Social Share

Social Share is a Laravel package that allows you to connect and post to social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Getting Started

Social Share depends on Laravel Socialite to be able to connect your social platforms, so make sure to install it.

composer require laravel/socialite

Then migrate the databse

How to use Social Share

Social share uses Laravel's Socialite package to connect to your social media platforms. We've provided the following routes for you to use.

Facebook

route('facebook.oauth') // Authenticates facebook and instagram
route('facebook.callback') // Redirect to dashboard and stores pages in database

Twitter

route('twitter.oauth') // Authenticates twitter
route('twitter.callback') // Redirect to dashboard and stores pages in database

Once you have connected your accounts you can post to them by initializing the class you want to post to. For example this is how we would post to our Facebook page.

// Get our Facebook page that was stored in the database when we connected to it.
$page = Jringeisen\SocialShare\SocialPage::where('platform', 'facebook')->first();

// Initialize the Facebook class with our facebook page.
$facebook = new Jringeisen\SocialShare\Facebook($page);

// Post a link with text to Facebook
$facebook->postLink($link, $text);

// Post a photo wtih text to Facebook
$facebook->postPhoto($url, $text);
