Using laravel-socialite I am trying this code

$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();

But it returns error 

ErrorException in FacebookProvider.php line 90: 
Undefined index: first_name

I have laravel/socialite version ^2.0 required in composer.

How to solve this?

  • what are you returning?. try `dd($user)` to check what they it return. – ssuhat Jan 11 '16 at 10:45
  • i am trying to get the user by `$user = Socialite::driver($type)->user();`. which gives me error. How can I dump $user before that? – Abel D Jan 11 '16 at 10:47
  • dump it before return statement. – ssuhat Jan 11 '16 at 10:50
  • Sorry I still newbie. the only statement I have in that method is `$user = Socialite::driver($type)->user();` If I dump before this statement I get error undefined variable. – Abel D Jan 11 '16 at 10:54
  • dumping $user before returning gives me 'name' and 'id'. – Abel D Jan 11 '16 at 11:23

I just have to update the new FacbookProivder.php file which I got from this question.

Here is the file. courtesy German for the answer.

You can set the array of fields that you want to retrieve from facebook by calling the fields(array $fields) method of the facebook provider.

Here is an example of that

//get the driver and set desired fields
$driver = Socialite::driver('facebook')
                ->fields([
                    'name', 
                    'first_name', 
                    'last_name', 
                    'email', 
                    'gender', 
                    'verified'
                ]);
// retrieve the user
$user = $driver->user();

For reference on the fields names: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/
