Custom models working with storeViews

Question
I made a custom module that creates a model which can be associated to products. There are 2 tables:
Model
(for simplify, it only has anid
,name
andimg
)ModelProduct
(id
,id_model
,id_product
)
I have this, and it works fine for my purposes.
Now it has to be multilingual, in particular I only need that the name of the Model be in every storeView. So how can I do it?
The first thought is add another column in model store_id
but then I will have to save the same association for every storeView, because the same Model translated for every storeView will have differents id.
So I didn't know how to do next, these solutions came to me:
I can add another column on the Model like
model_id
and save the same if for every storeView, and inModelProduct
save thatmodel_id
instead ofid
.Add storeView on ModelProduct and add a row for every storeView with the same association.
But I don't know if there is a better way to do these kind of things. I think is a recurring problem, working with storeViews.
Solution
You can create your custom EAV model so you can scope name to storeview. Look that module as example of how to create custom EAV models in magento 2 https://github.com/ksz2013/m2-foggyline-office
