Quick Tip

Change Default Timestamp Fields

What if you’re working with a non-Laravel database and your timestamp columns are named differently than default created_at and updated_at? Maybe, you have create_time and update_time. Luckily, you can specify them in the Model, too:

class Role extends Model
{
const CREATED_AT = 'create_time';
const UPDATED_AT = 'update_time';
}
