Display date from database in datepicker inside component

#1

Hi All

I’m having some trouble getting the date from the database in the datepicker in my component using the edit method. Currently its just showing the standard ‘dd/mm/yyyy’ but not the value from the database. I’ve tried formatting the date as a protected date in the model, ive also tried using carbon to format the date multiple different ways such as Mozilla Date Picker but still no joy.

In my component i have: <input wire:model="purchased_at" type="date"...
and in the controller in the edit method i have the following with the last attempted formating of the date:-

$this->purchased_at = Carbon::parse($record->purchased_at)->format('yyyy-mm-dd');

Please could someone advise how best to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Try ->format('Y-m-d')

Remember the date format is according to php formatting, not Javascript
