Set a default date format for carbon in Laravel
Hi all,
The title pretty much sums up the question: how to define a default date format that carbon uses in Laravel?
Default is now Y-m-d, but I'd like to have it in euro style: d-m-Y and it would be nice if I wouldn't have to force that at each carbon instance.
Thanks!

Thanks! Didn't look good enough.

If you are dealing with carbon data from Eloquent you could also use a Mutator for a specific date like
publich function getWhateverDateAttribute() {
return // your format
}

Thanks for the addition. I had considered it and that's also what the other thread suggests (in a slightly more abstract manner) but it would've been way nicer if Carbon supported some sort of config file where you could set this stuff. It just doesn't appear to have any such thing :p

You could consider the localization options of Carbon
