    "prefer-stable": true
}

here is my file config/app.php:

    'providers' => [
//...
        Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
//...

    ],

 'aliases' => [

//..
        'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
      //...

    ],

here is my controller, that's where i get my error, on this line "Socialite::driver($provider)->redirect()":

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Socialite;

class SocialiteController extends Controller
{
    protected $providers = ["google"];
    public function loginRegister(){
        return view ("socialite.login-register");
    }

    public function redirect (Request $rq){
        $provider = $rq->provider;
        if(in_array($provider,$this->providers)){
            return Socialite::driver($provider)->redirect();
        }
    }
}

here is a screenshoot of the error:

laravel doesn't find anywhere the facade socialite even when i tried to import it manually like that =>"Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite" .. i tried to download again the package and tried also some cmd like composer dump-autoload.., to try regenerates the list of all classes that need to be included in the project but it' won't work. Thanks in advance for any advices and help.

As the error says, it does not find the package Socialite. Try to add the use of the package at the beginning of your controller:

use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;
