Hi artisan, sometimes we need to get 7, 15 or 30 days of data from the database. In this short article, I’m going to share how to get the last N days data in Laravel. Let’s see an example:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function index() {
        $last_n_days = 7;
        $posts = Post::whereBetween('date', [
            Carbon::now()->subdays($last_n_days)->format('Y-m-d'),
            Carbon::now()->subday()->format('Y-m-d')
        ])->get();

        dd($posts);
    }
}

In the example, we got the last 7 days posts from database.

That’s it. Thanks for reading. ?
