To ensure that the date is always received in the format "yyyy-mm-dd", you can use JavaScript to format the date before submitting the form. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
<form id="myForm" action="/submit" method="POST">
<input type="text" id="dob" name="dob">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('myForm').addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // Prevent the form from submitting
// Get the date input value
var dobInput = document.getElementById('dob');
var dobValue = dobInput.value;
// Split the date into day, month, and year
var parts = dobValue.split('/');
var day = parts[0];
var month = parts[1];
var year = parts[2];
// Format the date as yyyy-mm-dd
var formattedDate = year + '-' + month + '-' + day;
// Set the formatted date as the input value
dobInput.value = formattedDate;
// Submit the form
this.submit();
});
</script>
This JavaScript code listens for the form's submit event. When the event is triggered, it prevents the form from submitting, formats the date input value, sets the formatted date as the input value, and then submits the form programmatically.
Make sure to replace the action attribute of the form with the appropriate URL for your Laravel backend.
