Laravel-mongodb: [Laravel 5.4] User model doesn't work

[alagaccia]

App/User.php

namespace App;

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Eloquent implements Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    protected $collection = 'users';
}

config/app.php

Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class,

Error:

FatalErrorException in User.php line 9:
App\User cannot implement Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User - it is not an interface

Hi drewlag,

Try the following :

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;

class User extends Eloquent implements AuthenticatableContract,

Replace

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

with

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

It should look like this then

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    protected $collection = 'users';
}

I do not think you can implement a class, only interfaces.

If this worked, please close this issue.

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
This worked for me. Thank you @microwavekonijn

I would suggest adding this to the documentation in README.md.

Thank you @microwavekonijn.
This worked for me (using Laravel 5.5).
I lost way too much time finding this. How could it not be in the docs?!

This thread also helped me immensely. Cheers @microwavekonijn
