Possible to use User object functions?

[glaesser]

Before integrating Auth0 into my app, I was able to call

Auth::user()->someFunction();

someFunction() was defined as a public function in my App\User.php. After integrating Auth0, I am no longer able to call these functions:

Call to undefined method Auth0\Login\Auth0User::someFunction()

My question is, what is the best way to still utilize these user model functions? I am using customUserRepository.php as outlined in the laravel quickstart guide.

Perhaps a better way to phrase my question is, how can I continue to use the eloquent user driver (providing access to various App\User.php functionality) while still performing login/logout using Auth0? I don't see anything related to this in the quickstart docs.

@glaesser - Thanks for the report here! I'll take a look at this as soon as I can next week.

Just an update here that I've essentially solved this drawback by replacing all my app calls of Auth::user() with a custom function User::current() whenever I want to interact with the currently logged in user eloquent object:

...in App\User.php:

//return the currently logged-in user
public static function current() {
        if(Auth::check()) {
            return User::find(Auth::user()->id);
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    })

There are a few very minor drawbacks as inside blade templates you now have to reference App\User::current() instead of just Auth::user(), but for the most part it's completely solved the issue. Feel free to close this.

Thanks for the update here, @glaesser. I'll make a note to see how this works now and if we can improve what we're doing here. We definitely don't want to clobber any existing functionality.

I'm having this issue.
I have isAdmin method in User.php and now my Laravel app is squawking "Call to undefined method Auth0\Login\Auth0User::isAdmin()"

This is serious issue tho for me
