How can I display a formatted date in Laravel Blade?

[rrsilvabr]

I'm saving dates in the database in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, but I want to display them in Blade as d/m/Y. What's the correct way to do this in Laravel?

Hello @rrsilvabr 👋😄

You can use Carbon, which comes integrated with Laravel to handle dates. In your Blade file, you can do this:

{{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($user->created_at)->format('d/m/Y') }}

Or, if you already have a date object (Eloquent automatically returns created_at as a Carbon instance), you can simply do:

{{ $user->created_at->format('d/m/Y') }}

This way, Laravel uses Carbon under the hood to format the date.

I hope it helps 🙏
