composer require socialiteproviders/lichess

Installation & Basic Usage

Please see the Base Installation Guide, then follow the provider specific instructions below.

Add configuration to config/services.php

'lichess' => [ 'client_id' => env('LICHESS_CLIENT_ID'), 'client_secret' => env('LICHESS_CLIENT_SECRET'), 'redirect' => env('LICHESS_REDIRECT_URI') ],

According to Lichess.org API reference (2.0.0) Lichess supports unregistered and public clients (no client authentication, choose any unique LICHESS_CLIENT_ID). LICHESS_CLIENT_SECRET is not needed and can be empty. Access tokens are long-lived (expect one year), unless they are revoked. Refresh tokens are not supported.

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('lichess', \SocialiteProviders\Lichess\Provider::class); });

protected $listen = [ \SocialiteProviders\Manager\SocialiteWasCalled::class => [ // ... other providers \SocialiteProviders\Lichess\LichessExtendSocialite::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('lichess')->redirect();
