Authorization via Yandex, VK, Telegram using Laravel Socialite

Introduction

There are many articles and tutorials on the Internet on how to integrate OAuth authorization through popular providers such as Google, Facebook and Twitter into Laravel projects. But how to do this through Yandex, VK, etc. There is no information in RuNet at all.

I will show you using Yandex as an example. Do the same with other providers.

Step 1: Create an application

First, we register our application in Yandex OAuth

After registering the application, go to our application page and save these 3 fields, we will need them a little later.

Step 2: Install Socialite

Install Laravel Socialite in our project via composer

composer require laravel/socialite

Installing SocialiteProviders

SocialiteProviders is an extension for Laravel Socialite that adds support for many additional OAuth providers, including Yandex, VK, Telegram and others. Full list of providers at their website.

composer require socialiteproviders/yandex

Step 3. Project Setup

In file config/services.php add settings for Yandex:

'yandex' => [
    'client_id' => env('YANDEX_CLIENT_ID'),
    'client_secret' => env('YANDEX_CLIENT_SECRET'),
    'redirect' => env('YANDEX_REDIRECT_URI'), ],

Insert into .env file variables that Yandex gave us:

YANDEX_CLIENT_ID=*ClientID*
YANDEX_CLIENT_SECRET=*Client secret*
YANDEX_REDIRECT_URI=*Redirect URI для веб-сервисов*

Let's add routes for redirecting to Yandex and processing the callback:

Route::get('login/yandex', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'yandex'])->name('yandex');
Route::get('login/yandex/redirect', [AuthenticatedSessionController::class, 'yandexRedirect'])->name('yandexRedirect');

Let's add the necessary functions to the controller:

    use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;
    use Str;   

   public function yandex() // перенаправляем юзера на яндекс Auth
    {
        return Socialite::driver('yandex')->redirect();
    }

    public function yandexRedirect() // принимаем возвращаемые данные и работаем с ними
    {
        $user = Socialite::driver('yandex')->user();

        $user = User::firstOrCreate([ // используем firstOrCreate для проверки есть ли такие пользователи в нашей БД
            'email' => $user->email
        ], [
            'name' => $user->user['display_name'], // display_name - переменаая хранящая полное ФИО пользователя
                                                  // остальные переменные можете посмотреть использовав $dd('$user')
            'password' => Hash::make(Str::random(24)),
        ]);

        Auth::login($user, true);

        redirect()->route('main');
    }

Put our first route on the “login via Yandex” button and you’re done. Using the same scheme, you do telegram, vk and other services listed in socialiteproviders.
