Example
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
This will redirect an incoming request to the appropriate URL to be authenticated. A basic example would be in a controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use Socialite;
class AuthenticationController extends Controller {
/**
* Redirects the User to the Facebook page to get authorization.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function facebook() {
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
}
}
make sure your app\Http\routes.php file has a route to allow an incoming request here.
Route::get('facebook', 'App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthenticationController@facebook');
