Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require draliragab/socialize

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="socialize-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'facebook' => [
        'default' => [
            'app_id' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
            'graph_version' => env('FACEBOOK_GRAPH_VERSION', 'v15.0'),
            'page_id' => env('FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID'),
            'page_access_token' => env('FACEBOOK_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN'),
        ],
    ],

    'instagram' => [
        'default' => [
            'graph_version' => env('INSTAGRAM_GRAPH_VERSION', 'v15.0'),
            'user_access_token' => env('INSTAGRAM_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN'),

    ],

    'model_columns' => [
        'message_column' => 'title',
        'photo_column' => 'image',
    ],
];

Configuration

For each social media you need to add the required credentials to your .env file or directly to the published config file.

By default, the package will use the default configuration. But you can publish to multiple pages and accounts by adding more configurations.

return [
    'facebook' => [
        'default' => [
            'app_id' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
            'graph_version' => env('FACEBOOK_GRAPH_VERSION', 'v15.0'),
            'page_id' => env('FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID'),
            'page_access_token' => env('FACEBOOK_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN'),
        ],

        'page_2' => [
            'app_id' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID_2'),
            'graph_version' => env('FACEBOOK_GRAPH_VERSION', 'v15.0'),
            'page_id' => env('FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID_2'),
            'page_access_token' => env('FACEBOOK_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN_2'),
        ],
    ],
];

$fb = Socialize::facebook('page_2');
