I have been using this method for loading database data into forms:
value="{{$offer->name}}"
This method works with all other input types but not with type="datetime-local"
The date and time have been stored in mysql with type datetime.
is their any methods to get the time and date back into the field (datetime-local) ?
Thank you
The docs at http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/input.datetime-local.html#input.datetime-local.attrs.value tell me you need to use the specified format: 1996-12-19T16:39:57
The following parts, in exactly the following order:
- A date.
- The literal string "T".
- A time.
So, you need to format the database format to the above format.
You can use str_replace on your controller and send the value to the view. Something like this:
$offer_name = str_replace(' ', 'T', $offer->name);
