Add you own fallback
{{ $user->profile->doh ? \Carbon\Carbon::parse($user->profile->doh)->format('m/d/Y H:i') : 'no date' }}

Handling Null Date Values in a form on Blade Template
I have a form field that is receives the following as its value:
{{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($user->profile->doh)->format('m/d/Y H:i') }}
The value is sometime NULL. When it is NULL, it outputs the current date and time.
What is the best way to handle these type of dates in Laravel 8?

Thanks.. I was thinking there was something I could do in the model. I will try t that way.

@phayes0289 there is. Accessors. Here is an example on the user model, but it might make more sense on the profile model
public function getFormatDohAttribute()
{
return $this->profile && $this->profile->doh ? \Carbon\Carbon::parse($this->profile->doh)->format('m/d/Y H:i') : 'no date';
}
//usage
$user->format_doh;
