Details

bool isEqualTo(UserInterface $user)

The equality comparison should neither be done by referential equality nor by comparing identities (i.e. getId() === getId()).

However, you do not need to compare every attribute, but only those that are relevant for assessing whether re-authentication is required.

Also implementation should consider that $user instance may implement the extended user interface AdvancedUserInterface.

Parameters

UserInterface $user

Return Value

bool
