If you would like to generate / build model files for our existing database tables, Open the terminal or command prompt and install the following package,

​composer require "laracademy/generators" --dev


Once you have completed the above step, just run below PHP command inside your project root directory:

php artisan generate:modelfromtable --schema="ENTER_YOUR_DATABASE_NAME"


Another option is,

Open the generated model file located in the app directory and specify the table name and fillable fields of the database table. For example





namespace App;



use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class ModelName extends Model

{

    protected $table = 'db_table_name';



    protected $fillable = [

        'field_name1',

        'field_name1',

        // add more fillable fields here

    ];

}
