Default date format should be ISO 8601

[ecordani]

Hi, I'm building an API gateway with Lumen 5.4 (btw, it works!) and the database is feeded by an iOS application with Couchbase Lite library. The datetime format used in Model.php ('Y-m-d H:i:s') mimics the format used by MySql and is not in the standard format used in CouchDB (for example "2018-05-04T11:40:52.280Z"). Is there a reason for this decision? Thanks!

Ok, I found a way to override the default format. I've added the following code snippet in my model definition:

protected function serializeDate(\DateTimeInterface $date) { return $date->format('c'); }

Unfortunately, this was a bad decision I had when I was building the application which I completely regret.

The default date format should be ISO 8601 so I am reopening and renaming this issue to fix it later.

You can define your personal date format on your model, though.

protected $dateFormat = 'l jS \of F Y h:i:s A';
