Laravel 5.8 Facebook Login(using scaffold, no coding required)

When you search “Laravel Facebook Login” on Google, there are many articles telling you to install Socialite, then write controllers, views, and routes, it’s too tedious.

Following “DRY”, the same code should only be written once by one person, then share it as a package, others just install it, no coding required.

Nobody has done it, so I do it.

Do you know Laravel official command to make the login page? it’s

php artisan make:auth

I write a similar command to make the socialite login page:

composer require sinkcup/laravel-make-auth-socialite
php artisan make:auth-socialite
php artisan migrate

change config/services.php

    'facebook' => [
        'client_id' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
        'client_secret' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET'),
        'redirect' => env('FACEBOOK_VALID_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI'),
    ],

create an app on Facebook Developers, then change .env

AUTH_SOCIAL_LOGIN_PROVIDERS=GitHub,Facebook

# Facebook allows localhost, it's very friendly to developers
FACEBOOK_APP_ID=123456
FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET=secret
FACEBOOK_VALID_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost/login/facebook/callback"

visiting the Login page in a browser, you can see everything is OK:

feel free to edit the pages:

• resources/views/auth/login.blade.php
• resources/views/user/profile_edit.blade.php

If you have any question, create an issue in the repo: github.com/sinkcup/laravel-make-auth-socialite
