Laravel model looks to old table name

Question

I am using Laravel 5 and have changed the name of a database table from "domain_related_settings" to "DomainRelatedSettings" by rolling back all migrations, changing the specific migration, and running them again. The new table name is reflected in the database.

But when i use the corresponding model DomainRelatedSetting in a statement like this:

$domainSettings = DomainRelatedSetting::where('hostname', 'foo')->first();

it gives the following error:

SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found:
1146 Table 'databasename.domain_related_settings' doesn't exist
(SQL: select * from `domain_related_settings` where `hostname` = foo limit 1)

So it is still using the old table name. How can I ensure the new table name is used?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use the default table name (the "snake case", plural name of the class), you should specify it to the model:

protected $table = 'DomainRelatedSettings';

Check the documentation at the Table Names section.
