Google Plus authorization with Symfony2

Question

We have bundles for Facebook & Twitter authorization for a Symfony2 app. But what about other sites like Google Plus? There isn't any bundle yet, and I would like to know if someone knows about the right direction to how to implement it.

I think Google Plus uses OAuth. Could it be then implemented with a OAuth bundle?

Answer 1

KnpOAuthBundle is deprecated and recommends using HWIOAuthBundle.

HWIOAuthBundle supports several OAuth providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, etc. So you can keep all your authentication logic in 1 bundle. Usage is very easy: configure google resource owner:

hwi_oauth:
    resource_owners:
        google:
            type: google
            client_id: *client_id*
            client_secret: *client_secret
            scope: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile"
    firewall_name: *main firewal name*

And add routings:

google_login:
    pattern: /login/google
hwi_oauth_redirect:
    resource: "@HWIOAuthBundle/Resources/config/routing/redirect.xml"
    prefix:   /connect

To start authentication process simply redirect user to /connect/*provider_name*, e.g. /connect/google

You can check the KnpOAuthBundle (under development) - only the github OAuth provider is implemented though.

You could implemented your own Google OAuth 2.0 Provider (check this) or ask out on IRC, maybe somebody already implemented it.
