Extending User model

[Jonston]

I have following structure of Users.Student extends User and Teacher extends User.Those models has relevant roles (student, teacher).How can i take Student instance of Auth::user() if student is logged in?

You can add more providers on config/auth.php, also you can use multiple guards on the same file

@erikn69 By role name.

I think you mixed things up a bit, you forgot the extending, you left it pointless which was the question

@erikn69
I need the Auth::user() method to return the appropriate instance depending on what role the user has. If the role is a student, then new Student, if the role is a teacher, then new Teacher

@erikn69 The issue is that students and teachers have different model relations. Students have assignments. Teachers have students, classromms, and so on.
