library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A Seneca.js plugin for Google OAuth2 authentication, used as a service provider with seneca-auth. Version 1.0.0 is the current stable release, last updated in 2016. It wraps PassportJS Google strategy and provides a default action to transform Google login data. Key differentiator: integrates with Seneca microservices framework, allowing custom overrides of user data preparation. Requires seneca-auth and seneca as peer dependencies. No active maintenance, but functional for legacy Seneca applications.

'', clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET ?? '', urlhost: process.env.HOST ?? 'http://localhost:3000', serviceParams: { scope: ['profile', 'email'] } } } }); seneca.ready(() => { console.log('Google auth plugin ready'); });
