Custom guard

Custom guard
Starting with Voyager 1.2 you can define a (custom) guard which is used throughout Voyager.
To do so, just bind the name of your auth-guard to VoyagerGuard.
First, make sure you have defined a guard as per the Laravel documentation.
After that open your AuthServiceProvider and add the following to the register method:
$this->app->singleton('VoyagerGuard', function () {
    return 'your-custom-guard-name';
});
Now this guard is used instead of the default guard.
Example - using a different model and table for Admins
First you have to create a new table. Let's call it admins:
<?php
Schema::create('admins', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->bigInteger('role_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->string('avatar')->nullable()->default('users/default.png');
    $table->string('password')->nullable();
    $table->string('remember_token')->nullable();
    $table->text('settings')->nullable()->default(null);
    $table->timestamps();
    $table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles');
});
and a model which extends Voyagers user-model:
<?php
​
namespace App;
​
class Admin extends \TCG\Voyager\Models\User
{
​
}
Next, create a guard named admin in your config/auth.php:
'guards' => [
    'admin' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'admins',
    ],
​
    // ...
],
And a user provider called admins:
'providers' => [
    'admins' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Admin::class,
    ],
​
    // ...
],
Next you have to tell Voyager to use your new guard.
Open you AppServiceProvider.php and add the following to the register method:
public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton('VoyagerGuard', function () {
        return 'admin';
    });
}
Please note that the user-bread is still responsible to edit users - not admins.
Create a BREAD for the admins table if you want to change Admins.
