This only works if you use the correct Carbon namespace
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
Also note that this only happens for content that is being parsed to JSON. Not for arrays and other kind of objects.

Date Serialization
Hello,
I want to have all dates returned from my requests to have a specific format. I followed the documentation at https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/eloquent-serialization#date-serialization
So, in my AppServiceProvider inside the method boot() I have:
Carbon::serializeUsing(function ($carbon) {
return $carbon->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.uP T');
});
But all the dates are still returning in the format Y-m-d i:s:u
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

@BOBBYBOUWMANN - I'm using the correct Carbon class and calling model()->toJson(). No luck...
I don't know if this matter, I'm using SQLite and this serialization should apply to created_at, updated_at, etc. ($table->timestamps and $table->softDeletes).
Thank you.

Mmh, SQLite shouldn't make a difference as far as I know. Are you on the latest Laravel version?

@BOBBYBOUWMANN - Yes, everything last version.
If I force the cast direct in the model, everything works, is just the "global" method that is not working for some reason.
Thank you for your help.

@neeonline Mmh, if you add any casts in your model it will override the global setup so that is a good thing to check!
