In this post we will explain of how to disable model timestamps in Laravel. We require to disable created_at and updated_at timestamps on model on Laravel, So we can do it simply by using $timestamps variable of model.
In this post I will share a simple method to manage laravel model to without timestamps. In Laravel Eloquent models automatically maintain created_at and updated_at timestamps. If you want to disable them, you can use the $timestamps property in your model.
When you create new category or using model at that time created_at and updated_at column set default time by default but you can prevent to set false value of $timestamps variable.
I am creating new category records using create method of model like as below example.
Category::create([
'name' => 'xyz'
]);By default, Laravel automatically update the created_at and updated_at columns in database table whenever records are inserted or updated. If you don’t need these timestamps, you can disable them your eloquent model.

Using timestamps = false in Laravel Model.
To disable timestamps for a specific model, set the $timestamps property to false.
Make sure place the $timestamps = false; property inside the mode class, like below.
app/Models/Category.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Category extends Model
{
public $fillable = ['name'];
public $timestamps = false;
}
Now, you can check, created_at and updated_at will be null. This tells eloquent to not expected or update created_at and updated_at field.
Laravel disable timestamps created_at and updated_at
To disable both created_at and updated_at columns in a model, just set the $timestamps property to false:

{
public $timestamps: false;
}This method is the disable Laravel’s eloquent timestamps entirely.
I hope this tutorial help you.
