How can I get table name, statically from Eloquent model?

Question

Right now I have this code to check to which table an Eloquent model is connected into.

$s = new Something();
dd($s->getTable());

Is there anyway I can get the table without instantiating new Something object?

I was thinking something like these codes:

Something::getTable();

But there will be ..should not be called statically error.

Answer 1

You can add to your model.

public static function getTableName()
{
    return (new self())->getTable();
}

Then you can get table name with Something::getTableName()
