How to calculate the time difference in Laravel

Question

How to get the remaining time up to the date of consumption ..

{{$item->created_at->toDateString()->diffInDays($item->expired)}}
{{$item->created_at->toDateString() - $item->expired}}

Answer 1

You are trying to call a function on a string.

See:

$item Instance of \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model

$item->created_at Instance of \Carbon\Carbon

$item->created_at->toDateString() string

$item->created_at->toDateString()->diffInDays() FatalThrowableError Call to a member function diffInDays() on string

Try:

{{ $item->created_at->diffInDays($item->expired) }}

---

After comment: Your expired attribute is a string and not a date: Tell Eloquent to mutate it as a date:

class Item {
    protected $dates = ['expired'];
}

Answer 2

{{ $item->created_at->diffInDays($item->expired) }}
