Let's see your entire file. Are you sure included all the necessary classes with the `use` directive for this line of code? — Udo E., May 28 '22 at 14:45

My approach would be this: (not tested)

public static function getModelByTablename($tableName) {
    $model = "App\Models\\" . str($tableName)->singular()->studly();
    return new $model();
}

(str function is only available on laravel 9, otherwise use Str::of with the correct import)

I am using Str with the correct import and it is working good on my local environment your code gives an error undefined function str – blue arrow May 28 '22 at 17:27
if `str()` is undefined, use `Str::of()` instead. Remember to `use Illuminate\Support\Str;` at the top of the document. – Laisender May 28 '22 at 17:32
can you explain to me what was happening? because it was working locally – blue arrow May 28 '22 at 17:51
I have no Idea, its probably some problem with a different PHP or Laravel Version locally. – Laisender May 28 '22 at 17:57
