found answer in this question

in modal.php add

protected $casts = [
    'created_at' => 'timestamp',
    'updated_at' => 'timestamp'
];

CodePudding user response：

Hi please follow these steps :

in your migration file ,change the

$table->unsignedInteger('created_at');
$table->unsignedInteger('updated_at');

$table->timestamps();

it will automatically create two columns in your table

Also please drop $casts and $dataFormat in your model.php file ,you don't need them anymore .

Finaly to achieve your result it is enough to do this :

Model->created_at->timestamp
Model->updated_at->timestamp

Notice the Model in above code should be replaced with the model object you have , for example :

Post::find(1)->created_at->timestamp

or any other method of post object .
