Jump Gate

Social Providers

Set Up

Setting up a new provider is a fairly straight forward task. You will need to do some leg work before you get started though.

  1. Determine the name you will give your provider in services.php and users.php config files.
  2. Sign up for the API. This should provide you with your client_secret, client_key.
  3. Set your redirect URL as <your site>/callback/<provider> when you sign up.
  4. Add these details to your .env. They normally follow the convention of [PROVIDER]_CLIENT_KEY (as an example).
  5. Add the provider to your config/services.php.
  6. Add the provider to config/jumpgate/users.php. (You can use the example config below)

This is the basic workflow. After this, most APIs will work for authentication. You can set scopes and extras in the users.php config if your API uses them. These behave the exact way Laravel Socialite expects those values to.

Below you will find an example set up assuming you were authenticating through google.
