Laravel - showing only posts that are created today using carbon - php

Question

I need to show only posts that are created that same day for specific user, user ID. I'm using Laravel Carbon for that but nothing happens, I don't know where the problem is. Here is my code
Here is my OptikaController with two users and Carbon:
class OptikaController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth:admin');
$this->middleware('role:super', ['only'=>'show']);
}
public function delta(){
$date = new Carbon(request('date'));
$posts = Post::where('user_id', Auth::id(1))
->whereDate('created_at','=',$date)
->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
->paginate(30); //add {{ $posts->links() }} if paginate is enabled
$user_id = auth()->user()->id;
$user = User::find(1);
return view('delta', compact('date', $date))->with('posts', $user->posts);
}
public function centar(){
$user_id = auth()->user()->id;
$user = User::find(2);
return view('centar')->with('posts', $user->posts);
}
}
So I add Post::where('user_id', Auth::id(1)) and $user = User::find(1); to see all posts made today by that user id 1 but nothing happens.It's showing me all posts ever created and I need posts only created today or that day they are created. Any suggestions?

Your code seems to be working just fine. However, you should return $posts not $user->posts, your return line should look like this.
return view('delta', compact('date', $date))->with('posts', $posts);
Also, you could safely remove these lines unless you'll need to pass the user to your views.
$user_id = auth()->user()->id;
$user = User::find(1);
So your code should look something like this:
$date = Carbon::parse(request('date'));
$posts = Post::where('user_id', User::find(1)->id)
->whereDate('created_at', '=', $date)
->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
->paginate(30);
return view('delta')->with('date', $date)->with('posts', $posts);
