Step 2 – Configure Database With App
The next step, navigate to the root directory of the download laravel app. And open .env file. Then configure database details like the following:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
DB_USERNAME=here database username here
DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

'facebook' => [ 'client_id' => 'xxxx', 'client_secret' => 'xxx', 'redirect' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/callback/facebook', ],

'providers' => [
/*
* Package Service Providers...
*/
Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
]
Then add the Facade in config/app.php:
'aliases' => [
...
'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
]
Step 5 – Add Field In Table Using Migration
In this step, use the following command to create migration file for add column in database table:
php artisan make:migration add_social_login_field
After that, open the add_social_login_field.php file, which is found inside database/migration directory and add the following code into it:
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class AddSoicalLoginField extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
$table->string('social_id')->nullable();
$table->string('social_type')->nullable();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
$table->dropColumn('social_id');
$table->dropColumn('social_type');
});
}
}
After successfully add field in database table. Then add fillable property in User.php model, which is found inside app/Models/ directory:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Fortify\TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
use Laravel\Jetstream\HasProfilePhoto;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens;
use HasFactory;
use HasProfilePhoto;
use Notifiable;
use TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'social_id',
'social_type'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
'two_factor_recovery_codes',
'two_factor_secret',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
/**
* The accessors to append to the model's array form.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $appends = [
'profile_photo_url',
];
}
After that, execute the following command on cmd to create tables into your selected database:
php artisan migrate
Step 6 – Install Jetstream Auth
In this step, install the jetstream laravel auth scaffolding package with livewire. We have provided a complete guide in this Laravel 9 Auth Scaffolding using Jetstream Tutorial.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\FacebookSocialiteController;
Route::get('auth/facebook', [FacebookSocialiteController::class, 'redirectToFB']);
Route::get('callback/facebook', [FacebookSocialiteController::class, 'handleCallback']);
Step 8 – Create Facebook Login Controller By Command
In this step, Execute the following command on the terminal to create the FacebookSocialiteController.php file:
php artisan make:controller FacebookSocialiteController
After that, Go to app/HTTP/controllers directory and open the FacebookSocialiteController.php file in any text editor. Then add the following code into the FacebookSocialiteController.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\Models\User;
class FacebookSocialiteController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function redirectToFB()
{
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
}
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function handleCallback()
{
try {
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
$finduser = User::where('social_id', $user->id)->first();
if($finduser){
Auth::login($finduser);
return redirect('/home');
}else{
$newUser = User::create([
'name' => $user->name,
'email' => $user->email,
'social_id'=> $user->id,
'social_type'=> 'facebook',
'password' => encrypt('my-facebook')
]);
Auth::login($newUser);
return redirect('/home');
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
dd($e->getMessage());
}
}
}
Step 9 – Integrate FB Login Button In Login Page
In this step, integrate the Facebook login button into the login.blade.php file. So, open login.blade.php, which is found inside resources/views/auth/ directory:
<x-guest-layout>
<x-jet-authentication-card>
<x-slot name="logo">
<x-jet-authentication-card-logo />
</x-slot>
<x-jet-validation-errors class="mb-4" />
@if (session('status'))
<div class="mb-4 font-medium text-sm text-green-600">
{{ session('status') }}
</div>
@endif
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
@csrf
<div>
<x-jet-label value="{{ __('Email') }}" />
<x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="email" name="email" :value="old('email')" required autofocus />
</div>
<div class="mt-4">
<x-jet-label value="{{ __('Password') }}" />
<x-jet-input class="block mt-1 w-full" type="password" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password" />
</div>
<div class="block mt-4">
<label class="flex items-center">
<input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox" name="remember">
<span class="ml-2 text-sm text-gray-600">{{ __('Remember me') }}</span>
</label>
</div>
<div class="flex items-center justify-end mt-4">
@if (Route::has('password.request'))
<a class="underline text-sm text-gray-600 hover:text-gray-900" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
{{ __('Forgot your password?') }}
</a>
@endif
<x-jet-button class="ml-4">
{{ __('Login') }}
</x-jet-button>
<a href="{{ url('auth/faebook') }}" style="margin-top: 0px !important;background: green;color: #ffffff;padding: 5px;border-radius:7px;" class="ml-2">

</a>
</div>
</form>
</x-jet-authentication-card>
</x-guest-layout>
