Use Carbon (http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent-mutators) once the date is setup as an instance of Carbon you can do simple things such as:
$user->dob->format('d-m-Y')

Set date format
Hi, I have defined a migration in which I have a date field i.e, dob. How to set the date format for it?
Example: public function up() { Schema::create('contacts', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->increments('contactid'); $table->string('name', 75)->nullable(); $table->string('email', 100)->nullable(); $table->timestamp('dob')->nullable(); $table->timestamps(); }); }
Thanks Santosh

Thanks, that is fine. But I was thinking of directly setting the date format in migration.
Level 5
$table->date('created_at');
Try to check out the docs when you have a similar question: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/migrations#creating-columns

You can add $table->timestamp("whatIsTime"); in migration file and add this code to your model
protected $casts = [ 'whatIsTime' => 'date:hh:mm' ];
Level 75
$table->timestamp('dob') Don't use timestamp for DOB.
Edit: You got me, old post.
