I am using date picker from Bootstrap template framework in one of my Insert record view file, in order to DB accepting the date format i need to convert it to another format using :-
$this->formatDate($request->date)
Now i am creating an edit view file , so in that edit new file i want to set the data picker value to ="$this->date"
that will set the picker value to the same DB record date, it return error :
(Invalid date)
How can i return back to the same original date picker format so i can view it?

Both answers provided by Pyae & Sidharth are right, however i would simply define a mutator in my model to set this to a format i like:
public function setRequestDateAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['request_date'] = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($value)->format('d/m/Y');
}

In Laravel, we can use Carbon.
{{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse($request->date)->format('d/m/Y')}}
It provides an easier way to change any format. Go to see documentation about Laravel Carbon

Use Laravel's dependency for date manipulation called Carbon.
You need to require it in a class to use it.
use Carbon\Carbon;
then you can use the Carbon class to parse and format dates in the following method;
$date = Carbon::parse($request->date)
This can be saved to the model without any manipulation.
You can have a look at the tutorial video here to learn more.
Official documentation is available here
