This package provides Github OAuth 2.0 support for the PHP League's OAuth 2.0 Client.

Installation

To install, use composer:

composer require league/oauth2-github

Usage

Usage is the same as The League's OAuth client, using \League\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Github as the provider.

Authorization Code Flow

$provider = new League\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Github([
 'clientId' => '{github-client-id}',
 'clientSecret' => '{github-client-secret}',
 'redirectUri' => 'https://example.com/callback-url',
]);

if (!isset($_GET['code'])) {

 // If we don't have an authorization code then get one
 $authUrl = $provider->getAuthorizationUrl();
 $_SESSION['oauth2state'] = $provider->getState();
 header('Location: '.$authUrl);
 exit;

// Check given state against previously stored one to mitigate CSRF attack
} elseif (empty($_GET['state']) || ($_GET['state'] !== $_SESSION['oauth2state'])) {

 unset($_SESSION['oauth2state']);
 exit('Invalid state');

} else {

 // Try to get an access token (using the authorization code grant)
 $token = $provider->getAccessToken('authorization_code', [
 'code' => $_GET['code']
 ]);

 // Optional: Now you have a token you can look up a users profile data
 try {

 // We got an access token, let's now get the user's details
 $user = $provider->getResourceOwner($token);

 // Use these details to create a new profile
 printf('Hello %s!', $user->getNickname());

 } catch (Exception $e) {

 // Failed to get user details
 exit('Oh dear...');
 }

 // Use this to interact with an API on the users behalf
 echo $token->getToken();
}

Managing Scopes

When creating your Github authorization URL, you can specify the state and scopes your application may authorize.

$options = [
 'state' => 'OPTIONAL_CUSTOM_CONFIGURED_STATE',
 'scope' => ['user','user:email','repo'] // array or string; at least 'user:email' is required
];

$authorizationUrl = $provider->getAuthorizationUrl($options);

If neither are defined, the provider will utilize internal defaults.

At the time of authoring this documentation, the following scopes are available.

  • user
  • user:email
  • user:follow
  • public_repo
  • repo
  • repo_deployment
  • repo:status
  • delete_repo
  • notifications
  • gist
  • read:repo_hook
  • write:repo_hook
  • admin:repo_hook
  • admin:org_hook
  • read:org
  • write:org
  • admin:org
  • read:public_key
  • write:public_key
  • admin:public_key
