If you are using the JumpGate repo, setting up social users is super easy. When you run the setup command, just change it to the following.
php artisan jumpgate:setup --social-users --force
The --social-users flag will install the JumpGate/Users package and socialite for you. You will still need to set up the
enable_social key in config/jumpgate/users.php to true in order to turn it on.
First things first, you will need to install socialite.
composer require laravel/socialite
php artisan package:discover
{info} Laravel should auto discover the provider and alias, but to be safe, we want to run discover.
This is all that is required to get started with socialite. It comes with some providers automatically installed, but you can visit Laravel Socialite Providers for a larger list of already made providers for many popular APIs. You can also find documentation for socialite itself at Laravel’s Docs.
By default, this package wont install any social tables in the database until you set enable_social to true in your
config/jumpgate/users.php. If you enable this after running the initial migrations, its not a problem, just
set it to true and then run php artisan migrate and it will now add them.
{primary} Running the social migration also sets the password field on the
userstable to nullable.
When a user logs in through a social provider it will create a new row in the user_socials table for that provider. It
stores the social_id (the user’s ID with that provider) and the avatar (any avatar the user may have set for them). So
if you allow multiple providers, a user will have multiple records in this table that you can use as needed.
It will also log the last provider the user logged in through in the users table on the authenticated_as column.
Now that you have your new database tables, you should create a link for the User model to access the Social model. We
have done this for you in that you just need to have your User model use the JumpGate\Users\Traits\HasSocials trait and
you’re done.
{warning} Make sure you add this since the login process expects the
addSocial()andhasProvider()methods to exist on the user model.
