Structure

The definition of an entity is stored in the following tables in the database:

• lara_ent_entities

• lara_ent_entity_columns

• lara_ent_entity_custom_columns

• lara_ent_entity_object_relations

• lara_ent_entity_panels

• lara_ent_entity_relations

• lara_ent_entity_views

Most of these tables have their own tab in the builder:

Tab: info

The Info tab contains the basic fields of the entity.

The entity key

The most important field is the entity key . Think of it as the slug of the entity. When you create a new entity, you should choose a singular noun as your entity key. So event, and not: events. When controllers are created by the builder, your entity key will be pluralized automatically, following the naming conventions of Laravel.
