I have a model Brand
with a migration and I want to change the default timestamps' names to brandCreatedAt
and brandUpdatedAt
I tried overriding the constants like below and migrating again but the table is still created with default timestamps name like created_at
and updated_at
const CREATED_AT = 'brandCreatedAt';
const UPDATED_AT = 'brandUpdatedAt';
Migration -
public function up()
{
Schema::create('brands', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('brandName')->nullable();
$table->string('brandIsActive')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Then I tried defining protected $table = 'brands';
but the issue remains. Then tried clearing cache with both artisan command and defining a route but no success. Maybe this is a small issue but I tried hours trying to find what's the issue but still I couldn't find it. TIA!
Following what @Tim Lewis said, you should have files like these:
class Brand extends Model
{
// ...
public const CREATED_AT = 'brandCreatedAt';
public const UPDATED_AT = 'brandUpdatedAt';
// ...
}
use App\Models\Brand;
public function up()
{
Schema::create('brands', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('brandName')->nullable();
$table->string('brandIsActive')->nullable();
$table->timestamp(Brand::CREATED_AT);
$table->timestamp(Brand::UPDATED_AT);
});
}
