Today with Carbon

@automica

I have two sections: one for the weekly calendar (Week controller) and one for today (Today controller). Here is a photo:

@piero on your day controller, get it to show all days. Post the controller method, and then I can show you show to get it to just display today.

BTW it will really help you if you watch the Laravel 8 from scratch series, here: https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-8-from-scratch

Take some time to read the documentation and that will make it easier for you to develop your application.

Today controller:

             <?php

                 namespace App\Http\Controllers;


                 use Carbon\Carbon;


              class TodayController extends Controller
                 {
                         public function show()
                             {
                              $currentDate = Carbon::now()->locale('it_IT')->timezone('Europe/Rome');
  

                                  return view('today.show',compact('currentDate'));
                              }

                         public function showToday()
                            {

                            }   
     }

if you want to get 'notes' for today, then the following should work:

public function show()
{
    $currentDate = Carbon::now()->locale('it_IT')->timezone('Europe/Rome');

    $day = Day::where('name', $currentDate->format('l'))->first();
    $notes = Note::where('day_id', $day->id)->get();
    
    return view('today.show', compact('currentDate','notes'));
}

@piero this is assuming you have a day with a name matching what's produced by $currentDate->format('l')

The above returns an array of `$notes'. if you only have one, change to

$notes = Note::where('day_id', $day->id)->first();

@michaloravec I know this could be reduced by doing a query where but I'm keeping it simple whilst we have the training wheels on..

I have an error:

Trying to get property 'id' of non-object on line

 $notes = Note::where('day_id', $day->id)->get();

so you arent getting a match on the day name.

what values do you have stored in your days table?

I have the following values:

so its just not matching case. use ucwords

    $day = Day::where('name', ucwords($currentDate->format('l')))->first();

ok, so what value do you get for:

$currentDate->format('l')

With the CurrentDate variable I get today's day to display on the screen as shown in the photo

I know what you do with it :P

what value do you get in your controller if you

dd($currentDate->format('l'))

With

        dd(...)

I have this

The following will return Venerdì

    $currentDate = Carbon::now()->locale('it_IT')->timezone('Europe/Rome');

    ucwords($currentDate->dayName);

I would like to compare the current day with the list of days and then extract the corresponding day.

yes

this is what we're doing here:

    $currentDate = Carbon::now()->locale('it_IT')->timezone('Europe/Rome'); // get currentDate

    $day = Day::where('name', $currentDate->dayName)->first(); // gets day record where day.name matches $currentDate->dayName
    $notes = Note::where('day_id', $day->id)->get(); // gets notes where notes.day_id matches $day->id.
    
    return view('today.show', compact('currentDate','notes'));

How do I also recover the other data? Type, day of collection and start and end time?

@piero you already know how to get this info from $notes. We've covered that in a previous thread.

if you only have one note for each day then you can just return this instead of an collection of 1 item.

$note = Note::where('day_id', $day->id)->first();

    return view('today.show', compact('currentDate','note'));

I want to recover the other data relating to today's day. How can I do?

I have the following page:

       @extends('layout')

       @section('title')
           Oggi
      @endsection

      @section('content')
       <div class="row">
         <div class="col-md-12"></div>
        <h4 class="display-2 fw-bold fst-italic text-info">
            Oggi, {{ $currentDate->isoFormat('llll')}}
        </h4>
     </div>
   </div>

   <div class="d-flex flex-row bd-highlight mb-3 mt-4">
     <div class="p-1 bd-highlight">
       <div class="card text-center text-dark " style="width:16rem; left:55rem; top:6rem">
        <div class="card-header">
          <h2>{{$day->name}}</h2>
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
        <h3 class="card-title">{{$notes->category->name}}</h3>
        <p class="card-text">Giorno di raccolta: {{$notes->collection->name}} </p>
        <p class="card-text">Ora Inizio: {{$notes->ora_inizio}}</p>
        <p class="card-text">Ora fine:  {{$notes->ora_fine}}</p>
      </div>
    </div>
   </div>
 
@endsection

as I said, you have already done this:

https://github.com/pierre1590/recycle/blob/main/resources/views/calendar/index.blade.php

you should be passing $note not $notes if you have a single note for each day.

$note = Note::where('day_id', $day->id)->first();

    return view('today.show', compact('currentDate','note'));

One last question, if I wanted to create a check to check if one day there is no collection, how should I implement it?

if you have a day with no collection, then you won't get a $note returned for it.

so add a condition:

@if($note)
       <h3 class="card-title">{{$notes->category->name}}</h3>
        <p class="card-text">Giorno di raccolta: {{$notes->collection->name}} </p>
        <p class="card-text">Ora Inizio: {{$notes->ora_inizio}}</p>
        <p class="card-text">Ora fine:  {{$notes->ora_fine}}</p>
@else
<p>No Collection</p>
@endif

I have the following page :

        @extends('layout')

        @section('title')
           Oggi
        @endsection

       @section('content')
           <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12"></div>
            <h4 class="display-2 fw-bold fst-italic text-info">
                Oggi, {{ $currentDate->isoFormat('llll')}}
            </h4>
         </div>
        </div>

      <div class="d-flex flex-row bd-highlight mb-3 mt-4">
          @foreach ($notes as $n )
       <div class="p-1 bd-highlight">
        <div class="card text-center text-dark " style="width:16rem; left:55rem; top:6rem">
      
        
      
           <div class="card-header">
               <h2>{{$n->day->name}}</h2>
            </div>
            <div class="card-body">
             @if ($note)
                  <h3 class="card-title">{{$n->category->name}}</h3>
                  <p class="card-text">Giorno di raccolta: {{$n->collection->name}} </p>
                   <p class="card-text">Ora Inizio: {{$n->ora_inizio}} </p>
                 <p class="card-text">Ora fine: {{$n->ora_fine}} </p>
             @else
                  <p>NULLA DA DIFFERENZIARE</p>
            @endif
           </div>
      
        </div>
      @endforeach
       </div>
 
      @endsection

But it doesn't function

hopefully you can spot why...

             @if ($note)
                  <h3 class="card-title">{{$n->category->name}}</h3>
                  <p class="card-text">Giorno di raccolta: {{$n->collection->name}} </p>
                   <p class="card-text">Ora Inizio: {{$n->ora_inizio}} </p>
                 <p class="card-text">Ora fine: {{$n->ora_fine}} </p>
             @else
                  <p>NULLA DA DIFFERENZIARE</p>
            @endif 

change $note for $n

I tried using $n but it still doesn't work.

what do you mean 'still doesn't work'?

can you tell me the error you are getting or show a screen grab?

I have cleared the entire calendar, but it still doesn't get the message that there is nothing to recycle.

I changed it this way, but it still doesn't display anything.

			 @if($n)
          <h3 class="card-title">{{$n->category->name}}</h3>
          <p class="card-text">Giorno di raccolta: {{$n->collection->name}} </p>
          <p class="card-text">Ora Inizio: {{$n->ora_inizio}} </p>
          <p class="card-text">Ora fine: {{$n->ora_fine}} </p>
         @else
          <div class="card text-center text-dark ">
              <div class="card-header">
                  <h2>{{$n->day->name}}</h2>
              </div>
              <div class="card-body">
                  <h2 class="card-title">NULLA DA DIFFERENZIARE</h2>
              </div>
           </div>
        @endif

view source on your browser check if it's there as it may be a styling error.

I used this other method, but no message is displayed.

			 @if($n)
                  <h3 class="card-title">{{$n->category->name}}</h3>
                  <p class="card-text">Giorno di raccolta: {{$n->collection->name}} </p>
                  <p class="card-text">Ora Inizio: {{$n->ora_inizio}} </p>
                  <p class="card-text">Ora fine: {{$n->ora_fine}} </p>
            @else
                 <div class="card">
                  <div class="card-body">
                 <h2 class="card-title">NULLA DA DIFFERENZIARE.</h2>
                 </div>
                 </div>
            @endif

have you viewed html in browser and inspected the code?

I tried to inspect the code in the browser but it's all regular.

Can you see NULLA DA DIFFERENZIARE if you view the page source?

@automica

No

I noticed that if I write inside the foreach loop it does not show me any messages, only the collection day.
