To add a column to the query that auth()->user() returns, you can modify the User model's getAuthPassword method. This method is called when Laravel checks the user's credentials during authentication.
Here's an example of how you can modify the getAuthPassword method to include an additional column in the query:
// app/User.php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
// ...
/**
* Get the password for the user.
*
* @return string
*/
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->getAttribute('password') . $this->getAttribute('additional_column');
}
}
In this example, we're appending the value of the additional_column attribute to the user's password before returning it. You can replace additional_column with the name of the column you want to include in the query.
Note that modifying the getAuthPassword method will affect all authentication attempts in your application, not just those that use auth()->user(). If you only want to modify the query for a specific use case, you may need to modify the query directly instead of using auth()->user().
