HTML Date Format Change
### Using JavaScript to Format Input
You can use a regular text input field and implement a date picker that allows the desired format. Here’s how you can do it using a library like jQuery UI Datepicker or a custom solution:
#### Example with jQuery UI Datepicker
1. **Include jQuery and jQuery UI** (if not already included):
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>2. **HTML Input Field**:
<input type="text" id="date" placeholder="dd.mm.yyyy">3. **JavaScript to Initialize Datepicker**:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#date').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
onSelect: function(dateText) {
// Optionally, you can handle the formatted date here
console.log('Selected date: ' + dateText);
}
});
});### Server-Side Handling
If you're using a back-end language, you can format the date string after it is submitted. For example, if you're using PHP, you can convert it to a standard format before processing:
$dateString = $_POST['date']; // This would be in 'd.m.Y' format
$dateObject = DateTime::createFromFormat('d.m.Y', $dateString);
$formattedDate = $dateObject->format('Y-m-d'); // Converts to 'Y-m-d' format for storage### Summary
– Use a text input with a date picker library for formatting as `d.m.Y`.
– Handle date conversion on the server side when processing the form submission.
This way, you can achieve the desired date format for user input.
### HTML Input Field
<input type="date" id="date" min="">### JavaScript to Set Minimum Date
You can use JavaScript to get today's date and set it as the minimum value for the date input:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const today = new Date();
const dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
const mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'); // January is 0!
const yyyy = today.getFullYear();
// Format date as YYYY-MM-DD for the input value
const formattedDate = `${yyyy}-${mm}-${dd}`;
// Set the min attribute to today's date
document.getElementById('date').setAttribute('min', formattedDate);
});### Explanation
1. **Input Field**: The “ element is defined with an empty `min` attribute.
2. **JavaScript**:
– The script listens for the DOM content to be fully loaded.
– It creates a new `Date` object to get the current date.
– The date is formatted to `YYYY-MM-DD`, which is required for the `min` attribute.
– Finally, it sets the `min` attribute of the input field to the formatted date.
### Complete Example
Here’s a complete HTML example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Date Input Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="date" id="date" min="">
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const today = new Date();
const dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
const mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'); // January is 0!
const yyyy = today.getFullYear();
// Format date as YYYY-MM-DD for the input value
const formattedDate = `${yyyy}-${mm}-${dd}`;
// Set the min attribute to today's date
document.getElementById('date').setAttribute('min', formattedDate);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>With this setup, users will only be able to select today’s date or any date in the future in the date input field.
### HTML Setup
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Datepicker Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="date" placeholder="dd.mm.yyyy">
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// Initialize datepicker with minDate set to today
$('#date').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
minDate: 0 // 0 means today; you can change this to 1 for tomorrow
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>### Explanation
1. **HTML Input Field**: An input field of type text is created for the datepicker.
2. **jQuery and jQuery UI**: The required jQuery and jQuery UI libraries are included.
3. **JavaScript**:
– When the document is ready, the datepicker is initialized on the input field with:
– `dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy'` to set the desired date format.
– `minDate: 0` to restrict the selection to today and future dates. Setting it to `0` means today's date is selectable. If you want to exclude today and allow only future dates, you can set it to `1`.
### Complete Example
This example will display a datepicker that only allows the selection of today and future dates:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Datepicker Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="date" placeholder="dd.mm.yyyy">
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#date').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
minDate: 0 // Today is the minimum date selectable
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>With this setup, users will only be able to select today’s date or any future date using the jQuery UI Datepicker.
### 1. HTML and JavaScript Setup
You’ll set up the datepicker as before, allowing users to select the date in `dd.mm.yyyy` format:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Datepicker Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="dateForm" action="/save-date" method="POST">
@csrf
<input type="text" id="date" name="date" placeholder="dd.mm.yyyy">
<button type="submit">Save Date</button>
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#date').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
minDate: 0 // Today is the minimum date selectable
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>### 2. Form Submission and Date Conversion in Laravel
When the form is submitted, you can convert the date from `dd.mm.yyyy` to `YYYY-MM-DD` format before saving it to the database. Here’s how you can do that in your controller:
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use CarbonCarbon;
public function saveDate(Request $request)
{
// Validate the incoming request
$request->validate([
'date' => 'required|date_format:d.m.Y', // Validate the date format
]);
// Convert the date from dd.mm.yyyy to YYYY-MM-DD
$date = Carbon::createFromFormat('d.m.Y', $request->date)->format('Y-m-d');
// Save the date to the database
// Assuming you have a model named YourModel and a date field
YourModel::create(['date_field' => $date]);
return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Date saved successfully!');
}### Explanation
1. **HTML Form**:
– The form is set up to send a POST request to the `/save-date` route.
– The CSRF token is included for security.
2. **JavaScript**:
– The jQuery UI Datepicker allows users to select a date in `dd.mm.yyyy` format.
3. **Laravel Controller**:
– The incoming request is validated to ensure the date is in the correct `dd.mm.yyyy` format.
– The date string is then converted to a `Carbon` instance using `createFromFormat`, which allows you to specify the input format. It is then formatted to `Y-m-d` for saving to the database.
– The date is saved using the model, assuming you have a `date_field` in your database.
### 3. Routes
Make sure to set up the corresponding route in your `web.php` file:
use AppHttpControllersYourController;
Route::post('/save-date', [YourController::class, 'saveDate']);### Summary
This setup allows users to select dates in `dd.mm.yyyy` format while saving them in `YYYY-MM-DD` format in your Laravel application. The conversion is handled in the controller before the data is stored in the database.
Here’s how you can do it:
### 1. Save the Date in Controller
Assuming you've already set up the saving part correctly as discussed, let's make sure you retrieve and pass the date to the view.
### 2. Retrieve and Format the Date
In your controller, when you retrieve the date from the database, you can format it before passing it to the Blade view:
use AppModelsYourModel;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use CarbonCarbon;
public function showDate()
{
// Retrieve the saved date
$record = YourModel::first(); // Or use whatever method you need to get the specific record
// Format the date to dd.mm.yyyy for display
if ($record) {
$formattedDate = Carbon::parse($record->date_field)->format('d.m.Y');
} else {
$formattedDate = null; // Handle the case when there is no record
}
return view('your_view', compact('formattedDate'));
}### 3. Blade View to Display the Date
In your Blade view, you can display the formatted date as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Date Display Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Date Display</h1>
@if($formattedDate)
<p>Saved Date: {{ $formattedDate }}</p>
@else
<p>No date saved yet.</p>
@endif
<!-- Form for saving a new date -->
<form id="dateForm" action="/save-date" method="POST">
@csrf
<input type="text" id="date" name="date" placeholder="dd.mm.yyyy" value="{{ $formattedDate }}">
<button type="submit">Save Date</button>
</form>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#date').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
minDate: 0 // Today is the minimum date selectable
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>### Explanation
1. **Controller**:
– The `showDate` method retrieves the saved record from the database and formats the date using `Carbon::parse()->format('d.m.Y')`.
– The formatted date is then passed to the view using the `compact` function.
2. **Blade View**:
– The formatted date is displayed in a paragraph. If no date has been saved, a message indicates that.
– The input field for saving the date pre-fills with the formatted date, allowing the user to see and modify it if needed.
### Summary
With this setup, you can display the saved date in the `dd.mm.yyyy` format in your Blade view while still saving it in the `YYYY-MM-DD` format in the database. The conversion for display is handled using Laravel's `Carbon` library, and you pre-fill the input field with the formatted date for user convenience.

### 1. Retrieve the Coupon and Format the Date
Assuming your `Coupon` model has a date field (e.g., `expiry_date`), you can format the date after fetching the coupon:
use AppModelsCoupon;
use CarbonCarbon;
public function showCoupon($id)
{
// Retrieve the coupon using findOrFail
$coupon = Coupon::findOrFail($id);
// Format the date to d.m.Y
$coupon->formatted_expiry_date = Carbon::parse($coupon->expiry_date)->format('d.m.Y');
return view('your_view', compact('coupon'));
}### 2. Accessing the Formatted Date in Blade
In your Blade view, you can access the newly created `formatted_expiry_date` property to display the date in the desired format:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Coupon Details</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Coupon Details</h1>
<p>Coupon Code: {{ $coupon->code }}</p>
<p>Expiry Date: {{ $coupon->formatted_expiry_date }}</p>
</body>
</html>### Explanation
1. **Controller**:
– The `showCoupon` method retrieves the `Coupon` model instance using `findOrFail($id)`.
– The `expiry_date` is formatted to `d.m.Y` using `Carbon::parse()->format()`, and the result is stored in a new attribute called `formatted_expiry_date`.
2. **Blade View**:
– You can now easily display the formatted expiry date using `{{ $coupon->formatted_expiry_date }}`.
### Summary
This approach allows you to format the date when you retrieve the `Coupon` model and make it available for display in your Blade view. You can use this pattern to format any date attributes in your models as needed.
