Strategy to authenticate with Google via OAuth2 in OmniAuth.
Get your API key at: https://code.google.com/apis/console/
For more details, read the Google docs: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2
Add to your Gemfile
:
gem "omniauth-google-oauth2"
Then bundle install
.
Here's an example for adding the middleware to a Rails app in config/initializers/omniauth.rb
:
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :google_oauth2, ENV["GOOGLE_KEY"], ENV["GOOGLE_SECRET"]
end
You can now access the OmniAuth Google OAuth2 URL: /auth/google_oauth2
For more examples please check out examples/omni_auth.rb
You can configure several options, which you pass in to the provider
method via a hash:
-
scope
: A comma-separated list of permissions you want to request from the user. See the Google OAuth 2.0 Playground for a full list of available permissions. Caveats:- The
userinfo.email
anduserinfo.profile
scopes are used by default. By defining your ownscope
, you override these defaults. If you need these scopes, don't forget to add them yourself! - Scopes starting with
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/
do not need that prefix specified. So while you can use the smaller scopebooks
since that permission starts with the mentioned prefix, you should use the full scope URLhttps://docs.google.com/feeds/
to access a user's docs, for example.
- The
-
prompt
: A space-delimited list of string values that determines whether the user is re-prompted for authentication and/or consent. Possible values are:none
: No authentication or consent pages will be displayed; it will return an error if the user is not already authenticated and has not pre-configured consent for the requested scopes. This can be used as a method to check for existing authentication and/or consent.consent
: The user will always be prompted for consent, even if he has previously allowed access a given set of scopes.select_account
: The user will always be prompted to select a user account. This allows a user who has multiple current account sessions to select one amongst them.
If no value is specified, the user only sees the authentication page if he is not logged in and only sees the consent page the first time he authorizes a given set of scopes.
-
image_aspect_ratio
: The shape of the user's profile picture. Possible values are:original
: Picture maintains its original aspect ratio.square
: Picture presents equal width and height.
Defaults to
original
. -
image_size
: The size of the user's profile picture. The image returned will have width equal to the given value and variable height, according to theimage_aspect_ratio
chosen. Additionally, a picture with specific width and height can be requested by setting this option to a hash withwidth
andheight
as keys. If onlywidth
orheight
is specified, a picture whose width or height is closest to the requested size and requested aspect ratio will be returned. Defaults to the original width and height of the picture. -
name
: The name of the strategy. The default name isgoogle_oauth2
but it can be changed to any value, for examplegoogle
. The OmniAuth URL will thus change to/auth/google
and theprovider
key in the auth hash will then returngoogle
. -
access_type
: Defaults tooffline
, so a refresh token is sent to be used when the user is not present at the browser. Can be set toonline
. Note that if you need a refresh token, google requires you to also to specify the optionprompt: 'select_account consent'
, which is not a default.
Here's an example of a possible configuration where the strategy name is changed, the user is asked for extra permissions, the user is always prompted to select his account when logging in and the user's profile picture is returned as a thumbnail:
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :google_oauth2, ENV["GOOGLE_KEY"], ENV["GOOGLE_SECRET"],
{
:name => "google",
:scope => "userinfo.email, userinfo.profile, plus.me, http://gdata.youtube.com",
:prompt => "select_account",
:image_aspect_ratio => "square",
:image_size => 50
}
end
Here's an example of an authentication hash available in the callback by accessing request.env["omniauth.auth"]
:
{
:provider => "google_oauth2",
:uid => "123456789",
:info => {
:name => "John Doe",
:email => "john@company_name.com",
:first_name => "John",
:last_name => "Doe",
:image => "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/url/photo.jpg"
},
:credentials => {
:token => "token",
:refresh_token => "another_token",
:expires_at => 1354920555,
:expires => true
},
:extra => {
:raw_info => {
:id => "123456789",
:email => "user@domain.example.com",
:verified_email => true,
:name => "John Doe",
:given_name => "John",
:family_name => "Doe",
:link => "https://plus.google.com/123456789",
:picture => "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/url/photo.jpg",
:gender => "male",
:birthday => "0000-06-25",
:locale => "en",
:hd => "company_name.com"
}
}
}
For devise, you should also make sure you have an OmniAuth callback controller setup
class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
def google_oauth2
# You need to implement the method below in your model (e.g. app/models/user.rb)
@user = User.find_for_google_oauth2(request.env["omniauth.auth"], current_user)
if @user.persisted?
flash[:notice] = I18n.t "devise.omniauth_callbacks.success", :kind => "Google"
sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication
else
session["devise.google_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
redirect_to new_user_registration_url
end
end
end
and bind to or create the user
def self.find_for_google_oauth2(access_token, signed_in_resource=nil)
data = access_token.info
user = User.where(:email => data["email"]).first
unless user
user = User.create(name: data["name"],
email: data["email"],
password: Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
)
end
user
end
