Date columns provide an easy way to display dates in a given format, without having to use repetitive format() methods or partial views.

You may pass either a DateTime object, in which you can define an "outputFormat"

1DateColumn::make('Updated At', 'updated_at')
2    ->outputFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s),

Or you may pass a string, in which case you can define an "inputFormat" in addition to the outputFormat:

1DateColumn::make('Last Charged', 'last_charged_at')
2    ->inputFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s')
3    ->outputFormat('Y-m-d'),

You may also set an "emptyValue" to use when there is no value from the database:

1DateColumn::make('Last Charged', 'last_charged_at')
2    ->inputFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s')
3    ->outputFormat('Y-m-d')
4    ->emptyValue('Not Found'),
