Is there anyway to get Model name based on table name

Question

Is there any way to get Model name based on table name in Laravel?

For example, I have a User model:

class User extends Model {
    // This class is related to `users` table in Database.
}

Suppose that this Model (User) is related to users table in database. I want a function like this:

getModelName('users'); // This should return 'User'

Is there something like this?

The Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model has a function for returning the table name for the given model. https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.1/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.php#L1951

You could reverse engineer this function to something like

function getModelName($table)
{
    return Str::studly(Str::singular($table));
}
