Laravel约会表单模型绑定

Question

I'm using Laravel 5.1

I got a model:

class ExampleModel extends Model {

    // ....
    protected $dateFormat = 'Y.m.d';
    protected $dates = ['first_date', 'second_date'];

    // ...
}

So when I'm indexing ExampleModel elements, the date format is correct (ex 2015.07.31)

But on an edit form it uses the default format: 2015-07-31 00:00:00

I'm using Form::model() binding.

I know I could use getFirstDateAttribute() but it's not the solution I'm looking for. Because it's not elegant at all and once I defined the $dates array, it should work automatically in every case.

So is it a bug maybe? Or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I've never done this before, but it seems to work on a basic example I put together. Note that I'm just calling the toArray method on the model in the form opening tag.

{!! Form::model($exampleModel->toArray(), ['route' => ['example-models.update', $exampleModel->id]]) !!}
    {!! Form::label('first_date', 'First Date') !!}
    {!! Form::text('first_date') !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}

The docs say that the dateFormat property determines the date format when the object is cast to json or an array.
