We will sortable and serching on created at datetime and carbon objects in laravel app. I am going to learn you datetime/carbon objects on searching and sorting using datatable in laravel application.

There is an example of using DateTime/Carbon object however this example shows date and time in Y/m/d format.In our case, our data field can have one value for display such as 06/25/2020 and another value 1483142400 that would be used for ordering.

Here I will give full example for datatables and sortable datetime/carbon objects in laravel app. So Let's Follow Bellow step by step.

Step 1 : Install Laravel App


In this step, You can install laravel fresh app. So open terminal and put the bellow command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2 : Setup Database Configuration

After successfully install laravel app thenafter configure databse setup. We will open ".env" file and change the database name, username and password in the env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name

DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username

DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password

Step 3 : Create Route

now, we need to add route in HomeController in laravel application. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php

Route::get('date-time', 'HomeController@getDateTime')->name('date.time.index');

Step 4 : Create Controler

Here this step now we have to create controller as HomeController.you can create method for get users and fetch record users table. So Let's copy bellow and put in the controller file.

app/http/controller/HomeController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Yajra\DataTables\DataTables;

use App\User;

class HomeController extends Controller

{

public function getDateTime(Request $request)

{

if ($request->ajax()) {

$data = User::select(['id','name','email','created_at']);

return Datatables::of($data)

->addIndexColumn()

->editColumn('created_at', function ($row) {

return [

'display' => e($row->created_at->format('d/m/Y')),

'timestamp' => $row->created_at->timestamp

];

})

->filterColumn('created_at', function ($query, $keyword) {

$query->whereRaw("DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%d/%m/%Y') LIKE ?", ["%$keyword%"]);

})

->make(true);

}

return view('date-time');

}

}

Step 5 : Create Blade File

In last step. In this step we have to create blade file. So mainly we have to create date-time view file for show datatbale data. So finally you have to create following file and put bellow code:

/resources/views/date-time.blade.php
