This project has been forked from express-4.x-facebook-example by Jared Hanson and adapted to GOOGLE instead of FACEBOOK

This example demonstrates how to use Express 4.x and Passport to authenticate users using Google (oauth2).

Use this example as a starting point for your own web applications.

Instructions

To install this example on your computer, clone the repository and install dependencies.

$ git clone git@github.com:oguennec/express-4.x-google-example.git
$ cd express-4.x-google-example
$ npm install

Alternatively you can run the project in a Docker container (latest Docker image for node tested was running node v7.4.0) npm dependencies will only be installed inside the Docker image Current prerequisite : GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET values must be replaced in server/server.js

$ git clone git@github.com:oguennec/express-4.x-google-example.git
$ cd express-4.x-google-example
$ docker-compose up -d

The example uses environment variables to configure the consumer key and consumer secret needed to access Google's API. Start the server with those variables set to the appropriate credentials.

$ GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=__GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID__ GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=__GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET__ node app/server/server.js

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to see the example in action.
