Table names

When creating a Model, you won't need to name the model table. Larawiz automatically creates the table using the plural name of the model.

yaml

models:
  Post:
    title: string
    excerpt: string
    body: longText

1

php

class Podcast extends Model
{
     // ...
}

php

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('excerpt');
    $table->longText('body');
    $table->timestamps();
});

You can override the automatic table name with the table key and the new name of the table. Larawiz will make the changes on both the Model and the migration.

For example, we can set the Post model to use the blog_posts table:

yaml

models:
  Post:
    title: string
    excerpt: string
    body: longText
    timestamps: ~
  
    table: blog_posts

php

class Podcast extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'blog_posts';
}

php

Schema::create('blog_posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('excerpt');
    $table->longText('body');
    $table->timestamps();
});

It's your table name

If you issue the table name equally to the plural, Larawiz will still add the $table property.

Table names on Pivot Models

Larawiz uses Laravel conventions to name the table of a Pivot Model.

yaml

models:
  User:
    # ...
  Podcast:
    # ...

  Subscription:
    # ...

php

Schema::create('podcast_user', function (Blueprint $table) {
    // ...
})

You can override the table name using the table key with a Custom Model.

yaml

models:
  # ...

  Subscription:
    columns:
      # ...
    table: subscriptions

php

Schema::create('subscriptions', function (Blueprint $table) {
