Socialite: Sign In with Google / GitHub

this is absolutely golden - just what the SaaS doctor ordered

I think this covers most use cases for typical saas like applicaitons for sure

I like how this is followd up by databases and tenancy- the right order of precedence

my use cases go a bit beyond this and I'm looking at using a multi-tier archtecture with a gateway payments app controlling access to tenant apps, each of which are laravel apps, each with classic blade and livewire

for that I'm looking at socialite to log in on the payments app that then permits access to tenant apps using passport.

I dont think I could even entertain this level of complexity if I was still in nodejs landscapre, which is where I came from to come back to PHP and laravel - why did I ever leave ? Laravel is ltterally full stack. It has the tooling. I know I'm likley off my rocker even thinking of this but with Laravel, at least I stand a chance.

you can also use .test domains in github for local environment :) you only have to use ssl which you can simply add by

herd secure

inside of the project. :) in google i don't know

Another great course. I want to share another option to test social authetication. In the laravel herd documentation there is a section for that. https://herd.laravel.com/docs/windows/advanced-usage/social-auth for me is better and easier than expose. Check it out!
