Hello,

I want to have rows which are based on a user, so for example if I do a find I would see MY rows, if Bob did he would see HIS rows.

Now the way I have been doing this is a combo of

->where('to_user_id', Sentinel::getUser()->id);

But I am not a fan of requiring Sentinel in my Repository and it requires doing some weird construct stuff in my Repository to accommodate testing.

Basically

public function __construct(Model $model, $userid) {
    if (empty($userid) { // Do something using sentinel to get the current user id
    } else { // Set the user id to what is passed
    }
}

So that I can use a different user id in my repository while testing.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how I could make this a bit easier to manage and test with and remove my dependency on Sentinel (or what ever user system) in my repository?
