Quick Tip

No Need to Convert Carbon

If you're performing whereDate() and check today's records, you can use Carbon's now() or today() and it will automatically be transformed to date. No need to do ->toDateString().

// Instead of:
$todayUsers = User::whereDate('created_at', now()->toDateString())->get();
 
// No need to convert, just use now()
$todayUsers = User::whereDate('created_at', now())->get();
 
// Or, alternatively:
$todayUsers = User::whereDate('created_at', today())->get();
