Sentry2 user model extension - laravel

Question

I'm using Sentry2 package in my laravel 4 application (http://docs.cartalyst.com/sentry-2/).
I create a new User model that extends Sentry2 User Model:
<?php namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class User extends \Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $table = 'users';
/**
* The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = array('password');
/**
* Get the unique identifier for the user.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function getAuthIdentifier()
{
return $this->getKey();
}
/**
* Get the password for the user.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->password;
}
/**
* Get the e-mail address where password reminders are sent.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getReminderEmail()
{
return $this->email;
}
}
when I execute the follow code I have a exception.
$adminUser = User::create(array(
'email' => 'admin#admin.com',
'password' => "admin",
'first_name' => 'Admin',
'last_name' => 'Admin',
'activated' => 1,
));
Error:
[RuntimeException]
A hasher has not been provided for the user.

Answer 1

If you want to create your object from Eloquent mass alignment you can add the Hasher manually Like that :
$user->setHasher(new Cartalyst\Sentry\Hashing\NativeHasher);
Or to be permanent you can add a "boot" method to your User object like this :
class User extends \Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
// ...
public static function boot()
{
self::$hasher = new Cartalyst\Sentry\Hashing\NativeHasher;
}
// ...
}

Answer 2

I need to update the config file of sentry package:
'users' => array(
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Model
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| When using the "eloquent" driver, we need to know which
| Eloquent models should be used throughout Sentry.
|
*/
'model' => '\App\Models\User',
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Login Attribute
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| If you're the "eloquent" driver and extending the base Eloquent model,
| we allow you to globally override the login attribute without even
| subclassing the model, simply by specifying the attribute below.
|
*/
'login_attribute' => 'email',
),
and use Sentry::getUserProvider()->create() method
$adminUser = Sentry::getUserProvider()->create(
array(
'email' => 'admin#admin.com',
'password' => "admin",
'first_name' => 'Admin',
'last_name' => 'Admin',
'activated' => 1,
)
);

Answer 3

what it tell you is you have to hash and salt your password
so
$adminUser = User::create(array(
'email' => 'admin#admin.com',
'password' => Hash::make('admin'),
'first_name' => 'Admin',
'last_name' => 'Admin',
'activated' => 1,
));

Answer 4

I extended the Sentry User Model like you and the same error is returned, then i find an idea in https://github.com/cartalyst/sentry/issues/163 and then tried passing a new instance of NativeHasher; i'm not sure if this is the correct way, but in the first test the user was saved correctly:
$user = new User;
$user->setHasher(new Cartalyst\Sentry\Hashing\NativeHasher);
$user->first_name = "Name";
$user->last_name = "Last";
$user->password = 'admin';
$user->email = "email#gmail.com";
$user->save();
