change format of date input field in laravel

Question

I have a date input field in laravel. I want the date format to be "D/M/Y". This gets the today's date but i want to be in correct format and when selecting a date.

{{Form::date('name', \Carbon\Carbon::now(), array('class' => 'form-control', 'required' => '')) }}

Do you know that Input type date is supported only in chrome opera and safari? — Buglinjo, Jan 12 '17 at 22:04
Actually there is no out of the box solution for formatting date type. You can try to do it with JS to format that field on change. — Buglinjo, Jan 12 '17 at 22:06

If you want to display this format by default, use format() method:

{!! Form::date('name', \Carbon\Carbon::now()->format('D/M/Y'), ['class' => 'form-control', 'required' => true]) !!}

If you want to format user input you need to use JS library like jQuery Datepicker for that. It has such an option.

@steven it's not possible. It seems page is cached by Laravel or web browser. Clear browser cache and Laravel views cache with `php artisan view:clear` command. – Alexey Mezenin Jan 12 '17 at 22:03
Comes up on the input field - mm/dd/yy. – steven Jan 12 '17 at 22:04
@steven I've just tested it and it shows `Thu/Jan/2017` as expected. Are you trying to make this format as default for user input? So if a user is trying to enter a date, he can only enter `D/M/Y`? Or you just want to display `D/M/Y` date on page load? – Alexey Mezenin Jan 12 '17 at 22:05
Yes I am trying to do that. – steven Jan 12 '17 at 22:08
on page load and when selecting. – steven Jan 12 '17 at 22:08
As page load it says mm/dd/yy – steven Jan 12 '17 at 22:09
So there is no way with laravel then. – steven Jan 12 '17 at 22:11
@steven you can use Laravel to display a date on page load like I described in my answer. If you need to force a user to use custom date format, you need to use JS for that. – Alexey Mezenin Jan 12 '17 at 22:12
browsers tend to use the systems time format, that can cause the difference in behaviour! – online Thomas Jan 12 '17 at 22:15
I have did what you have told me and it is not working for the first part. – steven Jan 12 '17 at 22:15
@steven it works, I've even tested it, works perfectly. The problem is somewhere on your side. – Alexey Mezenin Jan 12 '17 at 22:23
@AlexeyMezenin: I think parse() is working with this? Piece from this [example](https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/how-to-format-a-carbon-date-inside-blade?page=1) – AddWeb Solution Pvt Ltd Jan 13 '17 at 06:28

Try the below tested code, should work for you:

{{Form::text('name', Carbon\Carbon::parse('now')->format('D/M/Y'), array('class' => 'form-control', 'required' => '')) }}
