How can I dynamically create a Model?

posted 10 years ago

Example taken form http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26757452/laravel-eloquent-accessing-properties-and-dynamic-table-names

class Team extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {

    public function __construct($attributes = [], $year = null) {
        parent::construct($attributes);

        $year = $year ?: date('Y');

        $this->setTable("gamedata_$year_teams");
    }

    // Your other stuff here...

}

I call it:

$myTeam = new Team([], 2015);

And I get the error: "Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::construct()".

Solution

Shouldn't it be

parent::__construct($attributes);

Thanks! It works! (it looks so obvious now, that I think I must visit an ophthalmologist...)

And how do I get a record? These don't work:

$t=$myTeam ->find($id); 
$t=$myTeam ::find($id);

Maybe I'm doing it the wrong way.

What I want to do is change table of a Model, dynamically.

Is this the correct way?
