Makes Eloquent models use singular (rather than plural) table names by default.

Eloquent singular table names

Makes Eloquent models use singular (rather than plural) table names by default., _(*1)

Usage

Simple apply the trait to your Eloquent model:, _(*2)

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MartinBean\Database\Eloquent\SingularTableName;

class User extends Model
{
    use SingularTableName;
}

The default table name will be user now, rather than users., _(*3)

If you wish to use singular table names for all of your models, then you can create an abstract class that implements the trait, and have all of your models extend that class:, _(*4)

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MartinBean\Database\Eloquent\SingularTableName;

abstract class SingularModel extends Model
{
    use SingularTableName;
}

namespace App;

class User extends SingularModel
{
    // No need to implement trait
}
