Using something like a helper in model

Oh, that was easy :-) I thought, it would be a problem to use the builder.
For all other noobs like me, here is what I did:
First, I extend the Model:

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

class BaseModel extends Model
{

    /**
    * Creates a slug from a given name and increase sufix if slug is in use
    * @param $name STRING to make a slug from
    * @return string
    */
    public function crtSlug(string $name)
    {
        /* Stuff like above */
    }

} 


And then extend this at the other three models:

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

class PageModel extends BaseModel
{
    /* use $this->crtSlug(); in every method here as you want */
} 


Hmm... This is solved, but a further question on this... We well see us soon :-)

Thank you!
