Methods and functions

The googleAuth(token, clientId) function allows you to use Google's authentication service. It takes the token (credential) and the Client ID (available in the 'credentials' tab of the Google Developer Console) as parameters.

Use the req.body in your authentication route to get the credential:

const token = req.body.credential

By using the googleAuth() function, it is possible to use methods to help handling user data.

The .getUserData() method returns the user's general information as an object:

await googleAuth(token, clientId).getUserData()

The .getUserName() method returns the user's name as a string:

await googleAuth(token, clientId).getUserName()

The .getUserEmail() method returns the user's email address as a string:

await googleAuth(token, clientId).getUserEmail()

The .getUserPfp() method returns the user's profile picture as a string (URL):

await googleAuth(token, clientId).getUserPfp()

The google-auth-struct NPM has a promise-based structure.
