Auth guard "user_id"

[backspacerhino]

Hi,

When I use

const token = await auth.use('someguard').generate(account, {
  expiresIn: '10 days',
})

I get error for my account_api_tokens that has "account_id" but generate() is trying to insert "user_id"

Is there a way for me to specify the foreign key name instead of default "user_id"

Any reasons for a using a different foreign key name? The user_id is required to know for which user the token is generated

There are two different entities in my application, users and accounts. There are also a specific hardware products that can authenticate to server. It would be misleading to call accounts or hardware products users when there is also an entity "User".

That makes perfect sense. Lemme add it to the config

Thank you very much

In adonis v5, just change the settings in 'config/auth.ts'

import Account from 'App/Models/Account'
import { AuthConfig } from '@ioc:Adonis/Addons/Auth'

const authConfig: AuthConfig = {
  guard: 'api',
  list: {
    api: {
      driver: 'oat',
      tokenProvider: {
        driver: 'database',
        table: 'api_tokens',
      },

      provider: {
        driver: 'lucid',

        identifierKey: 'id',

        uids: ['id'],

        model: Account,
      },
    },
  },
}
