Step 1: Install Laravel
We are going to install laravel 6, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command.
1 | composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel6_github_login |
Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
After complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel6_github_login) DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root) DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root) |
Step 3: Create Table using migration
Now, we need to add github_id in the user table. so first we will add the github_id in the migration list after then we will run the migration command.
Here this file We have already updated in the database/migrations/create_users_table file. so you can see the below example code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; class CreateUsersTable extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up() { Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->increments('id'); $table->string('name'); $table->string('email')->unique(); $table->string('password'); $table->string('github_id')->nullable(); $table->rememberToken(); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::dropIfExists('users'); } } ?> |
Run the below command. after the changes above file.
1 | php artisan migrate |
Step 4: Install Package
Now, we are going to install the Socialite package using the below command.
1 | composer require laravel/socialite |
Step 5: Add providers and aliases
We will add below providers and aliases in the “config/app.php” file
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | 'providers' => [ .... Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class, ], 'aliases' => [ .... 'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class, ] |
Step 6: Create github App
here in this step, we need to Github client id and client secret key and that credentials through we can create successfully login. if you don’t have twitter credentials then you have to create a Facebook app. so you can go on https://github.com/settings/developers and create it.
Step 7: Configuration of Api Key
Now, we are going to configuration of api key in app/config/services.php file.
1 2 3 4 5 | 'github' => [ 'client_id' => 'enter your client id', 'client_secret' => 'enter your secret key', 'redirect' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/callback/github', ], |
Step 8: Create Auth
Here in this step, below command using we will create laravel UI and authentication.
1 2 3 | composer require laravel/ui php artisan ui bootstrap --auth npm install |
Step 9: Create Route
Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | <?php /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Web Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These | routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which | contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great! | */ Route::get('/', function () { return view('githubLogin'); }); Route::get('auth/github', 'Auth\LoginController@redirectToGithub'); Route::get('auth/github/callback', 'Auth\LoginController@handleGithubCallback'); ?> |
Step 10: Update Model and Controller
Here in this step, we need to update the User.php model and LoginController.php. so you can see the below example code.
app/User.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 | <?php namespace App; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; class User extends Authenticatable { use Notifiable; /** * The attributes that are mass assignable. * * @var array */ protected $fillable = [ 'name', 'email', 'password', 'github_id' ]; /** * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays. * * @var array */ protected $hidden = [ 'password', 'remember_token', ]; /** * The attributes that should be cast to native types. * * @var array */ protected $casts = [ 'email_verified_at' => 'datetime', ]; } ?> |
app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 | <?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers; use Socialite; use Auth; use Exception; use App\User; class LoginController extends Controller { /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Login Controller |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This controller handles authenticating users for the application and | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait | to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications. | */ use AuthenticatesUsers; /*** Where to redirect users after login. ** @var string */ protected $redirectTo = '/home'; /*** Create a new controller instance. * * @return void */ public function __construct() { $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout'); } public function redirectToGithub() { return Socialite::driver('github')->redirect(); } public function handleGithubCallback() { try { $user = Socialite::driver('github')->user(); $finduser = User::where('github_id', $user->id)->first(); if ($finduser) { Auth::login($finduser); return return redirect('/home'); } else { $newUser = User::create(['name' => $user->name, 'email' => $user->email, 'github_id' => $user->id]); Auth::login($newUser); return redirect()->back(); } } catch(Exception $e) { return redirect('auth/github'); } } } ?> |
Step 11: Create Blade File
Finally, We will create a githubLogin.blade.php file in the “resources/views/” folder directory and paste the below code.
githubLogin.blade.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 row-block"> <a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" href="{{ url('auth/github') }}"> <strong>Login With Github</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> |
