Using Laravel Socialite to Login to Facebook

Using Laravel Socialite to login to facebook

In your composer.json add- "laravel/socialite": "~2.0",

"require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.0.*",
        "laravel/socialite": "~2.0",

the run composer update

In config/services.php add:

//Socialite
    'facebook' => [
        'client_id'     => '1234567890444',
        'client_secret' => '1aa2af333336fffvvvffffvff',
        'redirect'      => 'http://laravel.dev/login/callback/facebook',
    ],

You need to create two routes, mine are like these:

//Social Login
Route::get('/login/{provider?}',[
    'uses' => 'AuthController@getSocialAuth',
    'as'   => 'auth.getSocialAuth'
]);

Route::get('/login/callback/{provider?}',[
    'uses' => 'AuthController@getSocialAuthCallback',
    'as'   => 'auth.getSocialAuthCallback'
]);

You also need to create controller for the routes above like so:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

 use Laravel\Socialite\Contracts\Factory as Socialite;

 class AuthController extends Controller
 {

       public function __construct(Socialite $socialite){
           $this->socialite = $socialite;
       }

       public function getSocialAuth($provider=null)
       {
           if(!config("services.$provider")) abort('404'); //just to handle providers that doesn't exist

           return $this->socialite->with($provider)->redirect();
       }

       public function getSocialAuthCallback($provider=null)
       {
          if($user = $this->socialite->with($provider)->user()){
             dd($user);
          }else{
             return 'something went wrong';
          }
       }

 }

and finally add Site URL to your Facebook App like so:

laravel Socialite facebook login

Hi you are missing to give credentials of social media put that in config/services.php

'facebook' => [
        'client_id' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID'),
        'client_secret' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET'),
        'redirect' => env('CALLBACK_URL_FACEBOOK'),
    ]

And run the following commands :

php artisan clear-compiled 
composer dump-autoload
php artisan optimize
