Laravel get Model by Table Name
<p>Is there any way to get a model by table name?</p>

<p>For example, I have a "User" model, its table is defined as <code>protected $table = "users"</code></p>

<p>Now, what I want to do is to get the model by table name which is equal to "users".</p>

<p>This function is more like the reverse of <code>Model::getTable();</code></p>

<p>I have searched everywhere but I could not find a solution, perhaps I might be missing something simple?</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>I am building something like an API :</p>

<pre><code>Route::get('/{table}', 'ApiController@api');
Route::get('/{table}/filter', 'ApiController@filter');
Route::get('/{table}/sort', 'ApiController@sort');
Route::get('/{table}/search', 'ApiController@search');
</code></pre>

<p>so in the address bar, for example when I search for the "users", I could just hit on the URL:</p>

<pre><code>api/users/search?id=1
</code></pre>

<p>then on the controller, something like:</p>

<pre><code>public function search(){
  // get all the params

  // get the model function
  $model = //function to get model by table name

  // do some filtering, then return the model
  return $model;
}
</code></pre>
