Set session user from redis.

This is difficult because the authorization for an action uses the same UserProvider as the rest of the app. It's the EloquentUserProvider

this is used for logging in. etc.

so, when the authorize method is called it uses the same method for looking up the user for a login. select * from users.

i'm guessing you want to keep all the convinces of the EloquentUserProvider except for this cause it's slow.

So your solution is probably to Write your own Custom UserProvider.

it's not that hard, what you need to do is extend the EloquentUserProvider and override the retriveById method()

In this method try redis first, then fall back to the db.

here's step by step https://laravel.io/forum/11-04-2014-laravel-5-how-do-i-create-a-custom-auth-in-laravel-5

Here's what your interested in:

public function retrieveById($identifier)
    {
    if ($user = $this->findUserInRedis($identifier)) {
        return $user;
}

            $model = $this->createModel();

        return $model->newQuery()
            ->where($model->getAuthIdentifierName(), $identifier)
            ->first();  
    }

public function findUserInRedis($identfier) {
    Cache::get()
}

you may also want to override:

public function retrieveByCredentials so you can put the user in the cache when they login. (how else can you look them up in redis

There's a lot more you need to figure out. Like how long are they in redis? How do purge them on logout etc.

Yes, i looked sources and find this method but i thought that this isn't better way

well if you find it let us know cause I'd like to know.
