JSON Web Token only work in Laravel with Eloquent model - laravel

Question

I am using Laravel and I want to use JSon Web Token (JWT). I download the tymon vendor. When I tried to generate the token it raise me an error said that my model is not an instance of Eloquent model. So I check the vendor code and I saw this in EloquentUserAdapter:
<?php
namespace Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\User;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class EloquentUserAdapter implements UserInterface
{
/**
* #var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
protected $user;
/**
* Create a new User instance
*
* #param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $user
*/
public function __construct(Model $user)
{
$this->user = $user;
}
/**
* Get the user by the given key, value
*
* #param mixed $key
* #param mixed $value
* #return Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
public function getBy($key, $value)
{
return $this->user->where($key, $value)->first();
}
}
My problem here is that this adapter only use Eloquent model injection. I am using Doctrine models. So my questions are:
Is possible to change this adapter to return new model (my doctrine
model). I asking because I am new in PHP and Laravel and I saw that
EloquentUserAdapter is used in other places in the vendor.
If I create a new Adapter I think that I have to return a Eloquent
model, so how do I can redefine only the model and reuse the other
classes and methods of the vendor?
Any clue?

Yes, you can:
use App\Entities\User;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\User\UserInterface;
class DoctrineUserAdapter implements UserInterface
{
protected $em;
public function __construct(User $user, EntityManagerInterface $em)
{
$this->em = $em;
}
public function getBy($key, $value)
{
return $this->em->find('App\Entities\User', $value);
}
}
You can inject EntityManagerInterface object as a second parameter, first parameter is a User model type from 'providers.user' in jwt.php configuration, why? Look at the code in JWTAuthServiceProvider.php:
/**
* Register the bindings for the User provider.
*/
protected function registerUserProvider()
{
$this->app['tymon.jwt.provider.user'] = $this->app->share(function ($app) {
return $app->make($this->config('providers.user'), [$app->make($this->config('user'))]);
});
}
My simple user model:
use DOctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* Users *
* #ORM\Table(name="users")
* #ORM\Entity
*/
class User implements \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable
{
use \LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Auth\Authenticatable;
/**
*
* #var integer *
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
*/
public $id;
}
You can do this in version 1.0.0. More about problem: https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth/issues/343
