Google oauth & apis how to do it

Question

I can\'t find any documentation on using google oauth and google apis which I understand. At the moment, I am doing this, but it is not a complete guide: https://developers.goog

Have you had a look at PassportJS? It has a very solid implementation for Google

I have done something similar for Facebook and will paste it here in case it helps:

So firstly, I added the below into my node app:

var passport = require('passport');
var FacebookStrategy = require('passport-facebook').Strategy;

Then, the below:

app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

Then, the below:

passport.serializeUser(function(user, done){
    done(null, user.id);
});

passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done){
    userModel.findById(id, function(err, user){
        done(err, user);
    });
});

passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
clientID: config.facebook.appID,
clientSecret: config.facebook.appSecret,
callbackURL: config.facebook.callbackURL,
profileFields: ['id', 'displayName', 'photos', 'emails', 'birthday', 'location', 'bio', 'likes.limit(100)']
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done){
    //Do whatever I want
}
)
);

I won't explain all this but - see if it helps you with your Google apps integration. Good luck!
