Laravel 5：jenssegers / laravel-date没有显示正确的翻译。 如何正确使用Laravel Date？

Question

I have a simple L5 application, where I have to output some dates in a different language and therefore I am using jenssegers/laravel-date package

Yet, if I try to use jenssegers new package on my data stored in my database, I don't get the translation, see here:

index.blade.php

@extends('app')

@section('content')

use Jenssegers\Date\Date;
// This returns 'vor 0 Sekunden' in German, which I do want.
echo Date::now()->diffForHumans();

echo '<br/>';

// This returns '1 day ago'. It is in English, but I need it in German.
echo $orders->find(1)->created_at->diffForHumans();

@endsection

Would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

The reason for this to happen is that $orders->find(1)->created_at returns a Carbon instance, not a Date one.

One approach to leverage Date is by doing it:

echo Date::instance($orders->find(1)->created_at)->diffForHumans();

You can use an acessor to always return a Date object, like so:

at your Order model:

public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value)
{
    return Date::instance($value);
}
