I’m using Laravel Socialite to handle Facebook authentication in my Laravel application, and I’m working in a test environment only. I have successfully integrated Socialite to allow users to log in with their Facebook accounts. Now, I need to fetch a list of the user’s Facebook friends after they authenticate.
-
I’ve reviewed the Laravel Socialite documentation and the Facebook Graph API documentation, but I’m unsure how to proceed with obtaining the list of friends.
-
Facebook Permissions: I’ve made sure to request the user_friends permission during the login process.
-
API Calls: I’ve attempted to use the Graph API directly to fetch friends but haven’t been able to integrate it smoothly with Socialite.
Here’s a snippet of the code I’m using to authenticate users:
public function redirectToProviderFacebook()
{
return Socialite::driver('facebook')->scopes(['user_friends'])->redirect();
}
public function handleProviderCallbackFacebook(Request $request)
{
try {
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->stateless()->user();
$accessToken = $user->token;
// Get friends
$response = Http::withToken($accessToken)
->get('https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends');
$friends = $response->json();
dd($friends);
$data = User::where`your text`('email', $user->email)->first();
if (is_null($data)) {
$users['name'] = $user->name;
$users['email'] = $user->email;
$users['password'] = Hash::make('password');
$data = User::create($users);
}
Auth::login($data);
return redirect('dashboard');
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Log the error or return a meaningful message
Log::error('Facebook OAuth error: ' . $e->getMessage());
return redirect()->route('login')->with('error', 'Authentication failed.');
}
}

How do I use Laravel Socialite to fetch a user’s list of friends from Facebook in a test environment?
-
Are there any specific settings or configurations needed in the Facebook Developer Console for accessing friends data in a test environment?
-
Can you provide an example of how to make a request to the Facebook Graph API to get friends data after authentication?
Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!
