Properties detail
$modelClass ¶
This object's primary model class name. Should be a plural form. CakePHP will not inflect the name.
Example: For an object named 'Comments', the modelClass would be 'Comments'.
Plugin classes should use Plugin.Comments style names to correctly load
models from the correct plugin.
Use false to not use auto-loading on this object. Null auto-detects based on controller name.
