Laravel - showing all posts using carbon - php

Question

So I used carbon in my project and now it shows me all posts made today, and that's okay for me. But now I need to see posts from past days, how can I do that with carbon? I would like something like href link for other past days in my view, home.blade.php
Here is my HomeController with carbon
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use App\Post;
use DB;
use Auth;
use Carbon\Carbon;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
*/
public function index()
{
$date = new Carbon(request('date'));
$posts = Post::where('user_id', Auth::id())
->whereDate('created_at','=',$date)
->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
->paginate(30); //add {{ $posts->links() }} if paginate is enabled
return view('home', compact('date', $date))->with('posts', $posts);
}
}
Here is my home.blade.php
#extends('layouts.theme')
#section('content')
<style>
body{
margin: 0;
background-color: #EBEBEB;
}
</style>
<div class="mainl">
<div class="row">
<div class="columna">
<h1>{{ Auth::user()->name }}</h1>
<hr>
</div>
<div class="columns">
<a href="{{ route('logout') }}" id="logout"
onclick="event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
{{ __('LOGOUT') }}
</a>
<form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout') }}" method="POST" style="display: none;">
#csrf
</form>
</div>
</div>
</br></br></br>
#if(count($posts)> 0)
<table>

Any solutions? I tried but with no success.

Answer 1

send 2 query parameters from and to and use whereBetween to show posts from given date range
your url will be like :
/posts?from=2019-07-15&to=2019-07-16
route in your web.php
Route::get('/posts','HomeController#index')->name('posts');
in your controller :
public function index(){
// set default value for from is yesterday (you can set as per your requirement)
// set default value for to is today
$from=$request->has('from')?$request->query('from'):Carbon::now()->subDays(1);
$to=$request->has('to')?$request->query('to'):Carbon::now()->endOfDay();
$posts = Post::where('user_id', Auth::id())
->whereBetween('created_at',[$from,$to]);
->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')
->paginate(30);
return view('home')->with(['from'=>$from,'to'=>$to,'posts'=>$posts]);
}
use daterangepicker from frontend side will be better .

Answer 2

Just make this line whereDate('created_at','=',$date)
Like this
whereDate('created_at','<=',$date)
