Usage

To run this project locally, feel free to clone the repository by:

git clone https://github.com/mangione77/oauth-test

You will also need a .env file with the following data:

PORT=<PORT>
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<GOOGLE CLIENT ID>
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<GOOGLE CLIENT SECRET>
DB_URL=mongodb://<username>:<password>@<at>.mlab.com:<port>/<db> || mongodb://localhost:27017/<db> 
COOKIE_KEY=<COOKIE SECRET>

To get a Google Client ID and a Google Client Secret, you will need to login into Google Developers Console, create a new application and generate new keys. Read below for a great tutorial on doing that.

Then, you must run npm install to update all the dependencies. Once it's done, you can run:

node server/index
