Class 'App\Eloquent' not found in laravel after running php artisan db:seed

Question

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;

class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface 
{

}

Answer 1

Your model should extend the Model class:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model

If you want to use Laravel authentication system, it should extend Illuminate\\Foundation\\Auth\\User :

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
