I am trying to display the created_at attribute using Carbon's diffForHumans() in German in laravel 5.2.
created_at is stored in the database as: 2017-03-29 17:31:52
The model
protected $dates = ['created_at', 'updated_at'];
public static function getCreatedAtAttribute($value)
{
Carbon::setLocale('de');
return Carbon::parse($value, 'Europe/Berlin')->diffForHumans();
}
dd($value); returns "2017-03-29 17:31:52".
The view
@foreach($posts as $post)
<small>{{ $post->getCreatedAtAttribute($post->created_at) }}</small>
@endforeach
The error
DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (vor 3 Tagen) at position 0 (v): The timezone could not be found in the database
I would be very thankful for any kind of help!
For a German translation I used this customization in the AppServiceProvider:
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
// Localization Carbon
\Carbon\Carbon::setLocale(config('app.locale'));
}
}
With this setting the data is displayed: vor 3 Tagen instead of 3 days ago.
