Laravel, filter timestamp by date only

Question

I want to filter a table by user ID and the created_at field. The only thing is created_at is a timestamp, and I want to query by date only not time.

So something like -

$messages = Message::where(['from' => $fromUser->id, 'created_at' => 'TODAY'S DATE'])->get();

Answer 1

$query->whereDate('created_at', '=', date('Y-m-d'));

or

$query->whereDate('created_at', '=', Carbon::today()->toDateString());
