How can you modify the User class in Laravel to add additional functions or features?

To modify the User class in Laravel to add additional functions or features, you can extend the default User model provided by Laravel and add your custom functions or features. This can be done by creating a new class that extends the User model and then adding your custom methods within that class.

// app/Models/CustomUser.php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class CustomUser extends \App\Models\User
{
    public function customFunction()
    {
        // Add your custom function logic here
    }
}
