Facebook SDK v5 integration with Laravel 5.0

Question

I'm trying to make a guide on how to integrate Facebook SDK v5 with Laravel 5.0. Have anyone done this before?

First of all i added "facebook/php-sdk-v4" : "~5.0" in composer.json see documentatione here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/php/gettingstarted

{
  "require" : {
    "facebook/php-sdk-v4" : "~5.0"
  }
}

Next step composer install in CMD

composer install

Next i added a route:

Route::get('/test', 'Facebookintegration@test');

Next i returned a view:

public function test() {

    return view('testpage');

}

Next i try to run the info in the view testpage

<?php

require_once URL::asset('vendor/autoload.php');

$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([
'app_id' => 'YOUR_APP_ID',
'app_secret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'default_graph_version' => 'v2.5',
]);

?>

Here is where the problems start and this is my current error

main(): Failed opening required 'http://localhost/fbintegration/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear')

anyone know how to correctly link yo the files?

Use this package for Laravel instead.

The code below is to post to facebook after retrieving token from my DB

Route

  Route::post('schedulePost', 'HomeController@ exampelSchedulePost');

Composer.json

 "require": {
            "sammyk/laravel-facebook-sdk": "^3.0"
        }

Provider and aliases , refer to Docs

'providers' => [
    SammyK\LaravelFacebookSdk\LaravelFacebookSdkServiceProvider::class,
    ];

'aliases' => [
    'Facebook' => SammyK\LaravelFacebookSdk\FacebookFacade::class,
    ];



public function exampelSchedulePost(Request $request)
      { 
         $postPermission = 0;
         $profileToken = DB::table('profiles')->where('user_id',Auth::user()->id)->first();
          $fb = App::make('SammyK\LaravelFacebookSdk\LaravelFacebookSdk');
         if($profileToken){
          try {
            $response = $fb->get('/'.$profileToken->uid.'/permissions', $profileToken->access_token);
            $permissions = $response->getGraphEdge();
            foreach ($permissions as $item) {
              if($item['permission'] == 'publish_actions'){
                if($item['status']== 'declined'){
                  $login_link = $fb->getLoginUrl(['email,publish_actions'], 'http://www.URL.com/facebook/callback');
                  return redirect($login_link);
                  //Get Permission again
                }
              }
            }
          } catch(\Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
            dd($e->getMessage());
          }
         }else{
           $login_link = $fb->getLoginUrl(['email,publish_actions'], 'http://www.URL.com/facebook/callback');
           return redirect($login_link);
         }

It looks like the path issue when you want to require file in your view.

You can try something like this in you view template:

require_once ($app['path.base'].'/vendor/facebook/graph-sdk/src/Facebook/autoload.php');

And the I believe you can get Facebook\Facebook class without problem.
