(Laravel) Change Nova Resource name? (only on interface)

Question

I'm trying to change the display name of one Nova resource, without change the name from de database that it references. Only for View / interface purposes.

I checked the App\Nova*myResource*.php file and find this variable:

public static $title = 'newName';

But after change this the same old name still appears. Anyone knows how to resolve this? maybe I have just to type some comands with artisan. (I have alredy try to restart the server).

Static methods need to have no effect on the state of the object. They can have local variables in addition to the parameters. — sta
@AndriiSukhoi yes, it seems like a model, but a Model from App\Nova — Miwell Joestar

As Laravel nova docs states:

When a resource is shown within the search results, the results will display the "title" of the resource. For example, a User resource may use the name attribute as its title. Then, when the resource is shown within the global search results, that attribute will be displayed.

E.g. if you have User resource, you can set $title to email and when you use a search, his e-mail will be displayed as an attribute identifying him:

To change resource's label you can overwrite public static function label() and public static function singularLabel() methods in your resource's class.

Before:

After:

/**
 * Get the displayable label of the resource.
 *
 * @return string
 */
public static function label()
{
    return 'Customers';
}

/**
 * Get the displayable singular label of the resource.
 *
 * @return string
 */
public static function singularLabel()
{
    return 'Customer';
}
