How do I set up Laravel Socialite for OAuth authentication?

To set up Laravel Socialite, first, install it via Composer with composer require laravel/socialite. Then, configure your services in config/services.php.

What do I need to add to the services.php file?

You need to add your OAuth provider credentials. For example, for GitHub, add the client ID and secret like this:

'github' => [
    'client_id' => env('GITHUB_CLIENT_ID'),
    'client_secret' => env('GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET'),
    'redirect' => env('GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI'),
],

How do I create the redirect URI?

The redirect URI is the URL where users will be sent after authentication. You can define it in your .env file like this:

GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI=http://yourapp.com/login/github/callback

What routes do I need to set up for authentication?

You need to set up routes for redirecting to the provider and handling the callback. For example:

Route::get('login/github', [LoginController::class, 'redirectToProvider']);
Route::get('login/github/callback', [LoginController::class, 'handleProviderCallback']);
