Using Laravel Socialite with an API? - php

Question

I'm trying to use Laravel Socialite package over an api. I try to pass the code into my api to fetch the user but it keeps giving me an error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function pull() on null
Since I'm doing the request over an API, I take the following steps.
Send a request to api for the url to fetch the code:
Socialite::with('facebook')->stateless()->redirect()->getTargetUrl()
Then make a request with the above fetched url, which redirects with the code parameter.
Send the code to the api and fetch the user:
$fb_user = Socialite::with('facebook')->user();
This is where it crashes. I'm not sure why.
I've used the package before and it works fine when I just have an app that reloads the page. But when I send it to an api (on a different domain) it crashes. I'm thinking there is some issue with how the code is generated. Is there anyway to fix this?

Answer 1

Just found my answer. Need to use stateless in both calls:
Socialite::with('facebook')->stateless()->redirect()->getTargetUrl()
$fb_user = Socialite::with('facebook')->stateless()->user();
Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

I made SocialController.php and url (POST request) /api/social-login which accepts provider and access_token.
SocialAccount here is a laravel model where you'll provider and provider_user_id and local database user id. Below is the example of social_accounts table
And in SocialController :
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use App\SocialAccount;
use Socialite;
class SocialController extends Controller
{
public function social(Request $request) {
$provider = $request->input('provider');
switch($provider){
case SocialAccount::SERVICE_FACEBOOK:
$social_user = Socialite::driver(SocialAccount::SERVICE_FACEBOOK)->fields([
'name',
'first_name',
'last_name',
'email'
]);
break;
case SocialAccount::SERVICE_GOOGLE:
$social_user = Socialite::driver(SocialAccount::SERVICE_GOOGLE)
->scopes(['profile','email']);
break;
default :
$social_user = null;
}
abort_if($social_user == null , 422,'Provider missing');
$social_user_details = $social_user->userFromToken($request->input('access_token'));
abort_if($social_user_details == null , 400,'Invalid credentials'); //|| $fb_user->id != $request->input('userID')
$account = SocialAccount::where("provider_user_id",$social_user_details->id)
->where("provider",$provider)
->with('user')->first();
if($account){
return $this->issueToken($account->user);
}
else {
// create new user and social login if user with social id not found.
$user = User::where("email",$social_user_details->getEmail())->first();
if(!$user){
// create new social login if user already exist.
$user = new User;
switch($provider){
case SocialAccount::SERVICE_FACEBOOK:
$user->first_name = $social_user_details->user['first_name'];
$user->last_name = $social_user_details->user['last_name'];
break;
case SocialAccount::SERVICE_GOOGLE:
$user->first_name = $social_user_details->user['name']['givenName'];
$user->last_name = $social_user_details->user['name']['familyName'];
break;
default :
}
$user->email = $social_user_details->getEmail();
$user->username = $social_user_details->getEmail();
$user->password = Hash::make('social');
$user->save();
}
$social_account = new SocialAccount;
$social_account->provider = $provider;
$social_account->provider_user_id = $social_user_details->id;
$user->social_accounts()->save($social_account);
return $this->issueToken($user);
}
}
private function issueToken(User $user) {
$userToken = $user->token() ?? $user->createToken('socialLogin');
return [
"token_type" => "Bearer",
"access_token" => $userToken->accessToken
];
}
}
EDIT:
I have created package for the same https://packagist.org/packages/pimplesushant/laravelsocialiteapi
