Change Format Of Created_at and Updated_at

Tip given by @syofyanzuhad

To change the format of created_at you can add a method in your model like this:

Since Laravel 9:

protected function createdAtFormatted(): Attribute
{
return Attribute::make(
get: fn ($value, $attributes) => $attributes['created_at']->format('H:i d, M Y'),
);
}

Laravel 8 and below:

public function getCreatedAtFormattedAttribute()
{
return $this->created_at->format('H:i d, M Y');
}

So you can use it $entry->created_at_formatted when it's needed. It will return the created_at attribute like this: 04:19 23, Aug 2020.

And also for changing format of updated_at attribute, you can add this method :

Since Laravel 9:

protected function updatedAtFormatted(): Attribute
{
return Attribute::make(
get: fn ($value, $attributes) => $attributes['updated_at']->format('H:i d, M Y'),
);
}

Laravel 8 and below:

public function getUpdatedAtFormattedAttribute()
{
return $this->updated_at->format('H:i d, M Y');
}

So you can use it $entry->updated_at_formatted when it's needed. It will return the updated_at attribute like this: 04:19 23, Aug 2020.
