Social Ninja - ASP.NET Core Boilerplate

SocialNinja is a boilerplate solution, built to demonstrate social authentication and how we can handle the user data obtained as a result of these logins in our application using ASP.NET Core (.NET 6)

How do Social Logins work?

Social Login providers implement user authentication by means of OAuth2 protocol. OAuth2 or OpenAuthentication2 is an opensource authentication protocol, which facilitates authenticating a user over an authentication provider for a requesting party and then securely exchanging user identity, without having the need for user credentials. ASP.NET Core provides seamless integration of this by means of its built-in Authorization middleware and on top of it provides Identity middlewares exclusive for popular Identity Providers such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub etc.
