Laravel nova diffForHumans DateTime

Question

I have field last_active on users, I want display time with diffForHumans or time_from_now from Moment.js. How I can do it? Now I just use:

DateTime::make('Activiy', 'last_active')
            ->exceptOnForms(),

When I use:

DateTime::make('Activiy', 'last_active')->diffForHumans()
            ->exceptOnForms(),

I get undifined method diffForHumans.

Answer 1

To my knowledge at the moment DateTime only supports format.

Since you want only to display, you can try Text field & display the humanise value. If your column might be null be sure to check for that otherwise you will get an error.

Text::make('Activiy', 'last_active')
    ->displayUsing(function($lastActive) {
        if ($lastActive === null) {
            return null;
        }
        return $lastActive->diffForHumans();
    })
    ->exceptOnForms(),
