How to filter the date in the table base on the user input Start Date and End date in views?

  return view('userPage.index', compact('get_all_user'));
}

This is the way I do date filtering. In order to catch the start data and end date inject the Request Object in to the index method.Then I would validate the data submitted and I convert the dates in to Carbon Object which give more options like formatting the dates.lastly I use whereDate eloquent query function to compare dates. So the end result would be something like this.

public function index(Request $request)
{
  this->validate($request,[
   'start_date' => 'required|date',
   'end_date' => 'required|date|before_or_equal:start_date',
  ]);

  $start = Carbon::parse($request->start_date);
  $end = Carbon::parse($request->end_date);

  $get_all_user = User::whereDate('date','<=',$end->format('m-d-y'))
  ->whereDate('date','>=',$start->format('m-d-y'));

  return view('userPage.index', compact('get_all_user'));
}
