Laravel 5.4: JWTAuth, ErrorException in EloquentUserProvider.php - laravel

Question

I am a newbie of laravel, so it might be my mistake. Using laravel with tymondesigns/jwt-auth
to verify user. I am watching this tutorial Complete JWT-AUTH api with Laravel and followed every step, the tymon package installation and logging in user. But i am getting this error. I posted code below, tell me if you need more code from any other file.
ErrorException in EloquentUserProvider.php line 120: Argument 1 passed
to Illuminate\Auth\EloquentUserProvider::validateCredentials() must be
an instance of Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, instance of
App\User given
This is my user model:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $hidden = ["password"];
protected $fillable = [
"id",
"name",
"password",
"mobile_number",
"gender",
"age",
"company_name",
"profile_image",
"email"
];
}
?>
This is my ApiAuthController.php
use JWTAuth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\JWTException;
class ApiAuthController extends Controller
{
public function authenticate(){
$credentaials = request()->only('email', 'password');
print_r($credentaials);
try {
$token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentaials);
if(!$token){
return response()->json(['error'=>'invalid credentaials'], 401);
}
} catch (JWTException $e) {
return response()->json(['error'=>'something went wrong'], 500);
}
return response()->json(['token'=>$token], 200);
}
}
User store function in my UsersController:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$payload = json_decode($request->payload, true);
$validator = Validator::make($payload, $this->rules);
if ($validator->passes()) {
$user = (new User())->fill($payload);
if($user->save()){
$response = [
"msg" => "User created",
"link" => "/api/users/" . $user->id
];
return response()->json($response, 200);
}
$response = [
"msg" => "An error occured"
];
return response()->json($response, 404);
}
else {
return response()->json($validator->messages(), 404);
}
}
In storing user request, payload is key and value is json object, the small sample object is given below:
payload={
"name": "Alexa",
"email": "alexa#gmail.com",
"password":"12345",
"gender": "Male",
"age": 24
}

Add this to your model
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
and change this line
class User extends Authenticatable
Edit :
Looks like you're storing passwords in plaintext. Add this to your user model.
public function setPasswordAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['password'] = bcrypt($value);
}
