Auth guard for Laravel that completely relies on Google Login and doesn't persist, _(*2)

Overview

Sometimes your small application doesn't need local persisted user repository at all. At times like that, it's nice to rely on external account repository, eg. Google – nowadays practically everybody got a Google account?, _(*3)

This authentication guard relies on Google token. Every time your app needs to authenticate a user, it will redirect user to Google, then back. If the token is valid, your user will be considered authenticated within your app., _(*4)

No persistence at all, just some session caching., _(*5)

And you can of course specify allowed Google users or domains if your application is private., _(*6)

Dependencies

• Laravel Socialite
• Laravel 5.3.*

Installation

First install the package using Packagist:, _(*7)

$ composer require dusterio/laravel-google-guard

Add the package service provider to your config/app.php to providers array:, _(*8)

Dusterio\LaravelGoogleGuard\Integrations\LaravelServiceProvider::class,

You should see two extra routes after this:, _(*9)

$ php artisan route:list
| GET|HEAD | auth/google            |                   | Dusterio\LaravelGoogleGuard\Http\LoginController@redirectToProvider     | guest,web    |
| GET|HEAD | auth/google/callback   |                   | Dusterio\LaravelGoogleGuard\Http\LoginController@handleProviderCallback | guest,web    |

Configure the guard in config/auth.php:, _(*10)

    'guards' => [
        /// Your existing guards
        /// ...    
        'google' => [
            /*
             * For consistency, return a dummy (not persisted) class holder.
            */
            'userClass' => '\App\User',

            /*
             * Remember users for this number of seconds.
             */
            'timeout' => 3600,

            /*
             * Users that can use the app. If left empty, everybody is allowed.
             */
            'whitelist' => [
                'admin@.',
            ]
        ]              
    ]

Make it a default guard in the same file config/auth.php:, _(*11)

        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'google',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

Add your google key and secret to config/services.php, eg.:, _(*12)

    'google' => [
        'client_id' => env('GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID'),
        'client_secret' => env('GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET'),
        'redirect' => env('APP_URL') . '/auth/google/callback',
    ],

That's it – you are ready to go!, _(*13)
