Laravel Eloquent
Introduction#
The Eloquent is an ORM (Object Relational Model) included with the Laravel. It implements the active record pattern and is used to interact with relational databases.
Remarks#
Table naming
The convention is to use pluralised “snake_case” for table names and singular “StudlyCase” for model names. For example:
- A
catstable would have aCatmodel - A
jungle_catstable would have aJungleCatmodel - A
userstable would have aUsermodel - A
peopletable would have aPersonmodel
Eloquent will automatically try to bind your model with a table that has the plural of the name of the model, as stated above.
You can, however, specify a table name to override the default convention.
class User extends Model
{
protected $table = 'customers';
}
