Laravel 5.5. using authentication and Ardent

Question

I'm having trouble using Ardent package with Laravel authentication.

The problem is that in order to use Laravel authentication I have to extend my User model with Authenticatable (use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;)

But in order to use Ardent, I need to extend my User model with Ardent.

PHP doesn't support multiple inheritance (thank god), so now I am out of ideas on how to solve this?

@Norgul did you read Ardent's documentation?, the Ardent class is a substitute for the Model class — madalinivascu, Nov 28 '17 at 11:39
Because I'd have to extend both `Ardent` and `Authenticable` — Norgul, Nov 28 '17 at 11:39
But did you read what I need? I know Ardent is a Model substitution, but I need `User extends Authenticable` if I'm going to use Laravel authentication — Norgul, Nov 28 '17 at 11:40
Authenticatable is an interface, so you must implement it and not extend it, have a look at the answer. — jeprubio, Nov 28 '17 at 11:56

Authenticatable is an interface. So, you can create User extending Arden and implementing Authenticatable.

You can only extend one class but implement multiple interfaces:

class User extends Arden implements Authenticatable { ... }
