After install above package we should add providers and aliases in config file.

'providers' => [
    ....
    Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,

],
'aliases' => [
    ....
    'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
],

Install Auth

    'google' => [
        'client_id' => 'app id',
        'client_secret' => 'add secret',
        'redirect' => 'http://learnl52.hd/auth/google/callback',
    ],
]

Add Database Column

In this step first we have to create migration for add google_id in your user table. So let's run bellow command:

php artisan make:migration add_google_id_column

<php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
   
class AddGoogleIdColumn extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->string('google_id')->nullable();
        });
    }
   
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        //
    }
}

app/User.php

Update mode like this way:

<php
namespace App;
  
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
  
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password', 'google_id'
    ];
  
    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
   
    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

Create Routes

After adding google_id column first we have to add new route for google login. so let's add bellow route in routes.php file.

app/Http/routes.php

Route::get('google', function () {
    return view('googleAuth');
});
    
Route::get('auth/google', 'Auth\LoginController@redirectToGoogle');
Route::get('auth/google/callback', 'Auth\LoginController@handleGoogleCallback');

Update Controller File

After add route, we need to add method of google auth that method will handle google callback url and etc, first put bellow code on your LoginController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

<php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
   
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\User;
   
class LoginController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Login Controller
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
    | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
    | to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
    |
    */
   
    use AuthenticatesUsers;
   
    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/home';
   
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }
   
    public function redirectToGoogle()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('google')->redirect();
    }
   
    public function handleGoogleCallback()
    {
        try {
  
            $user = Socialite::driver('google')->user();
   
            $finduser = User::where('google_id', $user->id)->first();
   
            if($finduser){
   
                Auth::login($finduser);
  
                return return redirect('/home');
   
            }else{
                $newUser = User::create([
                    'name' => $user->name,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'google_id'=> $user->id
                ]);
  
                Auth::login($newUser);
   
                return redirect()->back();
            }
  
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            return redirect('auth/google');
        }
    }
}

Create Blade File

Ok, now at last we need to add blade view so first create new file googleAuth.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/googleAuth.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 6 Login with Google Account Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
       <div class="row">
         <div class="col-md-12 row-block">
          <a href="{{ url('auth/google') }}" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block">
          <strong>Login With Google</strong>
          </a> 
         </div>
       </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
