Node JS Google Login Passport Example

Goolge login in node js with passport example; In this tutorial, i will show you complete guide on how to implement a google login authentication system in node js express using passport js.

Google Login with Passport + Node JS

  • Step 1 – Create Google Login Console App
  • Step 2 – Install Node Express JS Setup
  • Step 3 – Import Packages and routes in app.js
  • Step 4 – Create views
  • Step 5 – Start Development Server

Step 1 – Create Google Login Console App

Create a client ID and client secret using its Google API Console. So, You need to follow below steps once you open Google API Console:

  • From the project drop-down, select an existing project, or create a new one by selecting Create a new project
  • In the sidebar under “APIs & Services”, select Credentials
  • In the Credentials tab, select the Create credentials drop-down list, and choose OAuth client ID.
  • Under Application type, select Web application.
  • In Authorized redirect URI use http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback
  • Press the Create button and copy the generated client ID and client secret

Note: If Google doesn’t support http://localhost:3000, then use http://127.0.0.1:3000

Step 2 – Install Node Express JS Setup

Run following command on terminal to create node js express directory:

mkdir GoogleAuth

Then open GoogleAuth directory with any text editor. And use the following command to enter your GoogleAuth app directories, So open your cmd and run the following command:

cd GoogleAuth

Now, execute the following command on terminal to install express, ejs, express-session and passport:

npm init
npm install express ejs express-session passport passport-google-oauth --save
express-flash

Flash is an extension of connect-flash with the ability to define a flash message and render it without redirecting the request.
In this node js mysql crud tutorial express flash is used to display a warning, error and information message

express-session

Express-session is used to made a session as like in PHP. In this node js mysql crud tutorial, session is needed as the express requirement of express-flash.

EJS

To render HTML pages for login and profile

passport

Social Authentication package for Node.js

passport-google-oauth

Google authentication module by Passport.js

Step 3 – Import Packages and routes in app.js

Create a file app.js in the root folder of your app and add the following code:

// app.js
/*  EXPRESS */
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const session = require('express-session');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(session({
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: true,
  secret: 'SECRET' 
}));
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.render('pages/auth');
});
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port , () => console.log('App listening on port ' + port));

The above code will set up our web server, Now you will add the code related to the passport at the bottom of the app.js file:

// app.js
/*  PASSPORT SETUP  */
const passport = require('passport');
var userProfile;
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.get('/success', (req, res) => res.send(userProfile));
app.get('/error', (req, res) => res.send("error logging in"));
passport.serializeUser(function(user, cb) {
  cb(null, user);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(obj, cb) {
  cb(null, obj);
});

To implement Google Authentication in our app. So, Add the following code at the bottom of your app.js file, use your client Id and Secret instead of placeholders:

// app.js
/*  Google AUTH  */
 
const GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth').OAuth2Strategy;
const GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = 'our-google-client-id';
const GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = 'our-google-client-secret';
passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
      userProfile=profile;
      return done(null, userProfile);
  }
));
 
app.get('/auth/google', 
  passport.authenticate('google', { scope : ['profile', 'email'] }));
 
app.get('/auth/google/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('google', { failureRedirect: '/error' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect success.
    res.redirect('/success');
  });

Complete source code of app.js file; as shown below:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth').OAuth2Strategy;
const GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = 'our-google-client-id';
const GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = 'our-google-client-secret';
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(session({
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: true,
  secret: 'SECRET' 
}));
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.render('pages/auth');
});
var userProfile;
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.get('/success', (req, res) => res.send(userProfile));
app.get('/error', (req, res) => res.send("error logging in"));
passport.serializeUser(function(user, cb) {
  cb(null, user);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(obj, cb) {
  cb(null, obj);
});
passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
      userProfile=profile;
      return done(null, userProfile);
  }
));
 
app.get('/auth/google', 
  passport.authenticate('google', { scope : ['profile', 'email'] }));
 
app.get('/auth/google/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('google', { failureRedirect: '/error' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect success.
    res.redirect('/success');
  });
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port , () => console.log('App listening on port ' + port));

Step 4 – Create views

Create directory name pages and then create auth directory inside pages. So go to the views directory in your app and create the pages/auth directory.

Inside the pages/auth direcotry, you need to create two views file. The views file is the following:

  • login.ejs
  • success.ejs

Now, open your login.ejs file and update the following code into your file:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Google SignIn</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
    <style>
        body        { padding-top:70px; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
    <div class="jumbotron text-center text-primary">
        <h1><span class="fa fa-lock"></span> Social Authentication</h1>
        <p>Login or Register with:</p>
        <a href="/auth/google" class="btn btn-danger"><span class="fa fa-google"></span> SignIn with Google</a>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html> 

Next, open your success.ejs file and update the following code into your file:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Google SignIn</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!-- load bootstrap css -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <!-- load fontawesome -->
      <style>
          body        { padding-top:70px; }
      </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="jumbotron">
          <h1 class="text-primary  text-center"><span class="fa fa-user"></span> Profile Information</h1>
          <div class="row">
            <div class="col-sm-6">
                <div class="well">
                        <p>
                            <strong>Id</strong>: <%= user.id %><br>
                            <strong>Email</strong>: <%= user.emails[0].value %><br>
                            <strong>Name</strong>: <%= user.displayName %>
                        </p>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html> 

Step 5 – Start Development Server

Run the following command on cmd to run development server:

//run the below command

npm start

after run this command open your browser and hit 

http://127.0.0.1:3000
OR
http://localhost:3000
