use EscolaLms\Courses\Facades\Topic;


class CustomServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    //...

    public function register()
    {
        Topic::registerContentClass(TopicContentCustom::class);
        // or
        Topic::registerContentClasses([TopicContentCustom::class, TopicAnotherContentCustom::class]);

        // also register JSON Resource for a type
        Topic::registerResourceClasses(Audio::class, [
            'client' => ClientAudioResource::class,
            'admin' => AdminAudioResource::class,
