Extend Opauth¶
Extend Opauth core¶
The following components of Opauth v1 is fully extensible:
- Request parser
- Opauth makes decision on which strategy, method, action to call based on URL.
- You can override this if you wish to make a different decision.
- Refer to
Request/Parser.phpandParserInterface.phpfor more details.
- HTTP Client
- Opauth uses by default cURL for making http requests and has some other built-in clients.
- Your own http client can be created if none of the built-in ones fits your needs.
- Refer to
HttpClientInterface.phpfor more details if you wish to create your own HTTP clients.
- Strategy
- Strategies are specific instructions for Opauth on how to handle 3rd-party provider’s authentication steps, which can be hugely different from one to other.
- See Available strategies for known list of Opauth-managed and community-contributed strategies.
- Or see the Strategy contribution guide below if you would like to author your own.
- Omit Opauth class
- You can even choose not to use the
Opauthclass and just use the Strategies directly if needed, although this will require additional code in your application. This possibility has been made possible based on users requesting for this in the 0.4 cycle. In most cases you can probably still useOpauthclass now and use a custom request parser class to bend it to your needs.
- You can even choose not to use the

To start, you might want to refer to either of the following strategies as guide:
