How to load model and helper

Interestingly enough, the Models docs doesn't actually say how to load a model. Embarrassing. But, a model is just a class, so you would get a new instance of it like you would any other class:

Code:

$model = new \App\Models\MyModel();

The helpers docs do explain.

How might one "Auto-Load" a model?

Or, as for namespaces, I assume I cant add my "use \namespace;" and then call the model statically like Laravel? such as "ModeName::find(123)", seems repetitive to have to instantiate the class with "new Model()" and then call methods.
