Slack

Comparison to offical provider

Socialite now has an official slack provider, but there are some important differences between the socialite one and the offical one. Namley, this provider allows you to request both user and bot scopes, and thus get both bot tokens and user tokens. See the section below on that.

https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/socialite#installation

Installation & Basic Usage

Please see the Base Installation Guide, then follow the provider specific instructions below.

Add configuration to config/services.php

'slack' => [    
  'client_id' => env('SLACK_CLIENT_ID'),  
  'client_secret' => env('SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET'),  
  'redirect' => env('SLACK_REDIRECT_URI') 
],

Add provider event listener

Laravel 11+

In Laravel 11, the default EventServiceProvider provider was removed. Instead, add the listener using the listen method on the Event facade, in your AppServiceProvider boot method.

• Note: You do not need to add anything for the built-in socialite providers unless you override them with your own providers.

Event::listen(function (\SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled $event) {
    $event->extendSocialite('slack', \SocialiteProviders\Slack\Provider::class);
});

Laravel 10 or below

Configure the package's listener to listen for `SocialiteWasCalled` events.

Add the event to your listen[] array in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider. See the Base Installation Guide for detailed instructions.

protected $listen = [
    \SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled::class => [
        // ... other providers
        \SocialiteProviders\Slack\SlackExtendSocialite::class.'@handle',
    ],
];

Usage

You should now be able to use the provider like you would regularly use Socialite (assuming you have the facade installed):

return Socialite::driver('slack')->redirect();

This package allows you to request both bot and user scopes. User scopes are set using the standard ->scopes() method, and bot scopes are via the ->botScopes() method.

return Socialite::driver('slack')->scopes(['identity.basic', 'identity.email', 'identity.team'])->botScopes(['chat:write','commands'])->redirect();

Returned User fields

• id
• name
• email
• avatar
• organization_id
