@matthallett Maybe you could try to define payment date accessor like
public function getPaymentDateAttribute()
instead of adding payment_date to $dates array? You could then return Carbon instance from there.

HasMany on a date field
I've tried to create a hasMany relationship based on a date field.
public function payments()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Payment', 'date', 'payment_date');
}
On it's own, it works. The problem comes when I add the date columns to their respective models' $dates attribute.
If the parent has the $dates attribute:
ErrorException in HasOneOrMany.php line 119: Illegal offset type in isset or empty
If the child has the $dates attribute, or both have it:
ErrorException in HasOneOrMany.php line 160: Illegal offset type
Done a bit of Googling and seen a couple of examples of other people running into this, but not sure of the solution. Well obviously I can just leave out the $dates, but I think it's better practice to use it (otherwise I'll just have to remember to the dates in Carbon::parse before formatting).
Please or to participate in this conversation.
