Triggering Javascript Code from PHP Laravel Controller

Question

I'm using OAuth for login in my Laravel Controller. Its working fine but the thing is when the user is registered for the first time, I wanna trigger the HTML 5 geolocation API to fetch the user's current location and do some mixpanel stuff. Earlier I was using AJAX in the JS for the login so there was no such problem but now that I've implemented a complete server side solution, I'm stuck with this one problem.

The Laravel Controller code looks something like this :

       function callback(){
          \\ fetch the access token and graph data
          if($res = \Auth::mjAuthenticate('facebook', $fbData)){                    
                $user = \Auth::scope()->getUser();                          

                return \Redirect::to('events'); 
            }
            if (\Auth::mjRegister('facebook', $fbData)) {

                $user = \Auth::scope()->getUser();                                      

                return \Redirect::to('events');
            }

            return $this->handleFailure('Some Problem Occured');
        }

The Earlier JS Code was :

             ajax
                .post('auth/login', {
                    data: {
                        oauth_provider: 'facebook',
                        oauth_token: accessToken
                    },
                    cache: false
                })
                .done(function(data) {                                              

                    mixpanel.track('User Logged In', {
                        id: data.resource.id,
                        provider: 'Facebook',
                        email: data.resource.email,
                        first_name: data.resource.first_name,
                        last_name: data.resource.last_name
                    });
                    if (data.msg == 'Resource registered') {
                      if(navigator.geolocation){
                      // Prompt for Allow Deny Geolocation popup.
                      }
                    }
                 });

Not getting the question. Where are you stuck exactly ? If I read just the question which is : Triggering Javascript Code from PHP Laravel Controller. The answer would be : Use echo " function(); "; or something similar. you're not technically calling the function in PHP, but this as close as your going to get. — brute_force, Oct 03 '15 at 07:33
Is doing echo "" is right ? Is there any other right way to do this thing? I'm stuck at how do I execute some client side JS code during the PHP code execution as shown above. — Param Singh, Oct 03 '15 at 07:36

How are you getting to `function callback` - is it via a form submission, or a link on a page, etc, etc ? — Chris, Oct 03 '15 at 11:00
No, its a route function endpoint like Route::get('fb-login-callback', 'FacebookLogin@callback'); — Param Singh, Oct 03 '15 at 11:05
