How do you extend Socialite with a custom provider?

I had the same objective and it's clear that socialite architecture is missing something to cleanly register new service providers without touching L5 core source code.

While I'm not 100% happy, I nevertheless find a workable solution.

In my application I wanted to add "Orange" as a new oAuth2 OpenID/Connect provider. Obviously Orange does not enter in Socialite model One/Two and not only I had to extend SocialiteManager + SocialiteServiceProvider. I also had to write a new Provider to support a full OpenID/Connect OAuth profile.

This being said if you extend Socialite Manager/provider and register your newly create provider in place of original Socialite one. It works.

• use Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteManager;
• class MySocialManager extends SocialiteManager {
• protected function createOrangeDriver() {
• $config = $this->app['config']['services.orange'];
• // warning provider class must be a full namespace path
• return $this->buildProvider(
• // Orange require an OpenID/Connect provider
• // for basic OAuth2 login use standard Socialite model One/Two
• 'GeoToBe\Http\SocialAuth\OrangeProvider', $config
• );

• } -}

• use Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider;

• class SocialServiceProvider extends SocialiteServiceProvider {
• public function register() {
• $this->app->bindShared('Laravel\Socialite\Contracts\Factory', function($app)
• {
• return new MySocialManager($app);
• });
• }
• }

In APP/config comment Socialite provider and add your own one.

This worked for me!! Thanks so much!!
