Laravel Models Eloquent Dynamically change table name

Some times you need to use one model for many tables, that means you want the same model but with many tables . So the property table will be dynamically set .to achieve this all you have to do is to use a trait that do the job as shown in the following code:

 

 /* DynamicTable.php */ 
 
trait DynamicTable
{
    protected $connection = null;
    protected $table = null;

    public function bind(string $connection, string $table)
    {
        $this->setConnection($connection);
        $this->setTable($table);
    }

    public function newInstance($attributes = [], $exists = false)
    {
        // Overridden in order to allow for late table binding.

        $model = parent::newInstance($attributes, $exists);
        $model->setTable($this->table);

        return $model;
    }

}

let's say our Model is called Profile :

require_once("DynamicTable.php"); 
 
class Profile extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
 
 use DynamicTable;
 
 public $timestamps = false; 
   
} 
 

Now, when you need to retrieve Model you will create a new object of this model and assign table and connection if the connection is different from default:

profiel1 = new Profile;
prfoile->setTable ("profile01");
profile->setConnection("mysql");
$results = $profile->find(123);

To insert data you can do the same .
Some retrieving commands will not work like all(), but you can use where(1,1) and it will do the job.
