Does this support google authentication with react?

[SanjivG10]

I am using react google login. How can I handle authentication with standard user (not custom) from django all-auth with react front-end. Is there any api-endpoint for google authentication from react front-end?

You have to create views for your social login endpoints. For common OAuth providers like Google and Facebook, this is fairly simple. Just add a class-based view inheriting from SocialLoginView and tell it to use the GoogleOAuth2Adapter.

# views.py
from rest_auth.registration.views import SocialLoginView
from allauth.socialaccount.providers.google.views import GoogleOAuth2Adapter

class GoogleLogin(SocialLoginView):
    """allauth social login view for Google"""
    adapter_class = GoogleOAuth2Adapter

Then you simply need to enable the endpoint:

# urls.py
from users.views import GoogleLogin
urlpatterns = [
   # ...
   url(r'^rest-auth/google/$', GoogleLogin.as_view(), name='google_login'),
   #  ...

The onSuccess method of your GoogleLogin component in React has to make a post request to that endpoint:

    Axios
      .post(`${process.env.REACT_APP_DJANGO_HOST}/rest-auth/google/`, {
        access_token,
        code,
      })
     .then((response) => {
        const token = res.data.key;
        // save token in state etc.
     })

The tokens that you have to send are response.accessToken and response.tokenId (of your component's response object).

@SanjivG10 Did this work? The DRF endpoint asks for access_token and code, I am just confused which is what from the response I got from Google.

[SanjivG10]

@adhibhuta I think it should work. You get response from the Google and then try to get the access_key from the object and send the post request. I haven't checked it myself though

I'll play around with it shortly...

[SanjivG10]
