braseidon/steamauth

A package to authenticate using Steam's API.

Installation

1. Edit your composer.json to require "sgtaziz/steamauth": "~1.0".
2. Run composer update to download and install the package.
3. Copy vendor/sgtaziz/steamauth/src/config/steamauth.php to config/steamauth.php.
4. Edit steamauth.php to include your Steam API key.
5. Open up config/app.php and add 'sgtaziz\SteamAuth\SteamAuthServiceProvider' as a service provider. You must also add 'SteamAuth' => 'sgtaziz\SteamAuth\Facades\SteamAuth' to aliases.

Documentation

Currently, the only real usable function is SteamAuth::Auth(). Example:

<?php
	$user = SteamAuth::Auth();
	if ($user)
	{
		$name = $user['personaname'];
		$steamid64 = $user['steamid'];
		echo $name . ' has the steamid ' . $steamid64;
	}

SteamAuth::Auth() will automatically redirect the user to Steam's website to login. Once authenticated, it will return to the previous page and $user will be a valid variable if Steam was used successfully to authenticate the user. SteamAuth::Auth() will also return an associative array with these values:

Note

This is not meant to be used as a way to authenticate users on your website, but simply a way to get their steam information. Once you do that, you may store it in your own database and use that plus SteamAuth to authenticate users.
