Using Google Auth

When using seneca-auth the google auth must be initialized using:

..........
    service: {
      "local": {},
      "google" : {
        "clientID" : "your client id",
        "clientSecret" : "app secret",
        "urlhost" : "server host",
        "serviceParams": {
          "scope" : [
            .....
          ]
        }
      }
    }
..........

Note: serviceParams can be used to pass any other parameter to the passport google strategy. More information can be found in the Google documentation.

Other information

There is provided a default seneca action that will prepare user data to a more convenient structure. If this data structure is not matching the expected user data structure used by your application, you can overwrite the seneca action and implement your own google-login-data action.

{role: 'auth', prepare: 'google_login_data'}

The JSON object provided for this actions contains following data from Google login:

• accessToken
• refreshToken
• profile

Note: You can provide also the callbackUrl as part of the options. If not provided then a default value is used.

Default value for callbackUrl: /auth/google/callback
