Integrating Google Authentication in an Angular App with a Node.js REST API

I’m in the process of adding Google’s login feature to my Angular 8 application, which works with a Node.js and Express REST backend. However, I’ve been unable to locate a reliable library that facilitates this integration. Has anyone successfully implemented a similar solution or can suggest an alternative library to simplify the process? Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

In a recent project, I implemented Google authentication using Passport with the passport-google-oauth20 strategy, which proved to be reliable in an Angular and Node.js setup. Although the configuration required careful adjustment of callback URLs and managing sessions between the front-end and API, the integration provided a robust solution. Detailed documentation was invaluable during the process, and thorough testing was necessary to ensure that both the client and server handled tokens properly. This approach offers a balance of simplicity and reliability that may suit your project requirements well.

hey, i used passport-google-oauth2 in a previous project with anglular-node backend. it needed some tweaking, but it managed to integrate properly. might be worth a look if you’re in a pinch. hope this helps.

hey, im playing around with angular-social-logn for google auth. its a bit quirky but might do the trick? anyone tinkering with this area have more insights or alternative tweaks? would luv to hear more abt ur experyences

hey, tried using firebase auth for google login in my angular-node app. added smooth token handling with minimal config. maybe give it a whirl if passport isnt working out. hope it helps!
