4 years ago Hmm, I'm not comfortable monkey-patching my Laravel install to achieve this.
I wonder if there is another workaround at the individual model level within my app's codebase that can be applied, or whether there is a suitable fix to this package that would allow out of the box success on Laravel 5.5?
It's a bit beyond me at the moment, but I'll give it some thought.

Hi all,
I am in doubt whether this classifies as an "issue" but for the purpose of documentation and helping others who might run into the same problem, I thought I'd type it down.
For a project still using Laravel 5.5 (yes haven't been able to upgrade and needed to generate a diagram), I installed this package and ran it. I got the exception:
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::getPivotClass()after the models have been inspected.
The ER diagram generator calls a method by that name on the Eloquent Relationship, but since that method does not exist in Laravel 5.5 it tries to call a method with the same name on the Query\Builder class, triggering the exception.
Workaround:
I snatched the getPivotClass() implementation from Laravel 5.8 (it's just a few lines of code, included below) and pasted it into the Eloquent\BelongsToMany relationship and that seems to have done the trick.
public function getPivotClass() { return $this->using ?? Pivot::class; }
