MEN Stack with OAuth Template

This is a MEN Stack template that includes OAuth.

Use this to go build things! 🚀

To Use This Template

Replace <name-of-your-app-here> in the commands below with the name of your app!

git clone https://github.com/SEI-Remote/men-stack-oauth-template.git <name-of-your-app-here>
cd <name-of-your-app-here>

Once you are in the project directory:

rm -rf .git

Here's what your command line output should like after this step (note that the indicator that we are in a git repository is gone!)

The command line before and after running the rm -rf .git command. Before git:(main) is visible indiating that the directory contains a git repository, after the command it is not.

Re-initialize a git repository:

git init

Use whatever method you'd like to get your project on GitHub. If you're looking for speed though use the GitHub CLI to create a new project repository on GitHub:

gh repo create <name-of-your-app-here> --public --source .

Check out the docs here if you want to learn more about this command.

Run npm i to fetch the template's dependencies:

npm i

touch a .env file:

touch .env

Fill it with the following:

DATABASE_URL=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GOOGLE_CALLBACK=http://localhost:3000/auth/google/oauth2callback
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GOOGLE_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SESSION_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Replace the DATABASE_URL, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_SECRET, and SESSION_SECRET with values that you provide.

Delete this README.md and finally, make an initial commit:

git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push -u origin main

You're done!
