Laravel socialite authentication instance of Laravel\Socialite\Two\User given Error

i am tired of this error, i have set up everything perfectly.

Routes:

Route::get('facebook', ['as' => 'facebook', 'uses' => 'UserControllers\UserController@facebookLogin']);
Route::get('callback', ['as' => 'callback', 'uses' => 'UserControllers\UserController@callBack']);

Function:

public function facebookLogin()
{
    return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();
}

/**
 * Obtain the user information from facebook.
 *
 * @return Response
 */
public function callBack()
{
    $user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
    auth()->login($user);
    return redirect('/home');

    // $user->token;
}

$user = User::create(['name'=>$user->getName(), 'email'=>$user->getEmail()]);

When i create user in the database like this auth()->login($user); does not throw any error. but using only fb returned object it throws this error. Now this is clear i should use use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable; this in my user model. so found a solution and added these lines to User Model.

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticableTrait;
class User extends Eloquent  implements Authenticatable
{
    use AuthenticableTrait;

but it still throws the same error.

The Socialite user() and your User model are two different things.

Your User model is related to the information stored in your database while the user returned through socialite is related to the information given to you by Facebook (or another provider)

You can find more information on logging a user through Sociliate Laravel 5.2 Socialite Facebook Login
