# Steady
composer require socialiteproviders/steady
# Installation & Basic Usage
Please see the Base Installation Guide (opens new window), then follow the provider specific instructions below.
# Prepare OAuth application in Steady
Register an application in your Steady backend under Your Project Settings -> Integration -> API. Steady issues a client ID and client secret and lets you set the redirect URI, which must match the one configured below exactly.
# Add configuration to config/services.php
'steady' => [
'client_id' => env('STEADY_CLIENT_ID'),
'client_secret' => env('STEADY_CLIENT_SECRET'),
'redirect' => env('STEADY_REDIRECT_URI')
],
# Add provider event listener
# Laravel 11+
In Laravel 11, the default EventServiceProvider provider was removed. Instead, add the listener using the listen method on the Event facade, in your AppServiceProvider boot method.
- Note: You do not need to add anything for the built-in socialite providers unless you override them with your own providers.
Event::listen(function (\SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled $event) {
$event->extendSocialite('steady', \SocialiteProviders\Steady\Provider::class);
});
Laravel 10 or below
Configure the package's listener to listen for `SocialiteWasCalled` events.Add the event to your listen[] array in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider. See the Base Installation Guide (opens new window) for detailed instructions.
protected $listen = [
\SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled::class => [
// ... other providers
\SocialiteProviders\Steady\SteadyExtendSocialite::class.'@handle',
],
];
# Usage
You should now be able to use the provider like you would regularly use Socialite (assuming you have the facade installed):
return Socialite::driver('steady')->redirect();
# Returned User fields
idnameemailavatarfirst_namelast_name
nickname is always null; Steady does not expose usernames.
# Reading the user's subscription
Steady's whole purpose is memberships, so the provider exposes the subscription
the user holds for your publication. Pass the access token you already received
from user():
$user = Socialite::driver('steady')->user();
$subscription = Socialite::driver('steady')->getSubscriptionByToken($user->token);
$state = $subscription['attributes']['state'] ?? null; // e.g. "active"
The method returns null when the user has no subscription. Useful attributes
include state, period, currency, monthly-amount, expires-at,
rss-feed-url, is-gift and shipping-address.
# Refreshing the access token
Steady access tokens expire after seven days, refresh tokens after a year, so
store $user->refreshToken alongside the access token and exchange it with
Socialite's built-in refresh:
$token = Socialite::driver('steady')->refreshToken($refreshToken);
$token->token; // the new access token
$token->refreshToken; // rotate the stored refresh token
$token->expiresIn;
