I'm using Eloquent to create models in my Laravel app. I'm not sure what I changed, but now I'm receiving this error when I try to create new instances of `AppUser`:

```

```

It makes sense that the query fails because the table is named `app_users` not `appUsers`. However, I'm using Eloquent for all of my queries, so I'm not writing any by hand. I've tried adding `protected $table = 'app_users'` to my `AppUser` model class, but it still appears to be querying the wrong table.

This is the function creating the model:

```
protected function create(array $fields)
{
    return AppUser::create([
        'email' => $fields['email'],
        'name' => $fields['name'],
        'photo' => $fields['photo'],
        'phone' => $fields['phone'],
        'password' => bcrypt($fields['password'])
    ]);
}

```

Models/AppUser.php

```
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Backpack\CRUD\CrudTrait;
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;

class AppUser extends Authenticatable
{
    use CrudTrait, HasApiTokens;

    protected $table = 'app_users';
    //protected $primaryKey = 'id';
    // public $timestamps = false;
    // protected $guarded = ['id'];
    protected $fillable = ['email', 'password', 'name', 'photo', 'phone', 'api_token'];
    protected $hidden = ['password'];
    // protected $dates = [];

    /*

    public function getAuthIdentifier() {
        return $this->getKey();
    }

    public function getAuthPassword() {
        return $this->password;
    }

    public function findForPassport($username) {
        return $this->where('email', $username)->first();
    }
}
