Laravel Google Authentication Driver

Allows you to use Google to authenticate users of your Laravel application.

Installation

To get the latest version of cachebuster simply require it in your composer.json file.

Note: This package depends on a non-packagist package, google-api-php-client, so you will need to manually add the following repository definition to your project's composer.json file before attempting to run composer update or composer install:

	"repositories": [
		{
      "type": "package",
      "package": {
        "name": "google/google-api-php-client",
        "version": "0.6.7",
        "dist": {
          "url": "http://google-api-php-client.googlecode.com/files/google-api-php-client-0.6.7.tar.gz",
          "type": "tar"
        },
        "autoload": {
          "classmap": ["src/"]
        }
      }
		}
	],

composer require themonkeys/laravel-google-auth:dev-master --no-update
composer update themonkeys/laravel-google-auth

Once the package is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up app/config/app.php and find the providers key.

Delete the line for the AuthServiceProvider:

'providers' => array(
		'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
)

and replace it with:

'providers' => array(
    'Themonkeys\LaravelGoogleAuth\LaravelGoogleAuthServiceProvider',
)

To configure the package, you can use the following command to copy the configuration file to app/config/packages/themonkeys/laravel-google-auth.

php artisan config:publish themonkeys/laravel-google-auth

Or you can just create a new file in that folder and only override the settings you need.

The settings themselves are documented inside config.php.

To make your configuration apply only to a particular environment, put your configuration in an environment folder such as app/config/packages/themonkeys/laravel-google-auth/environment-name/config.php.

Usage

To enable Google-based authentication for your app, you first need to select the 'google' authentication driver. Open up app/config/auth.php and edit the driver key:

return array(
	'driver' => 'google',
);

For Google authentication, you need to add a Login page to your app which contains a link for the user to click on that will initiate the authentication process. The simplest way of doing that is to add the following to your routes.php file:

Route::get('/login', function() {
    return View::make('login', array(
      'authUrl' => Auth::getAuthUrl()
    ));
});

Note: the getAuthUrl() is not present in other authentication drivers, so the above code will throw an error with other drivers.

Then use {{ $authUrl }} as the href for a link in your login.blade.php view:

<a class='login' href='{{ $authUrl }}'>Connect Me!</a>

Then you need to add the 'before' filter 'google-finish-authentication' to the route that google redirects to after authentication is complete. Make sure this filter is applied first, before the 'auth' filter - otherwise the 'auth' filter will send the user back to the login page and their session will be lost.

Route::group(array('before' => array('google-finish-authentication', 'auth')), function() {
    Route::get('/', 'HomeController@showWelcome');
});

Adding a logout facility to your app is the same as with any other authentication driver - just add the following to your routes.php, then add a link to the URI /logout wherever you need it:

Route::get('/logout', function() {
    Auth::logout();
    return Redirect::to('/');
});

All information available in the Google_Userinfo object is available via the user object returned from Auth::user(), for example Auth::user()->name:

    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>Your ID:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->id }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Your Full Name:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->name }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Your Given Name:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->given_name }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Your Family Name:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->family_name }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Your Email Address:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->email }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td></td>
            <td>Your Email Address has
                @if (Auth::user()->verified_email)
                been <strong>verified</strong>
                @else
                <strong>not</strong> been verified
                @endif
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Your hosted domain:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->hd }}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Your Locale:</th><td>{{ Auth::user()->locale }}</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
