Change USER Model Primary key ID to another in Laravel Passport

Question

I have a project where I have changed the User model primary key from \"id\" to \"MemberX\" using the following command in my User.php model file:

protected $primaryKey

Answer 1

Add this code to your User model

{
   return $this->hasMany(Passport::clientModel(), 'user_id', 'MemberID');
}

Answer 2

Maybe you should check if the driver on the laravel/config/auth.php has eloquent instead of database?

'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent', //instead of database
            'model' => App\User::class,
        ],

database uses DatabaseUserProvider which the find method only looks on the id column.

eloquent uses EloquentUserProvider which the find method looks at the primary key if $primaryKey is defined before looking at id.
