Installation

Install the package

composer require flobbos/laravel-datable

That's it. Nothing else to do at this point., _(*4)

Usage

Add it to the model

    namespace App;

    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
    use Flobbos\Datable;

    class Event extends Model {

        use Datable\Datable;

        protected $dates = [
            'starts_on',
            'ends_on'
        ];


    }

This is all you need to do to make it work. You won't notice a difference anywhere except when you're pulling formats like this:, _(*5)

    $your_model->starts_on->format('d. F Y');

The output will then have the localized month name instead of the default English., _(*6)
