I am trying to set up google oauth2 using Passportjs and NestJS(Fastify as underlying HTTP framework). I am not able to initialize google auth screen and the error comes up every time I try. I have tried a few different ways to do this, but there seems to be a problem with the AuthGuard and the code breaks every time on this step. I am sharing a snippet of the controller here which is handling the route for initializing the auth screen.
Here is the controller:
import { Controller, Get, Post, Body, UseGuards, Req, Res } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AuthGuard } from '@nestjs/passport';
@Controller('auth')
export class AuthController {
@Get('google')
@UseGuards(AuthGuard('google'))
intializeGoogleLogin() {}
}
The Google strategy:
import { Strategy } from 'passport-google-oauth2';
import { PassportStrategy } from '@nestjs/passport';
import { Injectable, UnauthorizedException } from '@nestjs/common';
@Injectable()
export class GoogleStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy, 'google') {
constructor() {
super({
clientID: <cleintId>,
clientSecret: <clientSecret>,
callbackURL: `/auth/google/callback`,
scope: ['profile', 'email'],
});
}
}
The module looks like this:
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';
import { AuthController } from './auth.controller';
import { GoogleStrategy } from './google.strategy';
@Module({
imports: [],
controllers: [AuthController],
providers: [AuthService, GoogleStrategy],
exports: [],
})
export class AuthModule {}
Dependencies
"@nestjs/common": "^7.0.0",
"@nestjs/core": "^7.0.0",
"@nestjs/passport": "^7.0.0",
"@nestjs/platform-fastify": "^7.0.5",
"@nestjs/typeorm": "^7.0.0",
"passport": "^0.4.1",
"passport-google-oauth2": "^0.2.0",
"passport-google-oauth20": "^2.0.0",
Soon realized that PassportJS is meant to work with only ExpressJS and since I am using Fastify as an underlying HTTP framework, it was acting in an unexpected way.
I so wish for PassportJS to make themselves compatible with other frameworks soon.
