Eloquent OAuth

Use the Laravel 4 wrapper for easy integration with Laravel 4.

Use the Laravel 5 wrapper for easy integration with Laravel 5.

Eloquent OAuth is a package for Laravel designed to make authentication against various OAuth providers ridiculously brain-dead simple. Specify your client IDs and secrets in a config file, run a migration and after that it's just two method calls and you have OAuth integration.

Video Walkthrough

Basic example

// Redirect to Facebook for authorization
Route::get('facebook/authorize', function() {
    return OAuth::authorize('facebook');
});

// Facebook redirects here after authorization
Route::get('facebook/login', function() {
    
    // Automatically log in existing users
    // or create a new user if necessary.
    OAuth::login('facebook');

    // Current user is now available via Auth facade
    $user = Auth::user();

    return Redirect::intended();
});

Installation

Check the appropriate wrapper package for installation instructions for your version of Laravel.

Usage

Authentication against an OAuth provider is a multi-step process, but I have tried to simplify it as much as possible.

Authorizing with the provider

First you will need to define the authorization route. This is the route that your "Login" button will point to, and this route redirects the user to the provider's domain to authorize your app. After authorization, the provider will redirect the user back to your second route, which handles the rest of the authentication process.

To authorize the user, simply return the OAuth::authorize() method directly from the route.

Route::get('facebook/authorize', function() {
    return OAuth::authorize('facebook');
});

Authenticating within your app

Next you need to define a route for authenticating against your app with the details returned by the provider.

For basic cases, you can simply call OAuth::login() with the provider name you are authenticating with. If the user rejected your application, this method will throw an ApplicationRejectedException which you can catch and handle as necessary.

The login method will create a new user if necessary, or update an existing user if they have already used your application before.

Once the login method succeeds, the user will be authenticated and available via Auth::user() just like if they had logged in through your application normally.

use SocialNorm\Exceptions\ApplicationRejectedException;
use SocialNorm\Exceptions\InvalidAuthorizationCodeException;

Route::get('facebook/login', function() {
    try {
        OAuth::login('facebook');
    } catch (ApplicationRejectedException $e) {
        // User rejected application
    } catch (InvalidAuthorizationCodeException $e) {
        // Authorization was attempted with invalid
        // code,likely forgery attempt
    }

    // Current user is now available via Auth facade
    $user = Auth::user();

    return Redirect::intended();
});

If you need to do anything with the newly created user, you can pass an optional closure as the second argument to the login method. This closure will receive the $user instance and a SocialNorm\User object that contains basic information from the OAuth provider, including:

id
nickname
full_name
avatar
email
access_token

OAuth::login('facebook', function($user, $details) {
    $user->nickname = $details->nickname;
    $user->name = $details->full_name;
    $user->profile_image = $details->avatar;
    $user->save();
});

Note: The Instagram and Soundcloud APIs do not allow you to retrieve the user's email address, so unfortunately that field will always be null for those provider.

Advanced: Storing additional data

Remember: One of the goals of the Eloquent OAuth package is to normalize the data received across all supported providers, so that you can count on those specific data items (explained above) being available in the $details object.

But, each provider offers its own sets of additional data. If you need to access or store additional data beyond the basics of what Eloquent OAuth's default ProviderUserDetails object supplies, you need to do two things:

Request it from the provider, by extending its scope:

Say for example we want to collect the user's gender when they login using Facebook.

In the config/eloquent-oauth.php file, set the [scope] in the facebook provider section to include the public_profile scope, like this:
```
   'scope' => ['email', 'public_profile'],
```

For available scopes with each provider, consult that provider's API documentation.

NOTE: By increasing the scope you will be asking the user to grant access to additional information. They will be informed of the scopes you're requesting. If you ask for too much unnecessary data, they may refuse. So exercise restraint when requesting additional scopes.

Now where you do your OAuth::login, store the to your $user object by accessing the $details->raw()['KEY'] data:

       OAuth::login('facebook', function($user, $details) (
           $user->gender = $details->raw()['gender']; // Or whatever the key is
           $user->save();
       });

TIP: You can see what the available keys are by testing with dd($details->raw()); inside that same closure.
