Laravel Socialite package Implementation

It is used to make a communication with social applications. If you want to authenticate your application without login or registration then you need oauth login or oauth registration. Here, I will use laravel-socialite package to implement oauth. It is described step by step as belows:

Step 1: fill your config/services.php file with below credentials, you should take your expected social app's credentials:

<?php

return [

'facebook' => [

'client_id' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID'),

'client_secret' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET'),

'redirect' => env('FACEBOOK_REDIRECT'),

],

'google' => [

'client_id' => env('GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID'),

'client_secret' => env('GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET'),

'redirect' => env('GOOGLE_REDIRECT'),

],

'twitter' => [

'client_id' => env('TWITTER_CLIENT_ID'),

'client_secret' => env('TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET'),

'redirect' => env('TWITTER_REDIRECT'),

],

'linkedin' => [

'client_id' => env('LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID'),

'client_secret' => env('LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET'),

'redirect' => env('LINKEDIN_REDIRECT'),

],

'github' => [

'client_id' => env('GITHUB_CLIENT_ID'),

'client_secret' => env('GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET'),

'redirect' => env('GITHUB_REDIRECT'),

],

]

Step 2: Taking social apps ( facebook, twitter, linkedin etc) client_id, secret_key with redirect url where ( social app will send reply request to your app)

Step 3: making two routes for social app one for sending request and other for accepting reply
 request.

// Social github routes...

Route::get('github', 'Auth\RegisterController@redirectToProvider');

Route::get('github/callback', 'Auth\RegisterController@handleProviderCallback');

// Social facebook routes...

Route::get('facebook', 'Auth\RegisterController@redirectToProvider');

Route::get('facebook/callback', 'Auth\RegisterController@handleProviderCallback');

// Social google routes...

Route::get('google', 'Auth\RegisterController@redirectToProvider');

Route::get('google/callback', 'Auth\RegisterController@handleProviderCallback');

// Social twitter routes...

Route::get('twitter', 'Auth\RegisterController@redirectToProvider');

Route::get('twitter/callback', 'Auth\RegisterController@handleProviderCallback');

// Social linkedin routes...

Route::get('linkedin', 'Auth\RegisterController@redirectToProvider');

Route::get('linkedin/callback', 'Auth\RegisterController@handleProviderCallback');

Step 4: making a controller according to your routes. I have made a controler named RegisterController within this controller making two method named 'redirectToProvider()', 'handleProviderCallback()'.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

// use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

use App\User;

use Socialite;

use Log;

class Register extends Controller

{

public $requestPath;

protected $redirectTo = '/home';

public function __construct(Request $request){

$this->requestPath = $request->path();

$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);

}

public function redirectToProvider(){

Log::info($this->requestPath);

return Socialite::driver($this->requestPath)->redirect();

}

public function handleProviderCallback(Request $request){

$driver = explode('/', $this->requestPath);

$driverName = $driver[0];

$user = Socialite::driver($driverName)->user(); //making an object for retrieving data

$email = $user->getEmail();

if(User::count() == 0){

$insertedData = [

'name' => $user->getName(),

'email' => $email,

'status' => 'Active',

'platform' => $driverName,

'oauth_user_id' => $user->getId(),

'photo' => $user->getAvatar(),

'role' => 'superadmin'

];

}

$id = User::where('email', $email)->pluck('id');

Log::alert($id[0]);

if($id->isEmpty()){

$insertedData = [

'name' => $user->getName(),

'email' => $email,

'status' => 'Active',

'platform' => $driverName,

'oauth_user_id' => $user->getId(),

'photo' => $user->getAvatar(),

];

Auth::login(User::create($insertedData));

return redirect()->intended('/home');

}

Auth::login(User::find($id[0]));

return redirect()->intended('/home');

}

}

Step 5: fill with credentials in .env file:

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=*****************

GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=*****************

GITHUB_REDIRECT=http://local.email.com/github/callback

FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID=*****************

FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET=*****************

FACEBOOK_REDIRECT=https://local.email.com/facebook/callback

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=*****************

GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=*****************

GOOGLE_REDIRECT=http://local.email.com/google/callback

TWITTER_CLIENT_ID=*****************

TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET=*****************

TWITTER_REDIRECT=http://local.email.com/twitter/callback

LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID=*****************

LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET=*****************

LINKEDIN_REDIRECT=http://local.email.com/linkedin/callback

Now execute your code and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
