interface UserProviderInterface
Represents a class that loads UserInterface objects from some source for the authentication system.
In a typical authentication configuration, a username (i.e. some unique user identifier) credential enters the system (via form login, or any method). The user provider that is configured with that authentication method is asked to load the UserInterface object for the given username (via loadUserByUsername) so that the rest of the process can continue.
Internally, a user provider can load users from any source (databases, configuration, web service). This is totally independent of how the authentication information is submitted or what the UserInterface object looks like.
| UserInterface | loadUserByUsername(string $username) Loads the user for the given username. | |
| UserInterface | refreshUser(UserInterface $user) Refreshes the user. | |
| bool | supportsClass(string $class) Whether this provider supports the given user class. |
Loads the user for the given username.
This method must throw UsernameNotFoundException if the user is not found.
| string | $username | The username |
| UserInterface |
| UsernameNotFoundException | if the user is not found |
Refreshes the user.
It is up to the implementation to decide if the user data should be totally reloaded (e.g. from the database), or if the UserInterface object can just be merged into some internal array of users / identity map.
| UserInterface | $user |
| UserInterface |
| UnsupportedUserException | if the user is not supported |
| UsernameNotFoundException | if the user is not found |
Whether this provider supports the given user class.
| string | $class |
| bool |
