Use model names dynamically if you have its name as a string

Sometimes, you will need to use/call models/classes dynamically if you only have its fully qualified name as a string. So for example if you have a record and you got its class|model name using get_class($record), and now you need to access this model using the name you have right now. then you can use the following snippet to do so.

$theBaseClassName = get_class($record);

$model = app("{$theBaseClassName}");

$model = app(get_class($record)); //Same as previous

//Now you can access different attributes from this class as follows:

$model->indexName; // IndexName property.

$model->getTable(); //Model Table



//Another way is as follows:

$baseModelName = 'Bill';

$modelName = "\\App\Models\\".$baseModelName; \\Note the use of double back slashes 

$theModel = new $modelName();
