Package deprecated
==================

[](#package-deprecated)

Version 1.0.2 is the final version of this package. If you are using Nova 4.2.4 or newer and want to keep using the `withDateFormat` helper or the custom filters introduced by this package, you should use the generic [wdelfuego/nova-datetime](https://github.com/wdelfuego/nova-datetime) package instead.

As of Nova 4.2.4, custom DateTime formatting is available [natively](https://github.com/laravel/nova-issues/discussions/3929#discussioncomment-2607539) in Nova.

---

This package reintroduces custom DateTime formatting to DateTime fields in Nova 4 resources and comes with a couple of custom filters to circumvent the issues described in [this discussion](https://github.com/laravel/nova-issues/discussions/3929).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the dependency to your project's `composer.json`:

```
composer require wdelfuego/nova4-formattable-date
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The examples below assume that the Eloquent model used for the Nova resource has an attribute named 'attribute'.

### Formatting

[](#formatting)

In your Nova resource's `fields` method, add a `DateTime` field as usual but add a call to `withDateFormat` to set the format you want to show on Index and Resource views:

```
    Fields\DateTime::make(__('Localized label'), 'attribute')
        ->withDateFormat('d-M-Y, H:i'),

```

This field will automatically be hidden from Nova's forms, so add another `DateTime` field without `withDateFormat` for the same attribute so your end users can edit the field on forms:

```
    Fields\DateTime::make(__('Localized label'), 'attribute')
        ->onlyOnForms(),

```

The Field with the custom date format can be made `sortable` as usual, but the `filterable` option doesn't work in combination with the custom date format, so if you want to allow end users to filter the Index view based on the formatted `DateTime` column, see the next section for adding the custom filters that come with this package.

### Filtering

[](#filtering)

This package comes with 5 different filters:

- `DateFilter` only shows items whose date match the filter value
- `DateFilterAfter` only shows items whose date is later than the filter value
- `DateFilterAfterOrOn` only shows items whose date is later than or on the same date as the filter value
- `DateFilterBefore` only shows items whose date is earlier than the filter value
- `DateFilterBeforeOrOn` only shows items whose date is earlier than or on the same date as the filter value

You can add a combination of these filters to the Nova resource to allow end users to define a date range.

For example:

```
    public function filters(NovaRequest $request)
    {
        return [
            new DateFilterAfter(__('After'), 'attribute'),
            new DateFilterBefore(__('Before'), 'attribute'),
        ];
    }

```

You can also filter for specific dates only (using a single `DateFilter`) or force open-ended range filtering by adding just one of the other four filters.

Don't forget to add the correct `use` statements for the filters you need to the resource file:

```
use Wdelfuego\Nova4\FormattableDate\Filters\DateFilter;
use Wdelfuego\Nova4\FormattableDate\Filters\DateFilterAfter;
use Wdelfuego\Nova4\FormattableDate\Filters\DateFilterAfterOrOn;
use Wdelfuego\Nova4\FormattableDate\Filters\DateFilterBefore;
use Wdelfuego\Nova4\FormattableDate\Filters\DateFilterBeforeOrOn;

```
