laravel - how to convert date of birth to age and then store it

Question

let say I have database table with column of date of birth named dob

then, I want to get all the data using :

$data = MY_Model::all();

How to convert my $data->dob to age (years, month, day) and then store it in $data so I can access it using $data->age ?

Answer 1

Create this method on your model:

public function getAgeAttribute()
{
    return Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $this->dob)->diffInYears(Carbon::now());
}

Now you can call it from the model data directly as $data->age
