Advanced tools
Passport strategy for authenticating with Google access tokens using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Google in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Google authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-google-token
The Google authentication strategy authenticates users using a Google
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify
callback, which
accepts these credentials and calls done
providing a user, as well as
options
specifying a app ID and app secret.
passport.use(new GoogleTokenStrategy({
clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ googleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate('google-token')
to authenticate requests.
router.get('/auth/google/token', passport.authenticate('google-token'),
function(req, res) {
res.send(req.user);
});
GET request need to have access_token
and optionally the refresh_token
in either the query string or set as a header. If a POST is being preformed they can also be included in the body of the request.
