How to get birthday gender and religion information using laravel socialite implementing facebook Api

Question

I just started using laravel, I am using laravel socialite.

I am able to get username and other data by using following code. But how do I get other data like birthd

Answer 1

In socialite redirect to facebook method :

    public function redirectToFacebook()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('facebook')->fields([
            'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'gender', 'birthday'
        ])->scopes([
            'email', 'user_birthday'
        ])->redirect();
    }

To get the birth date.

Then to use it in your own models :

    public function handleFacebookCallback()
    {
        $facebook_user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->fields([
            'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'gender', 'birthday'
        ])->user();
    }

Note: it will ask for the user to accept sharing their birth date when they connect to Facebook though.
