Jwt-auth: Custom User Model - Laravel 5.6

[helderferrari2]

Subject of the issue

• I would like to use a Model like App\Models\Clientes instead of APP\User(standard), would it be possible?
• Which version is recommended for Laravel 5.6?

Your environment

| Q | A
| ----------------- | ---
| Bug? | no
| New Feature? | no
| Framework | Laravel
| Framework version | 5.6.18
| Package version | dev-develop
| PHP version | 7.2.3

Expected behaviour

Use JWT with model APP\Models\CLIENTES

Actual behaviour

In earlier versions like 0.5.12, in the file APP\config\jwt.php there was an option to customize the model, but in Dev-Develop version there is not option.

@helderferrari2 The key is changing the users provider. You probably changed your config/auth.php as is stated in the docs:

'guards' => [
    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

As you can see, the api guard is using the users provider. If you look a little further the config/auth.php file, you will find the providers config. It probably looks like this:

'providers' => [
        ...
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\User::class,
        ],
    ],

As you can see the users provider uses the User class as model by default. Change it to your custom class and it should work.

did it work?

[helderferrari2]

Yes it worked perfectly, I used it like this:

In config/auth.php:

'guards' => [
    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'jwt',
        'provider' => 'admins',
    ],
],

'providers' => [
        ...
        'admins' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\Models\Admin::class,
        ],
    ],

thank you for your support

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
