Installation Guide

At laravel project install package using composer

The package is compatible with laravel 5.7 so you don't need to set providers or aliases for the package, we're using laravel auto discovery

Get Your Credentials From Google

• Go to Google Developers Console Press Credentials from the sidebar then create project from OAuth consent screen then Click Credentials => Create credentials => OAuth client id, choose it web application and set you Authorized redirect URIs, also you can edit or add new urls later
• You will get Client Id and Client Secret
• Go to your .env file and paste your credentials to be like this

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET

You are now ready to use the package

There is two steps to do any thing for the package, get authenticated url and do the youtube api action

To get the auth url, just go to routes/web.php and do this route or the path you want to use

Route::get('youtube/auth', 'YoutubeUploaderController@auth');

At the controller, you will get the url and you can show it in view file or redirect user to it directly

use Youtube;
public function auth() {
    $redirect_url ='http://localhost/youtube-uploader/public/youtube/callback';  // Upload video path

    return redirect(Youtube::setRedirectUrl($redirect_url)->AuthUrl());
  }

This code will authenticate user then redirect user to another url to do your logic on it, and to do any logic code, you need to add route url to routes/web.php

Route::get('youtube/callback', 'YoutubeUploaderController@callback');

Don't forget to save full path of callback url at google console developer at credential for project

The we will now show our logic of the package

Upload video

public function callback(Request $request) {
      $redirect_url ='http://localhost/youtube-uploader/public/youtube/callback';
      $video = public_path('VIDEO_FILE');
      $image = public_path('IMAGE_FILE');
    	$youtube = Youtube::setRedirectUrl($redirect_url)->upload($video,
            [
                'title' => 'TITLE',
                'description' => 'DESCRIPTION',
                'tags' => ['tag 1', 'tag 2'],
                'category_id' => '22',
            ]
        );

      // Get uploaded video id
      $video_id = $youtube->uploadedVideoId();
}
