How do I get the difference of time in human readable format with Laravel 5?
incase of the date is in a string format, use laravel Carbon; e.g,
{{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($on_revision->assignment->deadline)->diffForhumans() }}
Notice how I wrap my string in the carbon::parse()
By default, Eloquent converts created_at
and updated_at
columns to instances of Carbon. So if you are fetching the data using Eloquent, then you can do it as below.
$object->updated_at->diffForHumans();
If you want to customize the fields that will be mutated automatically, then within your model, you can customize them as you wish.
// Carbon instance fields
protected $dates = ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at'];
