Description: Handling Google Auth2 sign-in and sign-out, for front-end and backend-flows, with and without cookies enabled
Author: Noah Lozevski
Latest version: 1.6.2

# vue-google-oauth2
Handling Google sign-in and sign-out for Vue.js applications.

This package is updated to support detection of disabled cookies. This causes issues when users try to login in incognito mode, and the iframe fails to load. This includes an extra flag, `cookiesDisabled` to check when the plugin is initializing. An external window is used to grab an authCode instead of the regular iframe in these disabled environments, and is passed back in same method outlined below (`$gAuth.getAuthCode()`).

## Installation
### Installation with npm
```
npm install vue-google-oauth2
```

### Installation with yarn
```
yarn add vue-google-oauth2
```

## Initialization
```javascript
//src/main.js
import GAuth from 'vue-google-oauth2'
const gauthOption = {
  clientId: 'CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com',
  scope: 'profile email',
  prompt: 'select_account'
}
Vue.use(GAuth, gauthOption)

```
Please Don't use `plus.login` scope. [It will be deprecated.](https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/quick-migration-guide)

### Initialization for Nuxt
1. creates plug-in file for nuxt

	```javascript
	// plugins/vue-google-oauth2.js
	// file name can be changed to whatever you want
	import Vue from 'vue'
	import GAuth from 'vue-google-oauth2'

	const gauthOption = {
	  clientId: 'CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com',
	  scope: 'profile email',
	  prompt: 'select_account'
	}
	Vue.use(GAuth, gauthOption)

	```

2. adds plugin to nuxt config file
	```javascript
	...
	plugins: [
	  ...
      './plugins/vue-google-oauth2'
	],

	...

	```

| isAuthorized | Whether or not you have auth | Boolean  |
| isInit       | Whether or not api init | Boolean  |
| isLoaded     | Whether or not api init. will be deprecated. | Function  |

## Usages
### Getting authorization code
The `authCode` that is being returned is the `one-time code` that you can send to your backend server, so that the server can exchange for its own access_token and refresh_token.

The `access_token` and `refresh_token` can be saved in backend storage for reuse and refresh. In this way, you can avoid exposing your api key or secret key whenever you need to use various google APIs.

```javascript
const authCode = await this.$gAuth.getAuthCode()
const response = await this.$http.post('http://your-backend-server-api-to-use-authcode', { code: authCode, redirect_uri: 'postmessage' })
```

### Sign-in: Directly get back the `access_token` and `id_token`

```javascript
const googleUser = await this.$gAuth.signIn()
// googleUser.getId() : Get the user's unique ID string.
// googleUser.getBasicProfile() : Get the user's basic profile information.
// googleUser.getAuthResponse() : Get the response object from the user's auth session. access_token and so on
this.isSignIn = this.$gAuth.isAuthorized

```

refer to [google signIn reference : GoogleUser](https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/javascript/reference/referencedocs#googleusergetid)


### Sign-out
Handling Google sign-out
```javascript
const response = await this.$gAuth.signOut()
```

## Extra - Directly get `access_token` and `refresh_token` on Server-side
To get `access_token` and `refresh_token` in server side, the data for `redirect_uri` should be `postmessage`. `postmessage` is magic value for `redirect_uri` to get credentials without actual redirect uri.

### Curl
```
curl -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&\
  client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET&\
  redirect_uri=postmessage&\
  grant_type=authorization_code&\
  code=YOUR_AUTH_CODE" https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
```

## FAQ
### The failure of initialization happens
You can check the brower console to check errors which occur during initialization.
The most of errors are from inproper setting of google oauth2 credentials setting in Google Developer Console.
After changing the settings, you have to do hard refresh to clear your caches.
### Type Errors
Follow the documentation provided [here](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/typescript.html#Augmenting-Types-for-Use-with-Plugins) to add `$gAuth` as a property for preventing lint errors.
