I won't have time to implement this in February. OpenAPI / Swagger & Uploading a file should come first imo so I'm moving this back to April 2019.

I finished to refactor the authentication system in version 1. So we will able to add social authentication this summer.

Might be useful for if you take a look at https://github.com/laravel/socialite.

I wouldn't call myself a laravel fan, I've just used it. I can say that it's more than 5 years that it's actively being developed and used by many. I consider laravel well designed and robust framework. Foal can benefit from the good that laravel has :)

Any news on this feature?
I need social auth for my next project, and I will try to make it work with the current (1.2.0) version of FoalTS if this isn't released in time. Maybe I can help with the implementation instead of trying to make a workaround?

I'm going to block next week to work on it. I already have something waiting on the paper. Which social provider would you need first? Are you building an SPA or are using SSR?

[enepeti]

Thank you for your answer.
I am building an SPA and need Google and Facebook as providers.

I'm making progress on social auth: #563.

Thank you for the link @OrkhanAlikhanov . It helped!

Google and Facebook providers have been released in version 1.3. Github and LinkedIn providers will be released with version 1.4 (PR already merged). I'm closing this then.

If someone requires authentication with Twitter (which uses a different protocol than the others), feel free to open an new issue for this 👍
