OAuth 2.0 Client VS google-api-php-client

League/oauth2-client has a lot of implementations

Have a look on this one https://oauth2-client.thephpleague.com/

In regards to oauth the phpleague packages are fairly popular. Again, the flow requires some redirect dancing so not something that can be (simply) just a single boolean-returning method on the PHP side. Additionally, oauth is a relatively weak standard (Especially where you want to verify identity) in which case platform specific actions/tweaks are needed hence why most use platform-specific oauth libraries. OIDC builds upon oauth to standardize the flow, including getting the identity, but it isn't supported by all platforms offering oauth.

For the client side, I'll be using the library league/oauth2-client.

"Login with Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc": That's called OAuth2 and quite easy to implement. This package is good OAuth2 client to start.

I'd recommend using a library - for Azure AD OAuth we've been using https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client + https://github.com/thenetworg/oauth2-azure (see also https://oauth2-client.thephpleague.com/providers/thirdparty/ )

For Azure AD, I'd recommend the combination of https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client for the authentication part (getting the token) and the Microsoft Graph SDK for then using the token to get information about the user https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-php

Here's a good example of that: https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client/blob/master/.gitattributes

In Ruby on Rails GoogleAPI it is done by special return_url - urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob. When a user granted their permission, the code is sent there and then Google notifies the application itself, so after granting permission user just log in into their account. Is there a similar thing for PHP or it's done different way? I found this repo https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client but looks like it is deprecated and might not work.

API client for PHP

I'll insert the link here as well for convenient purpose. https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client

in this walkthrough, we'll be modifying our existing laravel 8 restful(ish) api to accept logins via google and to read data about the user's google drive via the google api.

I am using this https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client

I've been trying to use the Google Cloud Client Library for PHP and the Google APIs PHP Client github but all of the samples start with autoload.php in a vendor subfolder that doesn't download anywhere and i'm not sure what that's supposed to do.
