I have moved the User model from the default app directory into app/Models.
I have updated the namespace in User to namespace App\Models; but I am getting this error:
FatalErrorException in EloquentUserProvider.php line 122: Class '\App\User' not found
I have the correct entry in my json file:
"autoload": { "classmap": [ "database", "app/Modules", "app/Models" ], "psr-4": { "App\\": "app/", "Modules\\": "app/Modules/" } },
What have I missed?
You need to update your config/auth.php file. Change 'model' => 'App\User' to 'model' => 'App\Models\User'.
Don't forget to clear cache after all previous changes
php artisan config:clear
Don't forget to change your User.php namespace.
E.g. If your User model is located at /App/User.php then the first line should read:
<?php namespace App;
However, if you've created a /Models directory and your User model is now located at /App/Models/User.php, the first line of User.php should reference this new namespace:
<?php namespace App\Models;
Hope that helps.
* Note: My tactic is probably technically 'incorrect' as it pollutes the global namespace. However, I had trouble getting the other answers working and post this only as a last resort. *
I did this a slightly different way than the other answers. I'm also using Laravel 5.
1) I created the app/Models directory and moved User.php into that directory.
2) I modified /app/Models/User.php by removing the namespace at the top. This might be polluting the global namespace, but it's the only way I could get it working.
<?php // !!!! NOTICE no namespace here !!!!! use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword; use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract; use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract; class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, CanResetPasswordContract { use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword; /** * The database table used by the model. * * @var string */ protected $table = 'users'; /** * The attributes that are mass assignable. * * @var array */ protected $fillable = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password']; /** * The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form. * * @var array */ protected $hidden = ['password', 'remember_token']; }
3) I added "app/Models" to my autoload section in composer.json:
"autoload": { "classmap": [ "database", "app/Models" // <==== I added this ], "psr-4": { "App\\": "app/" } },
4) I modified auth.php as follows:
/* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Authentication Model |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | When using the "Eloquent" authentication driver, we need to know which | Eloquent model should be used to retrieve your users. Of course, it | is often just the "User" model but you may use whatever you like. | */ 'model' => '\User',
For reference, here's my users table migration:
<?php use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; class CreateUsersTable extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up() { Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table) { $table->increments('id'); $table->string('first_name'); $table->string('last_name'); $table->string('email')->unique(); $table->string('password', 60); $table->rememberToken(); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::drop('users'); } }
And here's my UsersTableSeeder.php file:
<?PHP use Illuminate\Database\Seeder; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder { public function run() { DB::table('users')->delete(); $users = [ [ 'id' => 1, 'first_name' => 'Bret', 'last_name' => 'Lastname', 'email' => 'email@domain.com', 'password' => Hash::make('my raw dev password')] ]; foreach($users as $user){ \User::create($user); } } } ?>
After all of those updates were done, on the command line I ran:
composer dump-autoload php artisan migrate --seed
Hope this helps!
Don't forget to change
use App\User;
to
use App\Models\User;
in the AuthController.php
If you have your models in a specific folder, then you need to run
composer dump-autoload
to refresh :)
