How do i retrieve a user github repositories with Laravel socialite? - laravel-5

Question

Been using socialite for quite a while now and i'm wondering if there is any built-in method that allows me to retrieve a user repositories.
I'm familiar with the list on method offered on laravel website.
Any idea how to fetch the Repos given the user token ?

Answer 1

I found another to do that . Find the code below :
In the callback function i added a function that uses curl to fetch repos
public function handleProviderCallback()
{
$user = Socialite::driver('github')->user();
$this->getUserRepos($user);
}
The Get Repos function is as below :
private function getUserRepos($user)
{
$name=$user->getNickname();
$token=$user->token;
// We generate the url for curl
$curl_url = 'https://api.github.com/users/' .$name. '/repos';
// We generate the header part for the token
$curl_token_auth = 'Authorization: token ' . $token;
// We make the actuall curl initialization
$ch = curl_init($curl_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// We set the right headers: any user agent type, and then the custom token header part that we generated
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('User-Agent: Awesome-Octocat-App', $curl_token_auth));
// We execute the curl
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// And we make sure we close the curl
curl_close($ch);
// Then we decode the output and we could do whatever we want with it
$output = json_decode($output);
foreach ($output as $repo) {
print '' . $repo->name . '<br />';
}
}
And it works swiftly .
