Seeding error: Object of class DateTime could not be converted to string

Question

I'm seeding my database with laravel but i get this error. To remove it i need to comment the mutator part of the model

public function setBirthdayAttribute($value)
    {   
        $this->attributes['birthday'] = Carbon::createFromFormat('d-m-Y',$value)->format('Y-m-d');
    }

    public function setFirstHireAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['first_hire'] = Carbon::createFromFormat('d-m-Y',$value)->format('Y-m-d');
    }

How can i fix it? I'm getting crazy

Thank you

Valerio

birthday or first_hire type is string in migration/db – Beller Feb 07 '21 at 13:31 — Beller, Feb 07 '21 at 13:31
No, its no. Its a date: `$table->date('first_hire');` – netnull Feb 07 '21 at 19:18 — netnull, Feb 07 '21 at 19:18

Try this.

public function setBirthdayAttribute($value)
    {   
        $this->attributes['birthday'] = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($value));
    }

    public function setFirstHireAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['first_hire'] = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($value));
    }

I get this error: **strtotime() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given** – netnull Feb 07 '21 at 19:16
What does $value contain? dd($value); – Beller Feb 08 '21 at 06:03
It's not Blade, it's Vue.js project based on Laravel backend – netnull Feb 08 '21 at 07:21
blade means your view code...from where you are sending date. – Rajen Trivedi Feb 08 '21 at 08:51
