So I am creating an API but it has some caveats.

First off I have to be able to easily create models that DONT use eloquent because we are stuck with a legacy database and it is not always set up to be able to work with eloquent well.

Secondly and most importantly, while I will have base implementations of these models I will need to extend these models somehow to allow for custom client code. So, for example, I may have a base User model but also have a model for one of each of my clients that extend User (or an interface or whatever) and I will need to be able to set a config / binding / anything that will allow me to switch between which client I am currently working on.

I know this all seems very vague so feel free to ask any questions and I will clarify as much as I can.

Back Story: I am developing an app that will be used by multiple clients. Each of these clients will use the same tables but may process the data slightly different than the next client. I may have a calculation for one client that is totally different than the next. I would like to be able to give the client the ability to override any of the models without creating a whole new git repository for each client.
