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();
