adding today() filter on the ORM Elquent model

[mohammad-azzam-dev]

Hello,

I propose a method called today(dateField: 'date_field') on the eloquent ORM. This method allows querying records by filtering data that correspond to the current day. It accepts an optional parameter $dateField, which specifies the date field to be used for filtering. If $dateField is not provided, the method will default to using the created_at field. Alternatively, you can specify a different default date field by defining a private property in the model class.

I have implemented it by a scopMethod, hope to accept this request and allow me to add it to the Laravel framework and code it :D

public function scopeToday($query, $field){
    return $query->whereBetween($field,[today()->startOfDay(), today()->endOfDay()]);
}

To implement the code in the Builder class it would be something like this
public function today(string $field='created_at')
{
$now = \Carbon::now();
return $this->whereBetween($field,[$now->startOfDay(), $now->endOfDay()]);
}
