How to retrieve all records from a database table using Eloquent in Laravel?

To retrieve all records from a database table using Eloquent in Laravel, you can follow the steps below:

Define a model for the table you want to fetch records from. You can create a new model using the php artisan make:model command or manually in the app\Models directory. For example, to fetch records from a table named users, you can create a User model:

php artisan make:model User

In the model file (app\Models\User.php), import the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model class and specify the table name by setting the protected $table property:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'users';
}

In your controller or anywhere you want to retrieve the records, you can use the all() method on the model:

use App\Models\User;

...

$users = User::all();

The all() method will return a collection of all the records in the users table. You can then loop through the collection or perform any other operations you require.

Note: Don't forget to import the User model at the top of your file (use App\Models\User;).
