google-oauth2-web-client's Introduction

google-oauth2-web-client

Code Climate Build Status

Login with Google using OAuth2 for client-side web app, completes login flow discribed in Using OAuth 2.0 for Client-side Applications.

This library is a spin-off project from HTML5 Word Cloud. The original commits can be found in here.

Simple usage

  1. Load the script with <script> or as an AMD module.
  2. Create an instance of the library with var go2 = new GO2(options), where options should contain at least the clientId you got from the Google API Console.
  3. Attach your callbacks to go2.onlogin and go2.onlogout. You will be able to get the accessToken from onlogin callback or from the go2.getAccessToken() method.
  4. (Immediate mode) At this point, you may call go2.login(false, true) and to silently test and regain the previous approval. If it's approved, onlogin callback will fire.
  5. Call go2.login() to start an interactive login process, with a popup. The call must be a result of a user action, such as a click, to prevent popup blocker.

Check out comments in the script source code for detail.

##Options

  • clientId: string (required)
  • redirectUri: string (optional)
  • scope: string | string[] (optional)
  • popupHeight: number (optional)
  • popupWidth: number (optional)
  • responseType: string (optional)
  • accessType: string (optional)

FAQ

Why not use library supplied by Google and reinvent the wheel?

Because I can; also because the library is light-weighted and transparent to me. For some reason, I cannot get auth library to load without getting the entire client library; onload callback never fires.

You are very welcome to use the library from Google since it will be better supported.

What can I do with the accessToken or code I got once the login is completed?

You can

  • Use the token to request data from Google's server directly from the client-side web app in the browser (with JSON-P or CORS), for example, this is how HTML5 Word Cloud does it.
  • Send the token to your own server, verify it with Google to associate a Google account with a user session on your site. Documentation here.

Typescript support

Include the src/google-oauth2.d.ts for Typescript support.

Testing

To run tests, first you would need to pull the required QUnit and Sinon.JS library by running

git submodule init
git submodule update

Then, start a localhost HTTP server, for example,

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8009

Test with local fake OAuth endpoint

Point your browser to http://localhost:8009/test/?localtest=true to start testing. You will need to disable popup blocker to properly run the interactive test cases.

Test with the real Google OAuth endpoint

Point your browser to http://127-0-0-1.org.uk:8009/test/ to start testing. You will need to disable popup blocker to properly run the interactive test cases.

Writing tests

You will find all the information you need to write test cases on the QUnit and Sinon.JS website. All code submission are expected to accompany with test cases.

google-oauth2-web-client's Issues

The next step after getting token

Hi.

I'm working with Google OAuth 2.0 now and found your repo here. I want ask you one question about auth and the next step scenario.

I have an single page application that do not access any Google services and API. But I want authenticate my users with Google accounts to make life simple.

And here is the situation. OK, I will redirect user to Google and after success I will receive a token, but I don't need a token in the future. I just wan to know whether user was authenticated. If I'll save a token to some place (cookie, session) it will expire in an hour, and next time user can be not logged and will get an access, or I need redirect him to Google every time he come back. If I will deal with user's email he also can be unauthenticated bu to have email in cookie / other state storage. I was taking a look to other types of API usage, but I don't need user's data, only auth. So, to decide whether user was authenticated or not I need check a token, but what is next?

Have you tried something I'd described? What is your opinion in this case?

go2.destory typo, should be "destroy"

This is a minor issue, but it would probably be an improvement to replace all mentions of "destory" with the string "destroy", which is the usual English spelling of that word.

As this seems to be part of the public interface, such a change would normally require a bump of the major version number, but I see that the current version is 0.1.3 so the interface is not considered to be stable.
