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 :)
