$u= new User; $u->abc();

UPDATE :SOLVED ,Done Nothing I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH LARAVEL $u= new user; $u->abc();

i just changed User to user and its started working and i dnt even know why ,anyone know reason??

Answer 1

Every method on a Model get passed on to a new QueryBuilder

User::where()
User::find()
User::{relationship}()

If you instantiate a model like this

$user = User::find()->method();

it will work. Don't try to make your Eloquent models too fat. Just create a Repository to make your Controllers as thin as possible and your Eloquent just as intelligent as it can be by using the tools given by Eloquent (relationships, hidden attributes, accessors & mutators, $this->appends, ...)

Everything else belongs in your Repositories.
