Create construct function for Eloquent Model Laravel

Question

I have this code

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
use Stevebauman\Location\Drivers\Driver;
use Stevebauman\Location\Exceptions\DriverDoesNotExistException;

Class CRUD extends Eloquent {
protected $collection;
   public function __construct($collection ,array $attributes = array())
   {

  parent::__construct($attributes);

       $this->collection = $collection;

   }

}

when I am using this code in order to call the constructor , I get nothings $device_mode=new CRUD('HW101950054393'); because as I noticed when I trying to echo the $collection variable inside the constructor I get this error

Array to string conversion

I don't understand that as I am passing the variable as string but the model working with it as array. why is that happening, and how can I solve it

Does this answer your question? [A \_\_construct on an Eloquent Laravel Model](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30502922/a-construct-on-an-eloquent-laravel-model) — Adam, Feb 11 '20 at 11:38
What if you use `use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;` instead of Jenssegers package, is this working? — Adam, Feb 11 '20 at 12:34

Your code should work. Double check your if code is identical to what you posted.

I am using Laravel 5.6 and this is working without problems:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Test extends Model
{
    protected $collection;

    public function __construct($collection, array $attributes = array())
    {
        parent::__construct($attributes);

        $this->collection = $collection;
    }
}

Calling

Route::get('/test', function () {
    $test = new \App\Test('1234');
}

works fine.

@M.Bwe not sure, maybe collection name is used in `Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model`. You could try to rename your attribut `collection` to `test` or something – Adam Feb 11 '20 at 13:29
@M.Bwe, you cant echo an array, use `var_dump` or `dd` (stops execution immediately) to see their content safely. – Bagus Tesa Feb 11 '20 at 13:31
@Adam I changed the name from collection to test , but when I write echo $test , the result is HW101950054393Array which is mix of string and array even I called it using this command $device_mode=new CRUD('HW101950054393') which is only string – M.Bwe Feb 11 '20 at 13:36
