Laravel : Overwrite Socialite Provider to add new fields - laravel

Question

I want to extend/overwrite my LinkedInProvider.php (in vendor\laravel\socialite\src\Two) to add new fields in the Linkedin Request.
I've create a new LinkedInProvider.php (in app\Providers) with the following code :
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Laravel\Socialite\Two\AbstractProvider;
use Laravel\Socialite\Two\ProviderInterface;
use Laravel\Socialite\Two\User;
class LinkedInProvider extends AbstractProvider implements ProviderInterface
{
/**
* The scopes being requested.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $scopes = ['r_basicprofile', 'r_emailaddress'];
/**
* The separating character for the requested scopes.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $scopeSeparator = ' ';
/**
* The fields that are included in the profile.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fields = [
'id', 'first-name', 'last-name', 'formatted-name',
'email-address', 'headline', 'location', 'industry', 'positions',
'public-profile-url', 'picture-url', 'picture-urls::(original)',
];
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
protected function getAuthUrl($state)
{
return $this->buildAuthUrlFromBase('https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization', $state);
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
protected function getTokenUrl()
{
return 'https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken';
}
/**
* Get the POST fields for the token request.
*
* #param string $code
* #return array
*/
protected function getTokenFields($code)
{
return parent::getTokenFields($code) + ['grant_type' => 'authorization_code'];
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
protected function getUserByToken($token)
{
$fields = implode(',', $this->fields);
$url = 'https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:('.$fields.')';
$response = $this->getHttpClient()->get($url, [
'headers' => [
'x-li-format' => 'json',
'Authorization' => 'Bearer '.$token,
],
]);
return json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
protected function mapUserToObject(array $user)
{
return (new User)->setRaw($user)->map([
'id' => $user['id'], 'nickname' => null, 'name' => Arr::get($user, 'formattedName'),
'email' => Arr::get($user, 'emailAddress'), 'avatar' => Arr::get($user, 'pictureUrl'),
'avatar_original' => Arr::get($user, 'pictureUrls.values.0'),
]);
}
/**
* Set the user fields to request from LinkedIn.
*
* #param array $fields
* #return $this
*/
public function fields(array $fields)
{
$this->fields = $fields;
return $this;
}
}
But now, I've got this error :
Type error: Argument 1 passed to Laravel\Socialite\Two\AbstractProvider::__construct() must be an instance of Illuminate\Http\Request, instance of Illuminate\Foundation\Application given, called in G:\laragon\www\localhost\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\ProviderRepository.php on line 201
I know I can install Socialite Manager, but I just want to overwrite the fields list to add new field (like position and industry)

Answer 1

You shouldn't have to overwrite/extend the whole class. In the Laravel\Socialite\Two\User object that is being created, there is a $user property, which contains the raw information the provider sent back.
When making the request, you can set the fields you want LinkedIn to return in your controller method:
public function redirectToProvider()
{
$fields = [
'id', 'first-name', 'last-name', 'formatted-name',
'email-address', 'headline', 'location', 'industry',
'public-profile-url', 'picture-url', 'picture-urls:(original)',
'positions', 'summary' // <-- additional fields here
];
return Socialite::driver('linkedin')->fields($fields)->redirect();
}
You can see two additional fields being requested, positions and summary, which aren't included by default.
Happy hacking!
