How to hide events that happened today and have passed ? Symfony - symfony

Question

In my Symfony project, I have created the table "event" and datatime field in it named start. In twig, I wish to filter and display upcoming events. So events that have passed would be visible any more.
At the moment, I used {% if event.start > date() %}. It worked to hide events that happened days before today. I wanted also to hide events that already happened today but currently it doesn't work when time has passed of the today's event.
How can I hide events that time already has passed ?

Answer 1

better to make a function in the repository and call it in the controller not using findAll and hide events.
// EventRepository
public function eventsList()
{
return $this->createQueryBuilder('e')
->andWhere('e.date >= :today')
->setParameter('today', new \DateTime())
->orderBy('e.id', 'DESC')
->getQuery()
->getResult()
;
}

Answer 2

Here is the solution :
Make sure the field is datetime.
Use {% if event.start > 'now' %}and it will take into account day (of today) and (current) time.

Answer 3

Here is a better solution (I precise that an address is given to events, and address has a "bigcity" registered, this why I am using LocationRepository) :
EventController.php
#[Route('/events', name: 'events')]
public function events(
Request $request,
EventRepository $eventRepository,
CategoryRepository $categoryRepository,
BigCityRepository $bigcityRepository,
LocationRepository $locationRepository
){
$category = $categoryRepository->findOneById($request->query->get('category'));
$bigcity = $bigcityRepository->findOneById($request->query->get('bigcity'));
$location = $locationRepository->findAll($request->query->get('location.bigcity'));
$events = $eventRepository->findBy(['category' => $category, 'address' => $location]);
return $this->render("front/events.html.twig", [
'events' => $events,
'category' => $category,
'bigcity' => $bigcity
]);
}
