How to disable timestamps in laravel

• Disable timestamps in laravel

  --PATH app\Models\Post.php

  class Post extends Model
  {
      public $timestamps = FALSE;
      // Other model properties and methods
  }
  

  To disable timestamps in laravel automatic, in your eloquent Model (Post) you need to add this property.

  If your Database table doesn't have created_at and updated_at fields, and you will try to do something like Post::create($arrayOfValues). You will get SQL error because Laravel would try to automatically fill in created_at/updated_at and wouldn’t find them. This property prevent to insert values of created_at and updated_at either column exists or not in table.

• Disable timestamps by removing $table->timestamps() from your migration

  --PATH database\migrations\<yourmigrationfile>.php

  <?php
   
  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
  use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
  use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
   
  class CreateChannelsTable extends Migration
  {
      /**
       * Run the migrations.
       *
       * @return void
       */
      public function up()
      {
          Schema::create('channels', function (Blueprint $table) {
              $table->increments('id');
              $table->string('name', 50);
              $table->string('slug', 50);
              //$table->timestamps();
          });
      }
   
      /**
       * Reverse the migrations.
       *
       * @return void
       */
      public function down()
      {
          Schema::dropIfExists('channels');
      }
  }
  

  You can disable timestamps by removing $table->timestamps(); from migration file. After updating the migration file run php artisan migrate command to create table structure for this particular migration file. After the successfull migration created_at and updated_at fields has been removed from your table structure.
