How to only use created_at in Laravel

Question

I want only use created_at , how to do it?

I know:

This can custom timestamps name

const CREATED_AT = \'created\';
const UPDATED_AT = \'updat         


        

Answer 1

On your model set

const UPDATED_AT = null;

or

const CREATED_AT = null;

it stops Laravel trying to update the updated_at/created_at field

It works for Laravel 5.8

And it is better than overwrite: setUpdatedAt in your model

public function setUpdatedAt($value) : self 
{
    // Do nothing.
    return $this;
}

because it is shorter and because the check for if (! is_null(static::UPDATED_AT) is happening in source code earlier than triggering setUpdatedAt
