Step 1: Make a project of Laravel 5.7 Or Laravel 5.8 Facebook Login.

 

First of all we will install laravel 5.7 Or Laravel 5.8 application.

 

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

 

Step 2:then create users table with column.

 

CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(100) NOT NULL,
`fname` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`facebook_id` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`image` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`remember_token` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`updated_at` int(100) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

 

Step 3: Create a Laravel Authentication Using Auth Command

 

php artisan make:auth

Now, if we switch to the routes/web.php file then there is one added route, and also our view is configured automatically.

<?php 
// web.php
Auth::routes();

After running auth command, a folder of resources/views/auth / name will be created in your application. This will be two file inside the auth folder login.blade.php and register.blade.php

 

Install the laravel/socialite package for laravel 5.7 Or Laravel 5.8 Facebook Login

 

Step 4: Install Socialite Package

 

In this step we will learn to install socialite packege.

 

composer require laravel/socialite

 

Step 5: add service provider and alias.

 

After installing the Socialite Package, we will add the service of provider and alias to the config/app.php file.

 

'providers' => [
Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],

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

 

Step 6: Create Facebook App

 

In the third step you will have to create a facebook app account. You can create this by visiting this link of the Facebook app. After creating facebook account you will need cliend id and secret id.

You can create a client id and secret that you want to add to this config/services.php file. You can see below.

config/services.php

return [
....
'facebook' => [
'client_id' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID'),
'client_secret' => env('FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'redirect' => env('FACEBOOK_CALLBACK_URL'),
],
]

 

Step 7: Create Model and ADD Column

 

app/User.php

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'fname', 'email', 'password', 'facebook_id', 'image',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}

 

Step 8: Create New Routes

 

In this step we need to create routes for facebook login, so you need to add following route on bellow file.

route/web.php

Route::get('facebookpage', function () {
return view('facebookpage');
});

Auth::routes();
Route::get('auth/facebook', 'Auth\FacebookloginController@redirectToFacebook');
Route::get('auth/facebook/callback', 'Auth\FacebookloginController@handleFacebookCallback');

 

Step 9: Create New FacebookloginController

 

we need to add new controller and method of facebook auth that method will handle facebook callback url and etc, first put bellow code on your FacebookloginController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/FacebookloginController.php

<?php

// FacebookloginController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Socialite;

class FacebookloginController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a redirect method to facebook api.
*
* @return void
*/
public function redirect()
{
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
}
/**
* Return a callback method from facebook api.
*
* @return callback URL from facebook
*/
public function callback()
{
  $userSocial = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
  //return $userSocial;
  $finduser = User::where('facebook_id', $userSocial->id)->first();
  if($finduser){
      Auth::login($finduser);
      return Redirect::to('/');
  }else{
  $new_user = User::create([
        'fname'      => $userSocial->name,
        'email'      => $userSocial->email,
        'image'  => $userSocial->avatar_original,
        'facebook_id'=> $userSocial->id
    ]);
    Auth::login($new_user);
    return redirect()->back();
}
}
}

1)redirect(): Redirect our users to the Facebook.

2) callback(): Handle callback from Facebook.

 

Step 10: Create Blade File

 

Ok, now at last we need to add blade view so first create new file facebooklogin.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/facebooklogin.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12 row-block">
<a href="{{ url('auth/facebook') }}" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block">
<strong>Login With Facebook</strong>
</a> 
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
