Help searching email in Shield

Can anyone give a code example of finding users by email?
To be honest, I am having a hard time understanding the docs.
I learn better by example.

Thanks

What do you want to do exactly?
"finding users by email" What do you mean by users? Not a user?

If you want to find and get a User object by an email, you can do it with UserModel::findByCredentials().

PHP Code:

$users = auth()->getProvider();
$credentials['email'] = '[email protected]';
$user = $users->findByCredentials($credentials);

Yes, sorry, I did mean just user.
Thanks again for your help

I have successfully implemented Shield for complete user management, I have an admin back-end for adding users, banning, change passwords etc. If I understand your question correctly, you want to search users by email, I have this code on my admin back-end for searching users using: username, first_name, last_name, mobile_number and email (secret) and this code worked for me, you can adapt it to your own environment by deleting the extra fields:

PHP Code:

$search_string = '[email protected]';
$UserModel = new \App\Models\UserModel();
$users= $UserModel->select('users.*,secret')
->join('auth_identities', 'users.id = auth_identities.user_id')
->groupStart()
->like('username', $search_string)
->orLike('first_name', $search_string)
->orLike('last_name', $search_string)
->orLike('mobile_number', $search_string)                                    
->orLike('secret', $search_string)
->groupEnd()
->where('users.deleted_at IS NULL')
->orderBy('id', 'desc')
->paginate(20);
