How to login with facebook in laravel
To allow users to login with Facebook in Laravel, you can follow these steps:
Step 1 - Create a Facebook Developer account and create a new Facebook App.
Step 2 - Install the laravel/socialite package using Composer by running the following command in your Laravel project's root directory:
composer require laravel/socialite
Step 3 - In the config/services.php file, add the following configuration for the Facebook provider:
'facebook' => [
'client_id' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID'),
'client_secret' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'redirect' => env('FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI'),
],
Step 4 - In your .env file, add the following environment variables:
FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID=your_facebook_app_id
FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET=your_facebook_app_secret
FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI=your_redirect_uri
Replace your_facebook_app_id, your_facebook_app_secret, and your_redirect_uri with the appropriate values.
Step 5 - In your AuthController or another appropriate controller, add the following method to redirect the user to Facebook for authentication:
use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;
public function redirectToProvider()
{
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
}
Step 6 - Add the following method to your controller to handle the Facebook callback:
public function handleProviderCallback()
{
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
// Do something with the user data (e.g. create a new user, log them in)
return redirect('/home');
}
Step 7- In your routes/web.php file, add the following routes:
Route::get('login/facebook', 'AuthController@redirectToProvider');
Route::get('login/facebook/callback', 'AuthController@handleProviderCallback');
Replace AuthController with the appropriate controller.
That's it! Your users can now login to your Laravel app using their Facebook credentials.
