Message:

i defined created at format in baseModel like this:

protected function serializeDate(DateTimeInterface $date): string

{

    return Carbon::instance($date)->toIso8601String();

}

but when i use api Resource, changed created_at format

this is api resource:

 public function toArray($request)

{

    return [

        'id' => $this->id,

        'last_status' => $this->lastStatus->status,

        'terminal' => [

            'provider' => $this->terminal_provider,

            'psp' => $this->terminal_psp,

        ],

        'account' => [

            'iban' => $this->account_iban,

        ],

        'count' => $this->count,

        'amount_settle' => $this->amount_settle,

        'amount_wage' => $this->amount_settle,

        'created_at' => $this->created_at,

        'statuses' => AggregateStatusResource::collection($this->whenLoaded('statuses')),

        'shaparak_files' => ShaparakFileResource::collection($this->whenLoaded('shaparakFiles')),

    ];

}

whay change format for all of api resources

My Answer:
The reason the created_at format is changing in your API resource is because Laravel's API resources use the toArray method to format the data before it is returned as a JSON response. In your baseModel, you are defining a custom serialization method for the created_at attribute, but this method is not being used when the data is being converted to an array in the API resource.

To ensure that the created_at attribute is formatted correctly in your API resource, you can either manually format the attribute in the toArray method of your resource, or you can create a custom resource class that extends Laravel's API resource and overrides the toArray method to use your custom serialization method for the created_at attribute.

Here is an example of how you can manually format the created_at attribute in your API resource:

php
'created_at' => $this->created_at->toIso8601String(),


Alternatively, you can create a custom resource class that extends Laravel's API resource and overrides the toArray method to use your custom serialization method for the created_at attribute:

php
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;

class CustomResource extends JsonResource
{
protected function serializeDate($date)
{
return $date->toIso8601String();
}
}

class YourResource extends CustomResource
{
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
// Your resource data here
];
}
}


By using either of these methods, you can ensure that the created_at attribute is formatted correctly in your API resource.
