How to fix Carbon timezone after upgrading to Laravel 5.8

Question

After upgrading to Laravel 5.8 the "created_at" field is returning a string like this

"createdAt": "2019-05-01T16:36:25.000000Z"

But I want to return an object like before in Laravel 5.7 like this:

"createdAt": { "date": "2019-05-01 19:36:25.000000", "timezone_type": 3, "timezone": "Asia/Baghdad" }

I did look around the web found nothing about it and there's nothing about it too in upgrade guide too. I'm returning it from resources just like that a JSON:

public function toArray($request)
{
    return [
        'id' => $this->id,
        'createdAt' => $this->created_at,
    ];
}

Answer 1

That's how I could solve it:

public function toArray($request)
{
    return [
        'id' => $this->id,
        'createdAt' => $this->created_at,
        'date' => Carbon::serializeUsing(function ($createdAt) {
          return [
              'date' => $createdAt->toDateTimeString(),
              'timezone_type' => $createdAt->timezone_type,
              'timezone' => $createdAt->tzName,
          ];
        }),
   ];
}

Now it returns an object like this:

"createdAt": {
     "date": "2019-05-01 19:36:25",
     "timezone_type": 3,
     "timezone": "Asia/Baghdad"
},
"date": null

The breaking change is documented in the official Carbon documentation .

尝试返回日期的碳实例：

Carbon::parse($this->created_at)
