Usage

Configure Strategy

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.

const GoogleStrategy = require('passport-token-google').Strategy

passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    fetchGoogleUser(profile, accessToken)
      .then((user) => done(null, user))
      .catch((err) => {
        // Handle the error
        done(null, {})
      });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate('google-token') to authenticate requests.

router.get('/auth/google/token', passport.authenticate('google-token'), someFunction);

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.
