Laravel Eloquent Find Not Working When Given String Model

Question

I have A Model In Laravel stored in variable as String.

$model = "App\Models\City";

What I want is

$model::find(1) to fetch the City with ID of 1

But It's not working as it is expected. However, when I do

City::find(1)

Not using the $model variable. I can fetch my expected result.

Anyone?

@usrNotFound I already set $primaryKey in my model to update my primary Key — John Roca, Aug 04 '17 at 05:41
`$model = "App\Models\City";` need to be `$model = "App\Models\Country";` — Alive to die - Anant, Aug 04 '17 at 05:42
have you tried with `call_user_func()`, like `call_user_func(array($model , 'find'));` not sure just curious. — BetaDev, Aug 04 '17 at 05:45
`$model = app("App\Models\City"); $model::find(1); //returns null if there isn't a record` — linktoahref, Aug 04 '17 at 05:46

You could resolve the class out of service container

$model = app("App\Models\City");
$model::find(1);

Try this:

$model = "App\Models\City";
$id =1
$city = call_user_func(array($model, 'find'), $id);
