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
This is how I am comparing 2 dates, now() and a date from the table
@if (\Carbon\Carbon::now()->lte($item->client->event_date_from)) ..... ..... @endif
Should work just right. I have used the comparison functions provided by Carbon.
