Comparing carbon dates in Laravel Framework

Question

How can I check if $expiresAt has actually expired, against the $now timestamp?

$expiresAt = Carbon::parse($tokenInstance->expires_at);
$now = Carbon::now();

Or you could just use `Carbon::parse(...)->isPast()`. – fubar Feb 26 '18 at 05:40 — fubar, Feb 26 '18 at 05:40

This itself will work:

if($expiresAt < $now){
    echo 'Expired';
}else{
    echo 'No Expired';
}

Don't know if this helps, but the Laravel Query Builder offers a more Eloquent solution:

$query ->whereDate('$expiresAt', '<', date('Y-m-d'));
