How to handle multiple user types
Hi everyone, I'm just curious how everyone else out there handles different user types when they have different data associated with them? I have a system that has guests, members and hosts. Each user type has many different fields associated with them. Currently I handle it by having a main user table that has the common data (email, username, password) and also has a role field which stores what type of user they are. I then link my user table to the other tables using the $hasOne. In each of my other tables (guest, member, host) I have all the particular data associated with that member type. While I originally felt this was the best way to handle this, I feel like it's getting messy. Of course, I couldn't hold all those different field types in one users table. I kept the user table as it allows for easy integration with the Auth component (I know it can get difficult to use Auth with many different tables holding usernames and passwords). Any thoughts?
