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-google2').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 id_token sent as access_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.

Loopback 3.X support

Complaint with UserIdentity and User model of loopback

The module can be used to authenticate id_token sent by client side(android,ios or web) on the loopback as access_token in the callbackPath as GET argument.

Add this to providers.json as described in tutorial!.

 "google-login": {
    "provider": "google",
    "module": "passport-token-google2",
    "clientID": "{google-client-id-1}",

    "callbackPath": "/auth/google/token",
    "scope": ["email", "profile"],
    "failureFlash": true,
    "json": true,
