date format and mail queueing
Hello I have some glitches with date formating in latest laravel version. I used laravel migration timestamps() for table, date works fine until i try to add ->format() to created_at column, whenever i try it just respond with this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on string, I have no clue why it doesn't work, on updated_at column it works fine, but on created_at it don't.
And second mail queueing, I tried events and jobs for it, but it always works as just plain sending making my request longer, I just wan't to make that whenever someone registers then mail is being sent after he did register request. Not when he pressed registration button.
In job file handle code:
public function handle(Mailer $mailer)
{
$user = $this->user;
$mailer->queue('emails.user-confirmation', ['user' => $user], function($mail) use ($user) {
$mail->to($user->email);
$mail->subject('Account confirmation');
});
}

@Mariam But it doesn't for me and its only for this one table, for other tables everything works fine. I wouldn't ask for help if updated_at column would show same error as created_at.

That's weird. What if you place this on the User model.
protected $dates = ['created_at','updated_at'];
For mail queueing, try this. Ensure that your Queue Driver is database and you have a cron jon to run queue:listen Artisan command.
$mailer->later(5, 'emails.user-confirmation', ['user' => $user], function($mail) use ($user) {
$mail->to($user->email);
$mail->subject('Account confirmation');
});

@fastforward is $user->created_at a Carbon instance? I think you did some changes there.

Seems like migration with removing and adding those columns back again fixed this problem, no clue why it wasn't working at first, but now its working. Thanks for help.
