Laravel 8 Socialite Login with Github Example Tutorial

In this step by step tutorial, you will learn to integrate Github login with your laravel 8 application. Please follow the steps give below:

Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App
Step 2 – Configure Database With App

Step 3 – Configure Github App
Step 4 – Install Socialite & Configure
Step 5 – Add Field In Table Using Migration

Step 6 – Install Jetstream Auth
Step 7 – Make Routes
Step 8 – Create Controller By Command

Step 9 – Implement Github Login In Login Page
Step 10 – Start Development Server

Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel LaravelGithubLogin

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel LaravelGithubLogin

Step 2 – Configure Database With App

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
 DB_PORT=3306 
 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
 DB_USERNAME=here database username here
 DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=here your database name here

DB_USERNAME=here database username here

DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3 – Configure Github App

In this step we will create github App for github social login. Use the link provided to create twitter app.

https://github.com/settings/developers

1	https://github.com/settings/developers

Here you have to click New Auth APP button to Create your app. After this you need to register a new OAuth application page will open. So fill your app detail and submit it, Finally, you will see dashboard of your created github app. Now, copy your github app details.

Now, add GitHub app details into service.php file. Go to config directory and open service.php file. Then add the client id and secret got from github app into service.php file:

 'github' => [
    'client_id' => 'xxxx',
    'client_secret' => 'xxx',
    'redirect' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/callback/github',
  ],

'github' => [

'client_id' => 'xxxx',

'client_secret' => 'xxx',

'redirect' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/callback/github',

Step 4 – Install Socialite & Configure

In this step we will Install Socialite Package via Composer using following command:

composer require laravel/socialite

1	composer require laravel/socialite

After Installing ‘socialite’ package, we need to add service provider and alias in config/app.php file as following.

config/app.php

'providers' => [
     // Other service providers…
 Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
// Other aliases…
'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
],

'providers' => [

// Other service providers…

Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,

'aliases' => [

// Other aliases…

'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,

Step 5 – Add Field In Table Using Migration

In this step we will create migration to add some fields using following command:

php artisan make:migration add_social_login_field

1	php artisan make:migration add_social_login_field

After that, open the add_social_login_field.php file, which is found inside database/migration directory and add the following code into it:

<?php
   
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
    
class AddSoicalLoginField extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->string('social_id')->nullable();
            $table->string('social_type')->nullable();
        });
    }
    
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->dropColumn('social_id');
           $table->dropColumn('social_type');
         });
    }
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class AddSoicalLoginField extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::table('users', function ($table) {

$table->string('social_id')->nullable();

$table->string('social_type')->nullable();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::table('users', function ($table) {

$table->dropColumn('social_id');

$table->dropColumn('social_type');

});

}

After successfully add field in database table. Then add fillable property in User.php model, which is found inside app/Models/ directory:

<?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 array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'social_id',
        'social_type'
    ];
 
    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
        'two_factor_recovery_codes',
        'two_factor_secret',
    ];
 
    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @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',
    ];
}

<?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 array

protected $fillable = [

'name',

'email',

'password',

'social_id',

'social_type'

];

/**

* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.

* @var array

protected $hidden = [

'password',

'remember_token',

'two_factor_recovery_codes',

'two_factor_secret',

];

/**

* The attributes that should be cast to native types.

* @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, run following command to migrate database schema.

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 6 – Install Jetstream Auth

In this step we will Install Laravel Jetstream Package via Composer using following command:

composer require laravel/jetstream

1	composer require laravel/jetstream

Now, you have to install livewire with jetstream. Use the following command to install livewire with jetstream in laravel application:

php artisan jetstream:install livewire

1	php artisan jetstream:install livewire

Install necessary NPM dependency:

npm install

1	npm install

Start node development server:

npm run dev

1	npm run dev

Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 7 – Make Routes

In this step, Go to routes directory and open web.php file. Then add the following routes into web.php file:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\SocialGithubController;
 
 
Route::get('auth/github', [SocialGithubController::class, 'redirectToGithub']);
Route::get('callback/github', [SocialGithubController::class, 'handleCallback']);

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\SocialGithubController;

Route::get('auth/github', [SocialGithubController::class, 'redirectToGithub']);

Route::get('callback/github', [SocialGithubController::class, 'handleCallback']);

Step 8 – Create Controller By Command

In this step, run the following command to create GithubSocialController.php file:

php artisan make:controller SocialGithubController

1	php artisan make:controller SocialGithubController

Now, go to app/http/controllers directory and open SocialGithubController.php file in any text editor. Then put the following code into SocialGithubController.php file:

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
   
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\Models\User;
   
class SocialGithubController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function redirectToGithub()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect();
    }
       
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handleCallback()
    {
        try {
     
            $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();
      
            $finduser = User::where('social_id', $user->id)->first();
      
            if($finduser){
      
                Auth::login($finduser);
     
                return redirect('/home');
      
            }else{
                $newUser = User::create([
                    'name' => $user->name,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'social_id'=> $user->id,
                    'social_type'=> 'github',
                    'password' => encrypt('github123456')
                ]);
     
                Auth::login($newUser);
      
                return redirect('/home');
            }
     
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Socialite;

use Auth;

use Exception;

use App\Models\User;

class SocialGithubController extends Controller

{

/**

* Create a new controller instance.

* @return void

public function redirectToGithub()

{

return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect();

}

/**

* Create a new controller instance.

* @return void

public function handleCallback()

{

try {

$user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();

$finduser = User::where('social_id', $user->id)->first();

if($finduser){

Auth::login($finduser);

return redirect('/home');

}else{

$newUser = User::create([

'name' => $user->name,

'email' => $user->email,

'social_id'=> $user->id,

'social_type'=> 'github',

'password' => encrypt('github123456')

]);

Auth::login($newUser);

return redirect('/home');

}

} catch (Exception $e) {

dd($e->getMessage());

}

In this step, implement github login button into login.blade.php file. So, open login.blade.php, which is found inside resources/views/auth/ directory:

<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 value="{{ __('Email') }}" />
                <x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="email" name="email" :value="old('email')" required autofocus />
            </div>
 
            <div class="mt-4">
                <x-jet-label value="{{ __('Password') }}" />
                <x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="password" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password" />
            </div>
 
            <div class="block mt-4">
                <label class="flex items-center">
                    <input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox" 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">
                    {{ __('Login') }}
                </x-jet-button>
 
                <a href="{{ url('auth/github') }}" style="margin-top: 0px !important;background: green;color: #ffffff;padding: 5px;border-radius:7px;" class="ml-2">
                  <strong>Github Login</strong>
                </a> 
            </div>
        </form>
    </x-jet-authentication-card>
</x-guest-layout>

<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>

@endif

@csrf

<div>

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

<x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="email" name="email" :value="old('email')" required autofocus />

</div>

<x-jet-label value="{{ __('Password') }}" />

<x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="password" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password" />
