Accessing model in middleware in laravel

I am building a multi tenant app and I am distinguishing the tenant based on the subdomain. I have registered a global middleware on the laravel kernel and I need to use my model in the middleware to get DB connection and then assign the values to a second mysql connection.

I tried doing what the documentation said but being a bit on laravel I am not getting my head around this.

Below is my middleware. Seems like a linking issue.

This is my middleware. 

 <?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;

class TenantIdentification
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function boot(Router $router)
    {
        parent::boot($router);

        $router->model('tenant', '\App\Models\Tenant');
    }

    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {

        $tk = "HYD"; //hardcoded for the time being

        $tenant = \App\Models\Tenant::where('tenantKey', $tk)->first();

        var_dump($tenant);
        exit();
        return $next($request);
    }
}

Below is my model.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Tenant extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'tenantinfo';

}

I get

"FatalErrorException in TenantIdentification.php line 28: Class 'Class 'App\Models\Tenant' not found".

Line 28 is $tenant = \App\Models\Tenant::where('tenantKey', $tk)->first();

My model is located in app\Models\Tenant.php Does the boot function do anything? If I can load the model there, how would I refer to it within the handle method?

In the model file you were invoking the namespace with just App and you referenced it with App\Models.

Therefore, change the namespace in the model file to

namespace App\Models;

in the model file how about replacing

namespace App;

with

namespace App\Models;
