How can i use multiple model jwt auth on adonis.js

I have an adonis.js framework with two models (client and user) and using JWT I want to have auth on both models and it doesn't really work

I have tried to specify what authentication to use on each model and how to structure the tokens, users and clients database to support this

// I tried to set the auth.js to support them

client: {
    serializer: 'lucid',
    model: 'App/Models/Client',
    scheme: 'jwt',
    uid: 'email',
    password: 'password',
    options: {
      secret: Env.get('APP_KEY')+'client'
    }
},

//used default jwt for user model

//somewhere inside my auth function below

async clientAuth({request, auth, response}){
    if(await auth.authenticator('client').attempt(email, password)){
        //did some stuffs as the above worked for Client Model
        let client = await Client.findBy('email', email)

        // even if the auth passed, i can't store the token or generate
        //the line below generate error
        auth.generate(client) //says auth.generate is not a function
    }
}

is it possible to use JWT with both the client and user models and have the token function working on both? I have to build my own auth token logic which is really hectic (re-inventing the wheel)

Currently it's not possible to use multiple authentication models.

The best is to add a new field in your User model.

Edit:

It would be possible to configure auth.js to use multiple models:

jwt: {
    serializer: 'lucid',
    model: 'App/Models/UserForum1',
    scheme: 'jwt',
    uid: 'email',
    password: 'password',
    options: {
      secret: `${Env.get('APP_KEY')}-forum1`,
    },
  },
  anotherAuth: {
    serializer: 'lucid',
    model: 'App/Models/UserForum2',
    scheme: 'jwt',
    uid: 'email',
    password: 'password',
    options: {
      secret: `${Env.get('APP_KEY')}-forum2`,
    },
  },

switch authentication :

await auth.authenticator('anotherAuth')

Be careful to implement the new model in the same way as the default (User).
