To share posts in facebook, shareable trait looks like this...
trait Shareable
{
public function getShareUrl($type = 'facebook')
{
$url = $this->{Arr::get($this->shareOptions, 'url')} ? $this->{Arr::get($this->shareOptions, 'url')} : url()->current();
if ($type == 'facebook') {
$query = urldecode(http_build_query([
'app_id' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
'href' => $url,
'display' => 'page',
'title' => urlencode($this->{Arr::get($this->shareOptions, 'columns.title')})
]));
return 'https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?' . $query;
}
In blade:
href="{{ $post->getShareUrl('facebook') }}"
Configured app ID in .env but throws error..
Error: Invalid App ID: The provided app ID does not look like a valid app ID.
what am I missing?
As a good practice you should have a file in config who uses env() and then use config()in your trait.'
Are you sure to have the good APP_ID ? Do you have many .env files depending of your app state ? (dev, prod, staging). If so, are you sur you put the FACEBOOK_APP_ID in the right .env file ?
Thanks for reply! As long as I don't use
php artisan config:cacheenv() in Trait retrieves from .env.
I need to cache config files in production. So as per your suggestion, I created, shareable.php in config/ as
env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
];
And In the trait,
$query = urldecode(http_build_query([
'app_id' => config('FACEBOOK_APP_ID'),
....
Still dont work , what am I missing?
config/shareable.php
<?php
return [
'facebook' => [
'app_id' => env('FACEBOOK_APP_ID')
]
];
Then in the code use it as config('shareable.facebook.app_id');
