Time format in laravel migration?

Question

I want to have an input, where you put a time in EU format like 12:00 or 21:34. (hh:mm) How do I do that?

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('title');
    $table->string('arena');
    $table->date("h,i"('beginn'));
    $table->timestamps();
});

This is what I have, but it's obviously wrong.

Answer 1

You can use $table->time('field_name');

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
   $table->increments('id');
   $table->string('title');
   $table->string('arena');
   $table->time("begin");
   $table->timestamps();
});

Answer 2

You could do this with Carbon, which is included in Laravel by default:

1. Set a variable with the current time $date = Carbon::now()
2. Set hour, for example 22 $date->hour = 22
3. Set minutes, for example 54 $date->minutes = 54
4. Finally, set $table->date($date)
