Waterlock Google Auth
waterlock-google-auth is a module for waterlock providing a google authentication method for users.
Usage
npm install waterlock-google-auth
Set the following option in your waterlock.json
config file.
-
allow is an optional filter - if you omit it, all domains will be allowed.
-
redirectUri is also an optional property - use this if you want to override the computed redirectUri. This is useful for when you want to send an auth code to waterlock instead of having waterlock handle the entire auth flow for you. Useful for when you're developing an SPA which handles the authentication with something like Torii (EmberJs). See https://github.com/wayne-o/ember-waterlock-example waterlock will validate the auth code with the provider and retrieve an access token which can be used to setup a session and return the JWT to your app
"authMethod": name: 'waterlock-google-auth' clientId: 'CLIENT_ID' clientSecret: 'CLIENT_SECRET' allow: 'DOMAIN' 'USER@DOMAIN' redirectUri: 'redirectUri'
Direct your user to /auth/login
to initiate the oauth request. The callback uri is /auth/google_oauth2
if successfuly authenticated a user record will be created if a user is not found one will be created using the waterlines findOrCreate
method
Grabbing Google field values
By default, waterlock-google-auth stores the user's googleEmail
in the Auth model. By providing waterlock with some field maps you can hydrate the user object with extended information. The cost of this is a second call to google's /me api
To grab and store this, you will need to modify the attribute fields in your Auth.js
model...
// api/models/Auth.jsmoduleexports = attributes: modelsauthattributes firstName: 'string' lastName: 'string' gender: 'string' timezone: 'number'
...and then add a fieldMap
object within the google authMethod in your waterlock.js
config file which matches your model's fields to google's fields.
authMethod: name: 'waterlock-google-auth' clientId: 'CLIENT_ID' clientSecret: 'CLIENT_SECRET' allow: 'DOMAIN' 'USER@DOMAIN' redirectUri: 'redirectUri' fieldMap: // <model-field>: <google-field>, 'firstName': 'given_name' 'lastName': 'family_name' 'gender': 'gender'
