eloquent - Laravel assumes the database table is the plural form of the model name

Question

By default, Laravel is assuming that the database table is the plural form of the model name. But what if my table name is "news" and i still want to use this feature? should i change it to "newses" or should i use "new" for the model name?

Answer 1

You may specify a custom table by defining a table property on your model as below

<?php

namespace App;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;

class Flight extends Model
{
/**
 * The table associated with the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $table = 'my_flights';
}
