Replace avatar Url on Social login with Laravel Socialite

Question

I'm facing an issue, I'm login with social networks and everything works perfect but my problem is with Avatars. When login, I get all the data including the Avatar but that avatar is saved in my database with Social Network original Url, I want to save it with my url instead.

In other words, I save the profile pictures using timestamps and original file extension in Laravel

This my provider callback method in controller

public function handleProviderCallback(Request $request, $provider)
 {
     try
     {
         $socialUser = Socialite::driver($provider)->user();
     }
     catch(\Exception $e)
     {
         return redirect('/');
     }
     //Check if we have logged on Social Provider

     $socialProvider =   SocialProvider::where('provider_id', $socialUser->getId())->first();
     if (!$socialProvider)
     {
         //Create a new user and provider
         $user = new User;
         $user->name = $socialUser->getName();
         $user->profilepic = $socialUser->getAvatar();
         $user->email = $socialUser->getEmail();

         if($request->hasFile('avatar')){
             $profilepic = $request->file('avatar');
             $filename = time() . '.' . $profilepic->getClientOriginalExtension();
             Image::make($profilepic)->resize(300, 300)->save( public_path('/uploads/avatars/' . $filename ) );
             $user->profilepic = $filename;
         }

         $user->save();

         // $user = User::firstOrCreate([
         //   'name'  =>  $socialUser->getName(),
         //   'profilepic' => $socialUser->getAvatar(),
         //   'email' =>  $socialUser->getEmail()
         // ]);

         $user->socialProviders()->create(
           ['provider_id' => $socialUser->getId(), 'provider' => $provider]
         );

     Session::flash('success', 'Tu cuenta ha sido enlazada correctamente, sin embargo, ahora debes crear una contraseña. Crea tu contraseña ahora.');

    $user->save();
     auth()->login($user);

     return redirect('account-complete');

     }
     else
         $user = $socialProvider->user;

     auth()->login($user);

     return back();

 }

Im getting this URL with facebook:

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/10155364486426042/picture?type=normal

This is how i want it to be

http://localhost:8000/uploads/avatars/1519702861.jpg

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

if ($socialUser->getAvatar()) {
    $filename = "uploads/avatar/".time().".jpg"; 
    // The filename to save in the database.
    file_put_contents(
        $filename, 
        file_get_contents($socialUsr->getAvatar())
    );
}

Above method will work given that the destination directory is writable by php.

Hope this helps.
