Why is the loginUsingId function not working in Laravel?

Question

Laravel

Hello! In Laravel, the function in this code does not work:

if(Auth::loginUsingId(3, true)){
                $cookie = cookie('cookie', 'mid=' . $user[0]['original']['id'] .'&hash=' . $request, 10080, '/');
                return Redirect::back()->cookie($cookie);
            }

This error pops up:

BadMethodCallException in Builder.php line 2443: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::getAuthIdentifierName()

Answer 1

It looks like the user class does not implement the contract \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable
