UserInterface
interface UserInterface
Represents the interface that all user classes must implement.
This interface is useful because the authentication layer can deal with the object through its lifecycle, using the object to get the hashed password (for checking against a submitted password), assigning roles and so on.
Regardless of how your users are loaded or where they come from (a database, configuration, web service, etc.), you will have a class that implements this interface. Objects that implement this interface are created and loaded by different objects that implement UserProviderInterface.
Methods
Returns the roles granted to the user.
Removes sensitive data from the user.
Returns the identifier for this user (e.g. username or email address).
Details
array
getRoles()
Returns the roles granted to the user.
public function getRoles() { return ['ROLE_USER']; }
Alternatively, the roles might be stored in a roles
property,
and populated in any number of different ways when the user object
is created.
