Laravel Custom Model Methods

Question

Whenever I add additional logic to Eloquent models, I end up having to make it a static method (i.e. less than ideal) in order to call it from the model\'s facade.

Answer 1

for better dynamic code, rather than using Model class name "Car",

just use "static" or "self"

public static function getAllSortedByMake()
{
    //to return "Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder" class object you can add another where as you want
    return static::where('...');

    //or return already as collection object
    return static::where('...')->get();
}
