In Laravel 5.6, I have a settings table with a `user_id`.

I am trying to be able to link the `\App\User` class with the settings table.

I've got a `Settings` model with the following:

```
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class settings extends Model
{
    protected $table = "settings";
}

```

And in my `\App\User.php` file I've got the following function:

```
public function settings() {
    $this->belongsTo(Settings::class);  
}

```

and at the top of that file i've got `Uses App\Settings`. 

However when I run the following code in my master.blade.php template:

`{{ dd(auth()->user()->settings()) }}`

I just get `null`. Why is this?
