A small example that shows how to add authentication to your API using Google.
Clone the repo and install the dependencies by doing
$ npm i
Copy the .env.example file and name the copy .env. Configure in the .env file the information
to contact the Google API (read the beginning of this post).
Run the application by doing:
$ npm start
Endpoints
- http://localhost:3000/ health check endpoint (public)
- http://localhost:3000/auth/google endpoint to authenticate with google
- http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback the google auth workflow redirects here, this endpoint returns the token to access the protected endpoints
- http://localhost:3000/api/v1/me protected endpoint returns information about the logged user.
To call the protected endpoint you need to pass in the token
$ curl -v -H "Authorization: Bearer <generated token>" http://localhost:3000/api/v1/me
$ curl -v http://localhost:3000/api/v1/me?access_token=<generated token>
