Hej! - a Socialite authentication flow implementation

Hej! is a simple authentication flow implementation for Socialite. Out-of-the-box, Hej! can help you login and register users using Socialite providers, or link and unlink social accounts, just by extending a controller.

🤝 Supporting

If you are using one or more Renoki Co. open-source packages in your production apps, in presentation demos, hobby projects, school projects or so, sponsor our work with Github Sponsors. 📦

🚀 Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require renoki-co/hej

Publish the config:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RenokiCo\Hej\HejServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Publish the migrations:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RenokiCo\Hej\HejServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

🙌 Usage

For the user (or any Authenticatable instance) you should add the HasSocialAccounts trait and the Sociable interface:

use RenokiCo\Hej\Concerns\HasSocialAccounts;
use RenokiCo\Hej\Contracts\Sociable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements Sociable
{
    use HasSocialAccounts;

    //
}

Out-of-the-box, it works with any Laravel application.

After you have configured Socialite, the only thing to do is to point your desired redirect and callback paths to the package controller:

Route::get('/social/{provider}/redirect', [\RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController::class, 'redirect']);
Route::get('/social/{provider}/callback', [\RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController::class, 'callback']);

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/social/{provider}/link', [\RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController::class, 'link']);
    Route::get('/social/{provider}/unlink', [\RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController::class, 'unlink']);
});

The paths can be any, as long as they contain a first parameter which is going to be the provider you try to authenticate with. For example, accessing this link will redirect to Github:

https://my-link.com/social/github/redirect

Extending Controllers

Hej! is really flexible and does a lot of things in the background to register or login using Socialite.

However, you need to extend the controller and you will then be able to replace some methods to customize the flow.

use RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController;

class MySocialController extends SocialController
{
    //
}

Then you should point the routes to the new controller.

Provider whitelisting

Due to the fact that the endpoints are opened to get any provider, you can whitelist the Socialite provider names that can be used:

/**
 * Whitelist social providers to be used.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected static $allowedSocialiteProviders = [
    //
];

For example, allowing only Facebook and Github should look like this:

protected static $allowedSocialiteProviders = [
    'facebook',
    'github',
];

If one of the providers accessed via the URL is not whitelisted, a simple redirect is done automatically. However, you can replace it and redirect to your custom redirect action.

Custom Socialite Redirect & Retrieval

With Socialite, you can use ->redirect() to redirect the user and ->user() to retrieve it. You can customize the instances by replacing getSocialiteRedirect and getSocialiteUser.

Here is the default configuration:

/**
 * Get the Socialite direct instance that will redirect
 * the user to the right provider OAuth page.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return mixed
 */
protected function getSocialiteRedirect(Request $request, string $provider)
{
    return $this->socialite
        ->driver($provider)
        ->redirect();
}

/**
 * Get the Socialite User instance that will be
 * given after the OAuth authorization passes.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser
 */
protected function getSocialiteUser(Request $request, string $provider)
{
    return $this->socialite
        ->driver($provider)
        ->user();
}

Registering new users

When the Social account that the user logged in is not registered within the database, it creates a new authenticatable model, but in order to do this, it should fill it with data.

By default, it fills in using Socialite Provider's given data and sets a random 64-letter word password:

/**
 * Get the Authenticatable model data to fill on register.
 * When the user gets created, it will receive these parameters
 * in the `::create()` method.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return array
 */
protected function getRegisterData(Request $request, string $provider, $providerUser): array
{
    return [
        'name' => $providerUser->getName(),
        'email' => $providerUser->getEmail(),
        'email_verified_at' => now(),
        'password' => Hash::make(Str::random(64)),
    ];
}

Handling duplicated E-Mail addresses

Sometimes, it can happen for the users to have an account created with E-Mail address only, having no social accounts. A new social account with the same E-Mail address will trigger a new authenticatable record in the database on callback.

For this, a Redirect is made to handle this specific scenario.

Filling the Social table

After registration or login, the Socialite data gets created or updated, either the user existed or not.

By default, it's recommended to not get overwritten, excepting for the fact you want to change the table structure and extend the Social model that is also set in config/hej.php.

/**
 * Get the Social model data to fill on register or login.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return array
 */
protected function getSocialData(Request $request, string $provider, $model, $providerUser): array
{
    return [
        'provider_nickname' => $providerUser->getNickname(),
        'provider_name' => $providerUser->getName(),
        'provider_email' => $providerUser->getEmail(),
        'provider_avatar' => $providerUser->getAvatar(),
    ];
}

Callbacks

Right before the user is authenticated or registered successfully, there exist callback that trigger and you can replace them for some custom logic.

/**
 * Handle the callback after the registration process.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $social
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return void
 */
protected function registered(Request $request, $model, $social, $providerUser)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Handle the callback after the login process.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $social
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return void
 */
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $model, $social, $providerUser)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Handle the callback after the linking process.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $social
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return void
 */
protected function linked(Request $request, $model, $social, $providerUser)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Handle the callback after the unlink process.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return void
 */
protected function unlinked(Request $request, $model, string $provider)
{
    //
}

Redirects

You are free to overwrite the actions' redirects within the controller:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;

/**
 * Specify the redirection route after successful authentication.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterAuthentication($model)
{
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

/**
 * Specify the redirection route to let the users know
 * the authentication using the selected provider was rejected.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterProviderIsRejected(Request $request, $provider)
{
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

/**
 * Specify the redirection route to let the users know
 * the E-Mail address used with this social account is
 * already existent as another account. This is most often
 * occuring during registrations with Social accounts.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterDuplicateEmail(Request $request, $provider, $providerUser)
{
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

Link & Unlink

Prior to creating new accounts or logging in with Socialite providers, Hej! comes with support to link and unlink Social accounts to and from your users.

You will need to have the routes accessible only for your authenticated users:

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/social/{provider}/link', [\RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController::class, 'link']);
    Route::get('/social/{provider}/unlink', [\RenokiCo\Hej\Http\Controllers\SocialController::class, 'unlink']);
});

Further, you may access the URLs to link or unlink providers.

Additionally, you may implement custom redirect for various events happening during link/unlink:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;

/**
 * Specify the redirection route to let the users know
 * the social account is already associated with their account.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterProviderIsAlreadyLinked(Request $request, $provider, $model)
{
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

/**
 * Specify the redirection route to let the users know
 * the social account is associated with another account.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterProviderAlreadyLinkedByAnotherAuthenticatable(
    Request $request, $provider, $model, $providerUser
) {
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

/**
 * Specify the redirection route to let the users know
 * they linked the social account.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $social
 * @param  \Laravel\Socialite\AbstractUser  $providerUser
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterLink(Request $request, $model, $social, $providerUser)
{
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

/**
 * Specify the redirection route to let the users
 * they have unlinked the social account.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model  $model
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function redirectToAfterUnlink(Request $request, $model, string $provider)
{
    return Redirect::route('home');
}

Custom Authenticatable

When trying to login or register, the package uses the default App\User as defined in config/hej.php. However, this can easily be replaced at the request level:

/**
 * Get the model to login (or register).
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return string
 */
public function getAuthenticatable(Request $request, string $provider)
{
    return config('hej.default_authenticatable');
}

For example, you can change the model to authenticate as for different Socialite providers:

public function getAuthenticatable(Request $request, string $provider)
{
    if ($provider === 'medium') {
        return \App\AnotherUser::class;
    }

    return config('hej.default_authenticatable');
}

Keep in mind that the model should also use the Trait and the Interface and be Authenticatable.
