laravel - Eloquent Model has parent model -

i have model called user stuff name, country , relationships.

now want model, e.g. vendor, having same functions , variables user including more stuff

i thought was:

class user extends model implements authenticatablecontract {      use authenticatable; softdeletes;      protected $dates = ['deleted_at', 'last_login'];      protected $fillable = [         'name',         'password',         'country',     ];      protected $hidden = ['password'];      public function logs()     {         return $this->hasmany('app\log');     } } 

and vendor model:

class vendor extends user {     protected $fillable = [         'description'     ];      public function user() {         return $this->belongsto('app\user');     }      public function products()     {         return $this->hasmany('app\product', 'vendor_id');     } 

the controller checks role of user , loads user model or vendor model:

if(auth::user()->role > 1)     $user = vendor::where('user_id', auth::user()->id)->first(); else     $user = auth::user(); return $user->load('logs'); 

but load call fails vendor. able join fields of user inside vendor need functions of it.

the problem logs function checks field doesn't exists. using functions works:

public function logs() {     return $this->hasmany('app\log', 'user_id', get_called_class() !== get_class() ? 'user_id' : 'id'); }
