Syncing attributes to another table

[ghost]

Good Day,

I just wanted to know if it is possible to sync user details to another table other than users. For example, if one is implementing polymorphic relations and uses the users table and thus the User model, to only store details necessary for authentication e.g email, username etc. How would one then sync e.g the name,office number etc., to a child model?

Kind Regards.

Hi @Mylo-92, good question!

So for example, if you had a user_details one to one relationship, the easiest way would be to use the bind_user_to_model option and set it to true. Then after authentication, you could grab the details and save them to the relationship model.

For example:

// Auth/AuthController.php
public function authenticated(Request $request, User $user)
{
    $user->details()->firstOrCreate([
        'office_number' => $user->adldapUser->getTelephoneNumber();
    ]);
}

Another option, is to override one of the trait methods such as syncModelFromAdldap(), since you'll have both the laravel model and the LDAP user model in the same method to perform synchronization.

Though this should be easier, so I'll add an easily override-able method to allow this and will comment back when it's been implemented.
