laravel login with google account - laravel

Question

I am making an application and I want users to login with their google account. I have user oauth-4-laravel and I have this:
UserController.php
// get data from input
$code = Input::get('code');
// get google service
$googleService = Artdarek\OAuth\Facade\OAuth::consumer("Google");
if (!empty($code)) {
// This was a callback request from google, get the token
$token = $googleService->requestAccessToken($code);
// Send a request with it
$result = json_decode($googleService->request('https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo'), true);
$user = DB::select('select id from users where email = ?', array($result['email']));
if (empty($user)) {
$data = new User;
$data->Username = $result['name'];
$data->email = $result['email'];
$data->first_name = $result['given_name'];
$data->last_name = $result['family_name'];
$data->save();
}
if (Auth::attempt(array('email' => $result['email']))) {
return Redirect::to('/');
} else {
echo 'error';
}
}
// if not ask for permission first
else {
// get googleService authorization
$url = $googleService->getAuthorizationUri();
// return to facebook login url
return Redirect::to((string) $url);
}
}
After this i get successfully user info and can save user name, in my database. The problem is that after this I want to redirect user to home page and can't do this because with normal login i chec authentication:
if (Auth::attempt(array('email' => Input::get('email'), 'password' => Input::get('password')))) {
return Response::json(["redirect_to" => "/"]);
and with google login i get onlu username , user id and email. How to login directly the user after google login?

If you need to log an existing user instance into your application, you may simply call the login method with the instance:
$user = User::find(1);
Auth::login($user);
This is equivalent to logging in a user via credentials using the attempt method.
