Date stores as null in mysql

@SilenceBringer It is in fillable props.

@yhassoun can yu show some code please, especially: what $this->date contains?

@SilenceBringer Livewire component:

class JobAdd extends Component {
    public close_date; //other non related vars
	
	public function submit(){
        $formated_deadline = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->close_date));
        $jobPost = ([
            'close_date'  => $formated_deadline, 
           //Other non related fields 
]);
           Job::create($jobPost);
		}
}

Blade file:

<input class="tailwind classes" type="date" wire:model="close_date">
  <button class="tailwind classes" wire:click="submit()">
     Submit
   </button>           

Model Job:

protected $fillable = [
       'number', 'close_date', //some other fields
    ];

I am using mysql with laragon. all the fields are written properly but this one goes as null. I tried both 'datetime' field time in DB and 'timestamp', same result NULL

@yhassoun In your code I do not see storing

you can add cast https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent-mutators#date-casting to your date field with correct format.

also - dump the date to see what you have

        $formated_deadline = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->close_date));
		dd($formated_deadline);

and check it has correct value

@SilenceBringer Storing happens here: Job::create($jobPost); Storing is fine and once I dd I get the right format for example: 2021-11-22 it is only on DB that it reflects as null. I am still learning Laravel, the documentation can be a little challenging for me. Thanks for the link though, I will go through it
