLLR4JEYQbXfr9bO/view?usp=sharing

Notice I set date picker to default MySql date format, easier that way. And just done quickly for an example.

@jlrdw thanks for the reply, yes but how can we do it in controller?meaning passing the value from Datepicker form to my controller and then output it to the other page? in laravel?

Here is the approach: (view.blade.php -> web.php -> controller)

Html (viewName.blade.php)

<div class="field-body">
    <div class="field">
        <p class="control">
            <input class="datepicker" type="text" placeholder="Select date" name="dateFrom" >
       </p>
    </div>
</div>

The name="inputName" property allows laravel to know what type of input field you want when using request.

Web.php

    Route::post('/view', 'controllerName@method'); 

controllerName.php

    public function getDate(Request $request){
    
        $date = $request->input('dateFrom');
        dd($date); 

    }

Keep in mind, if you want to pass input fields to controller, you must have the them wrapped inside a form, like this.

<form method="POST" action="/view">

    <!-- Declare input fields -->

</form>

@dleroari thank you for making me understand that highly appreciated can I use that $date variable inside the ->where() ?

example:

$date = $request->input('dateFrom'); dd($date);

$variable = DB::table('table_name') ->Where(['time_stamp','<=',$date]) ->get();

What i wanted to do there is arrange/sort and get data based on the $date variable
