使用FOSUserBundle注册并登录不同类型的用户

Question

I want to use FOSUserBundle for signing up and login of my users. In my case I have 4 types of users (each one have different fields ): students, professors, administrator and Staff.

I have seen the documentation and from what I have seen is that I should have one class called User that extend BaseUser:

class User extends BaseUser
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // your own logic
    }

I couldn't understand how to represent my for classes with one class User?

Thank you

Answer 1

Just use User as a parent Entity, and make other Entities professor, student, etc relate to that entity, most likely one to one relations as described here.

Entity relations are easy to set up with php bin/console make-entity Professor, you can define relation as a type there.
