Laravel – How can I check a Model is already connected to a database, by using dd(Model)?

In Laravel Controller file, I have code like this

 $WhiteListEmail = new WhiteListEmail();         
 dd($WhiteListEmail);

and in chrome browser, it returns

^ SunnyVisionWpCustomSearchModelsWhiteListEmail {#1021
  #connection: "phish"
  #table: "white_list_email"
  #primaryKey: "id"
  #keyType: "int"
  +incrementing: true
  #with: []
  #withCount: []
  +preventsLazyLoading: false
  #perPage: 15
  +exists: false
  +wasRecentlyCreated: false
  #attributes: []
  #original: []
  #changes: []
  #casts: []
  #classCastCache: []
  #dates: []
  #dateFormat: null
  #appends: []
  #dispatchesEvents: []
  #observables: []
  #relations: []
  #touches: []
  +timestamps: true
  #hidden: []
  #visible: []
  #fillable: array:1 [
    0 => "email"
  ]

Does
#connection: "phish"
describe it really connected to a database or it just represent
I set this attribute in the model.php file?

I tried to google, but not much news on that.

    Fill your table with a single record or more than try this code :

     $WhiteListEmail = WhiteListEmail::get();         
 dd($WhiteListEmail);

    explaination :
    the first row is to get all data that exist in your table, and the second row is to show the data(s) using dd. if you can find the data in the output, then it’s already connected and ready to use.

    note :
    laravel model can be connected automatically if you named your model using the singular form of the table name. eg :

    1. table name = ’employees’
    2. model name = ‘Employee’

    in Laravel naming conventions, model name best written using Camel Case while table name best written using lower case with undescore "_" as word separator.

    use ->exists property to check if a model has been persisted on the database

    $WhiteListEmail = new WhiteListEmail();         
dd($WhiteListEmail->exists);
