Using your own model

A custom model allows you to add your own methods, add relationships and so on.

The easiest way to use your own custom model would be to extend the default Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Media-class. Here's an example:

namespace App\Models;

use Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Media as BaseMedia;

class Media extends BaseMedia
{
...

In the config file of the package you must specify the name of your custom class:

// config/media-library.php
...
   'media_model' => App\Models\Media::class
...
