repository method not exposed to the User facade per docs for making custom user repository

[jimmypuckett]

On a fresh install on an existing Laravel 6 app, we are trying to make a custom user repository per the docs here...

https://statamic.dev/knowledge-base/storing-users-somewhere-custom

which says "In a service provider, use the Statamic\API\User::repository() method to define a custom repository driver:", but the code block has...

Statamic\Facades\User::repository('custom', function ($app, $config) {
    return new CustomUserRepository;
});

I do not see a Statamic\API\User class, and the abstract class Statamic\Contracts\Auth\UserRepository for the Statamic\Facades\User facade does not have a repository method defined.

The only place that I see a method called repository is in Statamic\Auth\UserRepositoryManager, which appears to be a getter for the repository, not a setter.

In our app, we use spatie/laravel-permission, and were planning on making a custom driver to leverage the roles & permissions already in the system, so we were planning on building a driver.

Anyhow, I cannot tell if this is an issue with the docs, the code or the user?

Thanks!

@damcclean you've done this recently right? Is this still an issue?

Looks like it's still an issue. It should be what the documentation says, but you can get around it until then by targeting the UserRepositoryManager.

app(\Statamic\Auth\UserRepositoryManager::class)->extend('custom', function ($app, $config) {
    return new CustomUserRepository;
});

This issue has not had recent activity and has been marked as stale — by me, a robot. Simply reply to keep it open and send me away. If you do nothing, I will close it in a week. I have no feelings, so whatever you do is fine by me.

@jasonvarga This is still incorrectly documented. Is there a way we can do this via Facades now?

Thanks for the nudge, I updated the docs.
