I have followed all the step in http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/authentication to make the social login with facebook on Laravel 5.1.
Here the steps that I've followed:
1 - Use the command in my Laravel root project:
composer require laravel/socialite
2 - register the Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider in your config/app.php configuration file:
'providers' => [
// Other service providers...
Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],
3 - Add the Socialite facade to the aliases array in your app configuration file:
'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
4 - add the facebook services in config/services.php:
'facebook' => [
'client_id' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID'),
'client_secret' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'redirect' => 'http://homestead.app/auth/facebook/callback',
],
5 - add to my AuthController.php the methods redirectToProvider() and handleProviderCallback():
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ThrottlesLogins;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers;
use Socialite;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Registration & Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users, as well as the
| authentication of existing users. By default, this controller uses
| a simple trait to add these behaviors. Why don't you explore it?
|
*/
use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
/**
* Redirect path after successful login
*
* @var string
*/
protected $redirectPath = '/greeting';
/**
* Redirect path after failed login
*
* @var string
*/
protected $loginPath = '/auth/login';
/**
* Create a new authentication controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'getLogout']);
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* @param array $data
* @return User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
]);
}
/**
* Redirect the user to the Facebook authentication page.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function redirectToProvider()
{
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
}
/**
* Obtain the user information from Facebook.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function handleProviderCallback()
{
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
dd($user);
}
}
I want to highlight that I have created AuthController.php in the folder app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ because after it asks to create the routes: 'Auth\AuthController@redirectToProvider' 'Auth\AuthController@handleProviderCallback'
6 - I've added the routes:
Route::get('auth/facebook', 'Auth\AuthController@redirectToProvider');
Route::get('auth/facebook/callback', 'Auth\AuthController@handleProviderCallback');
Now, when I click "Login with facebook" in my login page it goes to http://homestead.app/auth/facebook and get me the following error:
FatalErrorException in AuthController.php line 90: Class 'Socialite' not found
I have tried to follow the codeanchor guide but it is for laravel 5.0 (I need to use that on laravel 5.1)
