Directly convert created_at date to human readable format

You can directly convert created_at date to a human readable format like "1 minute ago" or "1 month ago" using diffForHumans() function. Laravel Eloquent by default enables Carbon instance on the created_at field.

$post = Post::find($id);
$result = $post->created_at->diffForHumans();
 
/* OUTPUT */
// 1 Minutes ago, 2 Week ago etc..as per created time
