     */
    public function handleProviderCallback(Request $request)

        // $user->token;    
    }

Answer 1

\Log::Info($user);

This needs string not object. You are passing an object instead of a string.

Answer 2

info(print_r($user,true));

show all the detail with laravel helper function
