How to return database table name in Laravel

Question

Is there a way that I can get the current database table in use by the model that I\'m in? I see that there is a table() function in Laravel/Database/Eloquent/model.php but

Since table is a protected property in the Model class (Laravel >= 5) you will need an instance of your Model.

            ->update(['field' => false]);
