Passport-Google-Oath-Tutorial

This is the repo for my blog post on How to Implement Authentication in Node JS with Passport & JWT. You can find the article at https://jacquesikot.hashnode.dev/

Installation

First of all, you need to get your GOOGLE_API_KEY & GOOGLE_API_SECRET from your google cloud console. To do this, login to your google cloud console. On the the top navigation bar, create a new project and name it. When this is done, navigate to the project dashoard, and on the side navigation go to APIs & Services > Oath Consent Screen. Setup the details of your consent screen, once done, navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials, create new Oauth credentails and get your API key and secret. create a .env file from the sample.env file provided, pass any random string as JWT_KEY and use PORT = 3000 then run:

npm install

Usage

Once the dependencies are installed, run:

npm run watch

after that, in a new terminal, start your development server with:

npm run dev

To login or signup a new google user open your web browser and run http://localhost:3000/api/auth/google. You will be redirected to the callback URL, and the user object and jwt token will be returned.
