Facebook PHP SDK for Laravel 4.1

Facebook PHP SDK wrapper package with Facebook Connect support through Laravel Session.

Most Facebook wrapper packages for Laravel just bootstrap the Facebook class from SDK which use PHP native session and cookies. Native PHP session is ok, but not usable in load balanced applications.

Moreover Laravel works only with encrypted cookies which increase application security. You can change your session provider to Redis, memcached or whatever and this will not break your Facebook Login integration!

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer.

{
    "require": {
        "PageBoost/facebook-laravel": "dev-master"
    }
}

Open app/config/app.php and add following Service Provider and Facade

// Provider
'providers' => array(
    'PageBoost\FacebookLaravel\FacebookServiceProvider',
)
// Facade
'aliases' => array(
    'FB' => 'PageBoost\FacebookLaravel\Facades\LaravelFacebook',
)
