How to compare two Carbon Timestamps?

Question

I have two timestamps, edited_at which I created and created_at (Laravel\'s)... In database, both have type timestamp and default value 0000-00-00 00:00:00... But

Answer 1

Carbon has a bunch of comparison functions with mnemonic names:

• equalTo()
• notEqualTo()
• greaterThan()
• greaterThanOrEqualTo()
• lessThan()
• lessThanOrEqualTo()

Usage:

 if($model->edited_at->greaterThan($model->created_at)){
     // edited at is newer than created at
 }

Valid for nesbot/carbon 1.36.2

if you are not sure what Carbon version you are on, run this

$composer show "nesbot/carbon"
