Laravel5：为什么我的模型“媒体”需要名为“媒体”的表而不是“媒体”？

Question

From the doc of laravel, it claims:

Now, let's look at an example Flight model, which we will use to retrieve and store information from our flights database table

So I wrote:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Media extends Model
{
    //
}

And controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Media;

class MediaController extends Controller
{
    public function index() {
        return view('medias.index')->with('medias', Media::all());
    }
}

But when I query MediaController@index, it gives that error:

QueryException in Connection.php line 729:
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'myapp.media' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `media`)

It requires a table named media instead of medias as document said. So why that errors happened? Do I accidentally open option flag which changed the default name mapping from model to table or something similar?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

As @FrankProvost said, Laravel (Doctrine, actually) is smart enough and has hardcoded words that should not be inflected:

....
'Kongoese', 'Lucchese', 'mackerel', 'Maltese', '.*?media',
....

So, use media table or use protected $table variable to force medias table name.
