Use carbon on Views laravel

I want to use the Carbon on Views I'm including it on the top of the views file but it doesnt work, I'm doing it like this.

 <?php use carbon/carbon;?>
 @extends('main_layout')

      @foreach ($myquery as $mytask) 
                <tr>

                <td >
                 {{($mytask->firstname)}}
                </td>

                 <td >
                        {{($mytask->lastname)}}
                </td>
                    <td>
               {{($mytask->logon)}}
                    </td>

 @section('content')
 @stop

I just get errors. I want to convert the {{($mytask->logon)}} to human readable format using carbon

EDIT 2021-10-29

It appears that Laravel now encourages the use of date casts for this question:

/**
 * The attributes that should be cast.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $casts = [
    'created_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-d',
];

Original Answer

I would add sommething quoting Laravel Documentation for googlers to add how you can transform your SQL datetime fields into Carbon objects:

In your Model:

protected $dates = ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'disabled_at','mydate'];

All the fields present on this array will be automatically accessible in your views with Carbon functions like:

{{ $article->mydate->diffForHumans() }}

Just Copy Paste it into your Model

public function getCreatedAtAttribute($value)
{
    $date = new Carbon($value);
    return $date->toDayDateTimeString();
}

And called ->created_at like you normally called in your view.

Don't forget to use the Carbon Class Model

Blade Use:

{{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($mytask->logon)->diffForHumans() }}

Output: For a task that is one day ago from now

1 day ago

You need not add a use statement for carbon in the view. Just make sure that $mytask->logon is indeed a carbon object and use the format() method to turn it into a string

{{ $mytask->logon->format('Y/m/d') }}

Edit:

If $mytask->logon is a carbon object use: 

 {{ $mytask->logon->diffForHumans() }}

If it's still a string use: 

{{  \Carbon\Carbon::createFromTimeStamp(strtotime($mytask->logon))->diffForHumans()‌​ }}

I would advise to do that in the controller though or a view composer to keep your view neat.

For laravel 5 Note if you need to do some custom mutations, chuck this in your model.

 /**
 * The string attribute that should be cast to custom carbon date.
 *
 * @var array
 */

public function getTimeAttribute()
{
     return Carbon::createFromTimestampUTC($this->attributes['time']/1000);
}

Dont worry you can still access the original attribute.

    New = {{ $event->time }} Original = {{ $event->getOriginal('time')}}

Hope this helps someone who cannot use the standard way mentioned.
