Steem OAuth2 Provider for Laravel Socialite

I like Steem and many other blockchains. As a developer, I always like to take the advantage of using ready to use libraries. As a PHP developer, I always like to use Laravel and it's rich contribution background.

I decided to make an application over Steemit. So I needed Laravel Socialite for authentication. But until today, it did not have Steem Provider. So I did. It has Steem Provider in the repository, but not listed here, yet.

P.S. No contribution needed

How to use?

Please follow Socialite Providers page. Whenever it's listed by the team, you can reach the introductions.

I assume that, they have added it on to Packagist as socialiteproviders/steem

It's available on Packagist now! So, here is composer command:

composer require socialiteproviders/steem

LoginController.php

/**
     * Redirect the user to the Steem Connect authentication page.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function redirectToProvider()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('steem')->redirect();
    }

/**
     * Obtain the user information from Steem Connect
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function handleProviderCallback()
    {
        $user = Socialite::driver('steem')->user();

        // If the user already registered, update access token.
        // If no matching user exists, create one.
        $auth = User::updateOrCreate(
            [
                'account'       => $user->nickname
            ],
            [
                'name'          => $user->name,
                'account'       => $user->nickname,
                'profile_image' => $user->avatar,
                'access_token'  => $user->token,
            ]
        );

        auth()->login($auth);
        return redirect()->to('/home');
    }

Note: auth()->login($auth); requires matching User Model!

Enjoy,
Burak
