The metable_type field is used with polymorphic relations, where the Eloquent class name is stored along with the key.

Check out http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#polymorphic-relations for more.

This enables the link back from the meta table to the linked object, which could be different objects, say Post or Comment, or Category.

Thanks @allmyitjason, that seems a great help. I would like to ask whether the above approach should be used in my case - where I would have artists as user and artists can have bio, many audios, videos, images and other fields.
