array<callableCake\Datasource\Locator\LocatorInterface>$modelClass ¶ protected deprecated
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.
