When a column is considered a date, you may set its value to a UNIX timestamp, date string (Y-m-d),
date-time string, and of course a DateTime / Carbon instance, and the date’s value will automatically
be correctly stored in your database:
.
1 $user = App\User::find(1);
2
3 $user->disabled_at = Carbon::now();
4
5 $user->save();
As noted above, when retrieving attributes that are listed in your $dates property, they will
automatically be cast to Carbon¹⁸⁷ instances, allowing you to use any of Carbon’s methods on your
attributes:
.
1 $user = App\User::find(1);
2
3 return $user->disabled_at->getTimestamp();
If you need to customize the format of your timestamps, set the $dateFormat property on your
model. This property determines how date attributes are stored in the database, as well as their
format when the model is serialized to an array or JSON:
