php tinker

My best advise is try it. Just imagine a controller method where you get output from each line. So you can just call get on a model and see the output at once.

Tinker is just a php shell that has access to your laravel application.

In it you can try your code or tinker with it without making changes in your source code.

For example you can try out Eloquent queries to see if you get the expected result.

You can also test your eloquent relationship.

It's kinda like the developer tool console in your browser where you can run javascript on your page but for php.

Psy Shell v0.9.9 (PHP 7.2.11 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> type: "nfs"
=> "nfs"
>>> HomeLatestProjModel::find(1);
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'HomeLatestProjModel' not found in Psy Shell code on line 1
>>> HomeLatestProjModel::find('1');
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'HomeLatestProjModel' not found in Psy Shell code on line 1
>>> HomeLatestProjModel::find('1');
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'HomeLatestProjModel' not found in Psy Shell code on line 1
>>> HomeLatestProjModel::all();
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'HomeLatestProjModel' not found in Psy Shell code on line 1

Why do I get these errors in tinker?

Use the full namespace or use resolve :)

App\HomeLatestProjModel::find(1);

resolve('HomeLatestProjModel')->find(1);

if your Model exists with in a directory then you must to give full path and name

e.g.

in Laravel 8 Models exists within the "Model" Directory so you must have to call like that

App\Models\Post::all();

hey @laracasts2020 welcome to the discussions. Please try answering questions that are recent, not 1 year old.

in Laravel 8 you need full namespace including: eg: $user= App\Models\User

------ for users model.
