Laravel 8.0 Socialite Login with Google Account Example

Today I am going to show you how to set up Google Account login with Socialite in laravel 8.0. In this article we use laravel Socialite Login with google Account example.

Step 1: Install Laravel 8

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

Step 2: Install JetStream

composer require laravel/jetstream

Step 3: Install livewire

php artisan jetstream:install livewire

Step 4: Install Node packages

npm install

run

npm run dev

Migrate Database

php artisan migrate

Step 5: Install Socialite

composer require laravel/socialite

Step 6: Create Google App

In this step, we need a google client id and secret that way we can get information from other users. so if you don’t have a google app account then you can create from here: Google Developers Console. you can find bellow screen.

socialite laravel google laravel socialite google laravel socialite google login laravel socialite google example socialite google laravel google socialite laravel google socialite

after create account you can copy client id and secret.

Now you have to set app id, secret and call back url in config file so open config/services.php and set id and secret this way:

config/services.php

 return [
  ---------------
  'google' => [
        'client_id' => 'your_client_id',
        'client_secret' => 'your_client_secrect',
        'redirect' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/auth/google/callback',
    ],
------------
];

Step 7: Add Database Column

In this step first we have to create migration for add google_id in your user table. So let’s run bellow command:

php artisan make:migration add_google_id_column

Migration

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AddGoogleIdColumn extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {

            $table->string('google_id')->nullable();

        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropColumns('google_id');
    }
}

Update mode like this way:

app/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Fortify\TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
use Laravel\Jetstream\HasProfilePhoto;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens;
    use HasFactory;
    use HasProfilePhoto;
    use Notifiable;
    use TwoFactorAuthenticatable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'google_id'
 // updated will be herer
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
        'two_factor_recovery_codes',
        'two_factor_secret',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    /**
     * The accessors to append to the model's array form.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $appends = [
        'profile_photo_url',
    ];
}

Step 8: Create Routes

After adding google_id column first we have to add new route for google login. so let’s add bellow route in routes.php file.

app/Http/routes.php

Route::get('auth/google', [GoogleController::class, 'redirectToGoogle']);

Route::get('auth/google/callback', [GoogleController::class, 'handleGoogleCallback']);

Step 9: Create Controller

After add route, we need to add method of google auth that method will handle google callback url and etc, first put bellow code on your GoogleController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/GoogleController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;

use Exception;

use App\Models\User;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class GoogleController extends Controller
{
    public function redirectToGoogle()

    {

        return Socialite::driver('google')->redirect();

    }
    public function handleGoogleCallback()

    {

        try {



            $user = Socialite::driver('google')->user();



            $finduser = User::where('google_id', $user->id)->first();



            if($finduser){



                Auth::login($finduser);



                return redirect()->intended('dashboard');



            }else{

                $newUser = User::create([

                    'name' => $user->name,

                    'email' => $user->email,

                    'google_id'=> $user->id,

                    'password' => encrypt('123456dummy')

                ]);



                Auth::login($newUser);



                return redirect()->intended('dashboard');

            }



        } catch (Exception $e) {

            dd($e->getMessage());

        }

    }
}

Step 10: Update Blade File

<div class=" mt-4">

                <a href="{{ url('auth/google') }}">

                    <img src="https://developers.google.com/identity/images/btn_google_signin_dark_normal_web.png" style="margin-left: 3em;">

                </a>

            </div>

Ok, now you are ready to use open your browser and check here: URL + ‘/login’.

I hope it can help you…
