Model Usage

In a Laravel project, models represent the connection between your database tables and your application logic. They rely on Eloquent ORM, Laravel’s built-in object-relational mapper.

Each model typically corresponds to a single database table

Database Table	Laravel Model
users	App\Models\User
posts	App\Models\Post
orders	App\Models\Order

Eloquent allows you to interact with your data as PHP objects while providing powerful features such as:

• Relationships (hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo, etc.)
• Dynamic queries (User::where(‘active’, true)->get())
• Simplified create/update operations ($user->save())
• Attribute protection through $fillable or $guarded
