Laravel Socialite Providers

1. Installation

2. Service Provider

• Remove Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider from your providers[] array in config\app.php if you have added it already.

• Add \SocialiteProviders\Manager\ServiceProvider::class to your providers[] array in config\app.php.

For example:

• Note: If you would like to use the Socialite Facade, you need to install it.

3. Event Listener

• Add SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled event to your listen[] array in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.

• Add your listeners (i.e. the ones from the providers) to the SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled[] that you just created.

• The listener that you add for this provider is 'LaravelFans\\SocialiteProviders\\Coding\\CodingExtendSocialite@handle',.

• Note: You do not need to add anything for the built-in socialite providers unless you override them with your own providers.

For example:

Reference

• Laravel docs about events
• Laracasts video on events in Laravel 5

4. Configuration setup

You will need to add an entry to the services configuration file so that after config files are cached for usage in production environment (Laravel command artisan config:cache) all config is still available.

Add to config/services.php.

5. Usage

• Laravel docs on configuration

• You should now be able to use it like you would regularly use Socialite (assuming you have the facade installed):

Lumen Support

You can use Socialite providers with Lumen. Just make sure that you have facade support turned on and that you follow the setup directions properly.

Note: If you are using this with Lumen, all providers will automatically be stateless since Lumen does not keep track of state.

Also, configs cannot be parsed from the services[] in Lumen. You can only set the values in the .env file as shown exactly in this document. If needed, you can also override a config (shown below).

Stateless

• You can set whether or not you want to use the provider as stateless. Remember that the OAuth provider (Twitter, Tumblr, etc) must support whatever option you choose.

Note: If you are using this with Lumen, all providers will automatically be stateless since Lumen does not keep track of state.

Overriding a config

If you need to override the providers environment or config variables dynamically anywhere in your application, you may use the following:

Retrieving the Access Token Response Body

Laravel Socialite by default only allows access to the access_token. Which can be accessed via the \Laravel\Socialite\User->token public property. Sometimes you need access to the whole response body which may contain items such as a refresh_token.

You can get the access token response body, after you called the user() method in Socialite, by accessing the property $user->accessTokenResponseBody;
