What happened?

I'm trying to create an edit page following the flow example, I've been getting on really well but come across a snag using datetime, it doesn't hydrate the data so the field shows empty. It updates just fine if I select a value. The create screen also works as expected.

In the edit blade file:

    #[Rule('required')]
    public string $start_datetime = '';
    ....

            <x-mary-datetime label="Start Date" wire:model="start_datetime"/>

In my model:

    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'name'           => 'string',
            'start_datetime' => 'datetime',
            'end_datetime'   => 'datetime',
        ];
    }

Is there a specific cast its expecting on this view?

Have you tried “date time:Y-m-d H:i” ?

Have you tried “date time:Y-m-d H:i” ?

I was just about to reply - looks like datetime:Y-m-d works as a cast, but I don't really want to modify the main cast if possible - is there another way to format it before passing it into the mary component? or should I just create a separate associated field and do the formatting there?

        $this->start_date = $this->season->start_datetime->format('Y-m-d');
        $this->end_date = $this->season->end_datetime->format('Y-m-d');
    }

    public function save(): void
    {
        $data = $this->validate();

        $this->season->update([
            'name'           => $data['name'],
            'start_datetime' => Carbon::parse($data['start_date'])->startOfDay(),
            'end_datetime'   => Carbon::parse($data['end_date'])->endOfDay(),
        ]);

Do you think this is a clean enough way to handle this?

It really depends of your use case, and it is out of the scope of this package. Glad it works for you ;)
