How to format date in the Views

There are multiple ways

Option one: in your view

$user->created_at->diffForHumans();

Option two: accessor

// User.php

public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value)
{
    return $value->diffForHumans();
}

Note: Make sure that you add the date field to the $dates array in your model!
