Overview

Models represent database entities and define relationships, fillable attributes, and other Eloquent ORM features. They serve as the primary way to interact with the database.

Key Features of Models in Aureus ERP

• Define table structures using Eloquent ORM.
• Establish relationships such as hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo, and belongsToMany.
• Implement accessors and mutators to format data before saving or retrieving it.
• Use query scopes to filter data efficiently.
• Enable factories for generating test data.

Example: Defining a Model

<?php

namespace Webkul\Blog\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = ['title', 'content', 'author_id', 'published_at'];

    public function author()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'author_id');
    }
}
