Description

Has anyone got a example of a test using these repositories. I'm struggling to swap the model instance for testing purposes as the model name is hardcoded in the model() method.

Research direction
Review the l5 repository source code, particularly the src/Prettus/Repository/Eloquent/BaseRepository.php file to understand the model() method and how models are instantiated. Check the existing tests in the tests/ directory for examples. Look at any related issues or PRs that discuss testing strategies. The question asks for a way to mock the repository during testing; research Laravel's testing documentation and the package's service provider for swapable bindings.
