DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306

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',
];
}

use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LinkedinSocialiteController;
Route::get('auth/linkedin', [LinkedinSocialiteController::class, 'redirectToLinkedin']);
Route::get('callback/linkedin', [LinkedinSocialiteController::class, 'handleCallback']);
Step 8 – Create Linkedin Login Controller By Command

php artisan make:controller LinkedinSocialiteController
After that, Go to app/http/controllers directory and open LinkedinSocialiteController.php file in any text editor. Then add the following code into LinkedinSocialiteController.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\Models\User;
class LinkedinSocialiteController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function redirectToLinkedin()
{
return Socialite::driver('linkedin')->redirect();
}
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function handleCallback()
{
try {
$user = Socialite::driver('linkedin')->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'=> 'linkedin',

dd($e->getMessage());
}
}
