Any help with this?

First of all, you are passing data to a view incorrectly. See docs on views.

The data gets passed through just fine...

I've had to do it like this:

Due {{ \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $due_date)->diffForHumans() }}

Apparently, Eloquent does not want to make my dates Carbon objects. Why? I still do not know.

You need to declare due_date in array of $dates in the Eloquent model.
Take a look at Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

/**
* The attributes that should be mutated to dates.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $dates = array();

Still no luck. I have to be doing something wrong.

can you please show your route to the show method?

you can try passing id instead of object

public function show($id){
   $work = Work::find($id);
   return view('viewname' , compact($work));
}

then on your view you can use

$work->due_date->diffForhumans() instead of $due_date->diffforhumans

I now do that since there are multiple works, but it still does not work.

@vinylrain, cemleme's code does work for single Work object. Could you show how you are getting multiple works, and how you are passing them to the view?

The date-to-Carbon conversion works through accessor functions of eloquent models, so in your view, when you write $work->due_date->diffForHumans() the $work object has to be of Work class.

Double-check that you haven't already created a specific accessor for the field in question. If there is a getDueDateAttribute() method that you forgot you created (like I did), Eloquent will ignore the fact that it's in your $dates array.

if you have a collection or Work classes then the above won't work

check its a object not a collection of objects or a array of attributes.

I got same problem and was looking forward for the answer, but at the end I found it for mine

just make sure the $due_date is not null when you are trying to call the $due_date->diffForHumans()

hope it solved the problem
