This package allows you to share content in Linkedin with the v2 API

You can install this package via composer:

composer require lightit/linkedin-share

In Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the Laravel you should add the service provider to the config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Lightit\LinkedinShare\LinkedinShareServiceProvider::class,
];

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lightit\LinkedinShare\LinkedinShareServiceProvider" --tag="linkedin-share"

After publishing the config file, you should declare the following variables in your .env file.

LINKEDIN_SHARE_REDIRECT_URI={your_redirect_uri}
LINKEDIN_SHARE_CLIENT_ID={your_client_id}
LINKEDIN_SHARE_CLIENT_SECRET={your_client_secret}

You will need the user authentication code ($code) to be able to share content in behalf of the user, you will probabily get this code from the fornt-end of your application.

LinkedinShare::shareNone($code, $text);

LinkedinShare::shareImage($code, $image, $text);

LinkedinShare::shareArticle($code, $url, $text);

If you prefere to share content using the user access_token, you should include an optional parameter to the share functions. Example:

LinkedinShare::shareNone($access_token, $text, 'access_token');

LinkedinShare::getAccessToken($code)
