can you eager load it? $model->date_of_birth then format it after that.

edit date in form
Hi, Me again!
I'm building an edit form and the date of Birth shows the default (d-m-y), doesn't fetch from the database. Whats the best way to add this in?
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('date_of_birth', 'Date of Birth:') !!}
{!! Form::date('date_of_birth', date('D-m-y'), ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>

date('D-m-y') will give you the current date in the format Fri-09-16; as @jbowman99 says you need to use the Model object's date_of_birth property as the second argument to the Form::date() method. This assumes that you have the model available to the view?

I can get it out like this & it updates fine. But i'm using the same form to also create a record also and then it breaks.
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('date_of_birth', 'Date of Birth:') !!}
{!! Form::date('date_of_birth', date($client->date_of_birth), ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>

Pass an empty Client object to the create view

Under String Formatting
$dt->toFormattedDateString();

Based on this resource by mdn. the date input type format is YYYY-MM-DD https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date
<input type="date" value="value="{{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($team->portfolio_at)->format('Y-m-d') }}"
