Creating a Handler

Below is an example handler. You need to add this full class name to the listen[] in the EventServiceProvider.

• See also the Laravel docs about events.
• providername is the name of the provider such as meetup.
• You will need to change your the namespacing and class names of course.

namespace Your\Name\Space;

use SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled;

class ProviderNameExtendSocialite
{
    public function handle(SocialiteWasCalled $socialiteWasCalled)
    {
        $socialiteWasCalled->extendSocialite('providername', \Your\Name\Space\Provider::class);
    }
}

Creating a Provider

• Look at the already created providers for inspiration.
• See this article on Medium

Overriding a Built-in Provider

You can easily override a built-in laravel/socialite provider by creating a new one with exactly the same name (i.e. 'facebook').

Dynamically Passing a Config

You can dynamically pass a config by using:

$clientId = "secret";
$clientSecret = "secret";
$redirectUrl = "http://yourdomain.com/api/redirect";
$additionalProviderConfig = ['site' => 'meta.stackoverflow.com'];
$config = new \SocialiteProviders\Manager\Config($clientId, $clientSecret, $redirectUrl, $additionalProviderConfig);
return Socialite::with('provider-name')->setConfig($config)->redirect();

You must call this before you run any Socialite methods.

Creating an OAuth1 Server Class

Take a look at the other OAuth1 providers for inspiration.

Getting the Access Token Response Body

Laravel Socialite by default only allows access to the access_token. Which can be accessed via the \Laravel\Socialite\User->token public property. Sometimes you need access to the whole response body which may contain items such as a refresh_token.

To make this possible, the OAuth2 provider class needs to extend \SocialiteProviders\Manager\OAuth2\AbstractProvider and OAuth1 providers need to utilize the \SocialiteProviders\Manager\OAuth1\AbstractProvider and \SocialiteProviders\Manager\OAuth1\Server.

You can access it from the user object like so: $user->accessTokenResponseBody
