Create Model for already existing table
Hi there,
I would like to create an admin panel for a database table which already exists.
For non-existing tables, I create a migration, where the database structure is defined.
The table is created in the database when I run artisan migrate.
But if the table already exists, things are somewhat different.
There will not be a migration in this case, since the database must not be dropped and re-created.
But how does Laravel "know" how the table looks like?
How does Laravel "know" the name of the table it should read and/or modify with this admin panel?
I would like Laravel to create the ressources for me. Can that be done?
Kind regards,
Tom
