Disqus SSO

A simple Laravel packages used to generate payload for the Disqus SSO feature.

Installation

• Install the package via composer:

composer require modbase/disqus-sso

• Add the service provider to app/config/app.php:

Modbase\Disqus\DisqusServiceProvider::class,

• Add the alias to app/config/app.php:

'DisqusSSO' => Modbase\Disqus\Facades\DisqusSSO::class,

• Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish

Configuration

Open your .env file and fill in your DISQUS_PUBLIC_KEY and DISQUS_SECRET_KEY keys. You can find those at your Disqus applications page.

Usage

Using this package is very easy. Add the following JavaScript code before the Disqus initialisation:

var disqus_config = function () {
    // The generated payload which authenticates users with Disqus
    this.page.remote_auth_s3 = '{{ DisqusSSO::payload(Auth::user()) }}';
    this.page.api_key = '{{ DisqusSSO::publicKey() }}';
}

Note that I'm using the Blade syntax here, which is not required of course.

The payload function accepts two different types of input: a) An array with the id, username, email, avatar and url of the user you're trying to authenticate. See the Disqus help for more information about these. b) A laravel Model instance, for example Auth::user() as shown in the example.
