Multiple Users

To create specific users with their own information, you can create a separate model for each type of user (e.g. Collage, Teacher, Student) and use inheritance to extend the base User model.

Here's an example:

1. Create a new migration for each user type to add any additional fields you need:

php artisan make:migration add_collage_fields_to_users_table --table=users
php artisan make:migration add_teacher_fields_to_users_table --table=users
php artisan make:migration add_student_fields_to_users_table --table=users

1. Update each migration to add the necessary fields:

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('collage_field')->nullable();
});

1. Create a new model for each user type that extends the base User model:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Collage extends User
{
    // add any additional fields or methods here
}

class Teacher extends User
{
    // add any additional fields or methods here
}

class Student extends User
{
    // add any additional fields or methods here
}

1. Update the User model to use the Spatie/Permission package:

use Spatie\Permission\Traits\HasRoles;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasRoles;

    // add any additional fields or methods here
}

1. Use the appropriate model for each type of user in your application:

// create a new Collage user
$collage = new Collage;
$collage->name = 'John Doe';
$collage->email = '[email protected]';
$collage->password = bcrypt('password');
$collage->collage_field = 'some value';
$collage->save();

// create a new Teacher user
$teacher = new Teacher;
$teacher->name = 'Jane Smith';
$teacher->email = '[email protected]';
$teacher->password = bcrypt('password');
$teacher->save();

// create a new Student user
$student = new Student;
$student->name = 'Bob Johnson';
$student->email = '[email protected]';
$student->password = bcrypt('password');
$student->save();

This way, you can have specific fields for each type of user, while still using the Spatie/Permission package for roles and permissions.
