In this article, we will see laravel 8 socialite login with a GitHub account. how to integrate OAuth github login in the laravel 8. As you all know currently many website provides diffrents type of login authentication facilities to user like facebook login, login with google account, login with gmail etc.

Here I will give you example of Laravel Socialite - login with a GitHub account. here I have used laravel 8 jetstream authentication for laravel 8 github social login example.

So, let's see login with GitHub in laravel 8 and socialite login in laravel 8 GitHub.

 

In this step, we will install laravel 8 for this socialite login with github account.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-8-login-with-github-example

 

 

Now, configure database connection in .env file

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_8_github_example
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

 

Laravel Jetstream is authentication scaffolding crafted with Tailwind CSS and allows you to build auth templates with Livewire or Inertia JS.

It gives you pre-defined login, registration, email verification, two-factor authentication, session management, API support templates.

So, run the below command for installing jetstream in laravel 8.

composer require laravel/jetstream

Now, we need to install livewire using below artisan command and also we need basic authentication like login and registration otherwise you can install using auth command.

php artisan jetstream:install livewire

Now, install npm and run package.

npm install
npm run dev

Now, we will create database using migration command.

php artisan migrate

 

 

 Now, we will install socialite package.

composer require laravel/socialite

In the config/app.php file then add socialite services in providers, as well as aliases arrays:

'providers' => [
    ...
    ...
    Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
    ...
    ...
    'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
],

 

In this step, we have to add the new value inside the user's table and use the below command to create a new migration file.

php artisan make:migration add_github_id_field

Edit add_github_id_field.php file and update below code in that file.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AddGithubIdField extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->string('github_id')->nullable();
            $table->string('auth_type')->nullable();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->dropColumn('github_id');
           $table->dropColumn('auth_type');
         });
    }
}

 

 

Now, we have to register the newly created migration file’s value inside the User model file. In the app/Models/User.php file and update the values.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Fortify\TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
use Laravel\Jetstream\HasProfilePhoto;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens;
    use HasFactory;
    use HasProfilePhoto;
    use Notifiable;
    use TwoFactorAuthenticatable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var string[]
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'github_id',
        'auth_type',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
        'two_factor_recovery_codes',
        'two_factor_secret',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    /**
     * The accessors to append to the model's array form.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $appends = [
        'profile_photo_url',
    ];
}

Now, new table values have been added, run migration and update the database tables.

php artisan migrate

 

 

You must have a Github account for perform laravel 8 login with github account. After create github account visit the GitHub developers account to get the Github client id and secret key. You need to create a new OAuth Apps. So, Register a new application button. fill in the required information to register a new OAuth app.

Once the app is registered successfully, then you can get the Client ID and Secret Key.

 

In this step, we will configure github client id, secret key and redirection callback URL in config/services.php file.

'github' => [
        'client_id' => 'xxxx',
        'client_secret' => 'xxxx',
        'redirect' => 'http://localhost:8000/auth/github/callback',
    ],

 

Update the below code in your created GitHubController file.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use Socialite;
use App\Models\User;

class GitHubController extends Controller
{
    public function gitHubLogin()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect();
    }
       

    public function gitHubCallback()
    {
        try {
     
            $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();
      
            $searchUser = User::where('github_id', $user->id)->first();
      
            if($searchUser){
      
                Auth::login($searchUser);
     
                return redirect('/dashboard');
      
            }else{
                $gitUser = User::create([
                    'name' => $user->name,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'github_id'=> $user->id,
                    'auth_type'=> 'github',
                    'password' => encrypt('git12345')
                ]);
     
                Auth::login($gitUser);
      
                return redirect('/dashboard');
            }
     
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

 

 

Add the following code in routes/web.php file.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\GitHubController;

Route::get('auth/github', [GitHubController::class, 'gitHubLogin']);
Route::get('auth/github/callback', [GitHubController::class, 'gitHubCallback']);

 

 Now, add the below code in resources/views/auth/login.blade.php.

<x-guest-layout>
    <x-jet-authentication-card>
        <x-slot name="logo">
            <x-jet-authentication-card-logo />
        </x-slot>

        <x-jet-validation-errors class="mb-4" />

        @if (session('status'))
            <div class="mb-4 font-medium text-sm text-green-600">
                {{ session('status') }}
            </div>
        @endif

        <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
            @csrf

            <div>
                <x-jet-label for="email" value="{{ __('Email') }}" />

            </div>

            <div class="mt-4">
                <x-jet-label for="password" value="{{ __('Password') }}" />
                <x-jet-input id="password" class="block mt-1 w-full" type="password" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password" />
            </div>

            <div class="block mt-4">
                <label for="remember_me" class="flex items-center">
                    <x-jet-checkbox id="remember_me" name="remember" />
                    <span class="ml-2 text-sm text-gray-600">{{ __('Remember me') }}</span>
                </label>
            </div>

            <div class="flex items-center justify-end mt-4">
                @if (Route::has('password.request'))
                    <a class="underline text-sm text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
                        {{ __('Forgot your password?') }}
                    </a>
                @endif

                <x-jet-button class="ml-4">
                    {{ __('Log in') }}
                </x-jet-button>
            </div>
             
            <div class="flex items-center justify-end mt-4">                
                <a class="btn" href="{{ url('auth/github') }}"
                    style="color: #ffffff; background: #24292f; padding: 10px; width: 100%; text-align: center; display: block; border-radius:3px;">
                    Login with GitHub
                </a>
            </div>
        </form>
    </x-jet-authentication-card>
</x-guest-layout>
