The task involves implementing Google sign-in functionality for a web application. The solution requires changes to both the front-end and back-end components of the application. The front-end changes will include loading the Google API library, initializing the Google API client, attaching a sign-in event to a button, and handling the sign-in response. The back-end changes will involve setting up a server environment, verifying the Google token, managing user sessions, interacting with a database, and creating relevant endpoints.
auth.js
, we will define functions to initialize the Google API client, attach the sign-in event to the button, handle the sign-in response, and send the token to the back-end.index.html
, we will add the Google sign-in button and include the Google API JavaScript library.// auth.js
// Initialize the Google API client
function initGoogleAuth() {
gapi.load('auth2', function() {
gapi.auth2.init({
client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com',
// Add other necessary configurations
});
});
}
// Attach the sign-in event
function attachSignIn(element) {
const auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
auth2.attachClickHandler(element, {},
function(googleUser) {
const id_token = googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token;
sendTokenToBackend(id_token);
}, function(error) {
alert(JSON.stringify(error, undefined, 2));
});
}
// Helper function to send the token to the back-end
function sendTokenToBackend(token) {
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/api/google-signin');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
xhr.onload = function() {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
// Handle success
} else {
// Handle error
}
};
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({ token: token }));
}
// Call the init function when the page loads
window.onload = function() {
initGoogleAuth();
};
<!-- index.html -->
<!-- Include Google API JavaScript library -->
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js" async defer></script>
<meta name="google-signin-client_id" content="YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com">
<!-- Google Sign-In button -->
<div class="g-signin2" data-onsuccess="onSignIn"></div>
<script src="auth.js"></script>
server.js
, we will set up an Express server, install necessary packages, verify the Google token, manage user sessions, interact with a database, and create endpoints.// server.js
const express = require('express');
const { OAuth2Client } = require('google-auth-library');
const session = require('express-session');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const User = require('./models/User'); // Assuming User model is defined
const app = express();
const client = new OAuth2Client(process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID);
app.use(express.json());
app.use(session({
secret: 'your_secret_key',
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: true,
cookie: { secure: true }
}));
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/your_db', { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
app.post('/api/google-signin', async (req, res) => {
try {
const { token } = req.body;
const ticket = await client.verifyIdToken({
idToken: token,
audience: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
});
const payload = ticket.getPayload();
let user = await User.findOne({ googleId: payload.sub });
if (!user) {
user = new User({
googleId: payload.sub,
email: payload.email,
name: payload.name,
// other user fields
});
await user.save();
}
req.session.userId = user._id;
res.status(200).json({ message: 'User authenticated', user });
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ message: 'Authentication failed', error });
}
});
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`);
});
Remember to replace 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com'
with the actual client ID provided by Google for your application. Also, ensure that the User
model is properly defined and that the database connection string is correct for your environment.
