Cast Date Field
How do you add a date field with this package? You need to cast the filed as a date so not sure where to put it since there is no model?
Date::make('Delivery')
->format('dddd, MMM DD YYYY')
->pickerDisplayFormat('m-d-Y')
->rules('required'),
returns the error Date field must be casts as Date in eloquent model
Hey anyone reading this;
I fixed it by extending the DateTime field and casting it;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\DateTime as NovaDateTime;
class DateTime extends NovaDateTime
{
public function __construct($name, $attribute = null, $resolveCallback = null)
{
parent::__construct($name, $attribute, function ($value) {
if ($value && is_string($value)) {
try {
$possible_date = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $value);
if ($possible_date) {
$value = $possible_date;
}
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return null;
}
}
return $value;
});
}
}
I've tried extending the DateTime field as @GarethSomers did which removes the error but formats the data in a way that means it does not appear at all in the form or on the details page after saving. So instead I just overwrote the constructor method to remove the casting check:
<?php
namespace App\Nova\Fields;
class DateTime extends \Laravel\Nova\Fields\DateTime
{
/**
* Create a new field.
*
* @param string $name
* @param string|null $attribute
* @param mixed|null $resolveCallback
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($name, $attribute = null, callable $resolveCallback = null)
{
parent::__construct($name, $attribute, $resolveCallback ?? function ($value, $request) {
return $value;
});
}
}
Not entirely happy with this solution as I assume there's a good reason for the check but it's the best I can do for now. Would be great if someone knows how to resolve the underlying problem, because currently this package simply doesn't support DateTIme fields.
