Socialite

Introduction

In addition to typical, form based authentication, Laravel also provides a simple, convenient way to authenticate with OAuth providers using Laravel Socialite. Socialite currently supports authentication via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

Usage

'github' => [
    'client_id' => env('GITHUB_CLIENT_ID'),
    'client_secret' => env('GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET'),
    'redirect' => 'http://example.com/callback-url',
],

use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;

Route::get('/auth/redirect', function () {
    return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect();
});

Route::get('/auth/callback', function () {
    $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();

    // $user->token
});

use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;

Route::get('/auth/callback', function () {
    $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();

    // OAuth 2.0 providers...
    $token = $user->token;
    $refreshToken = $user->refreshToken;
    $expiresIn = $user->expiresIn;

    $user->getId();
    $user->getNickname();
    $user->getName();
    $user->getEmail();
    $user->getAvatar();
});

Source Code

It uses Strategy design pattern, reads configration from Laravel, and creates provider based on the configuration.
