Laravel Eloquent is one of the most powerful and amazing features in a modern framework today. From casting data to value objects and classes, protected the database using fillable fields, transactions, scopes, global scopes, and relationships.

final class Post extends Model { protected $fillable = [ 'title', 'slug', 'content', 'published', ]; protected $casts = [ 'published' => 'boolean', ]; }

Luckily this is not the case with the query method, which is a static method on the Eloquent Model you are extending.

There are a few benefits to this, or at least there used to be before Eloquent became what it is today.
