use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
class Post extends Model
{
    public $table = "posts";
      
    protected $fillable = [
        'id', 'title', 'body', 'status'
    ];
  
    public function scopeToday($query)
    {
        return $query->whereDate('created_at', \Carbon\Carbon::today());
    }
