Wanna add a 'Log in with Google' button in your app in minutes ?
Here is how I did it !
Environement
- Node @11.0.0
- Vue @3.0.4
- Npm @6.9.0
- Nuxt @2.6.3
- Vuetify @1.3.3
Docs
Nuxt : https://nuxtjs.org/
Firebase : https://firebase.google.com/docs/
Firebase installation
To install firebase to you Nuxt project simply run the command
npm install firebase --save
and create a file like firebase.js
into your pulgins
directory.
Go to your Firebase console and create a new project. after registering your project you will be able to find your firebase config object.
here how to find it : http://support.google.com/firebase/answer/7015592
(our app type is web app
)
now that you have your firebase config object let's register it into your nuxt plugin !
// /plugins/firebase.js
import firebase from 'firebase'
let firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: "api-key",
authDomain: "project-id.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://project-id.firebaseio.com",
projectId: "project-id",
storageBucket: "project-id.appspot.com",
messagingSenderId: "sender-id",
appID: "app-id",
}
let app = null
if (!firebase.apps.length) {
app = firebase.initializeApp(config)
}
export const db = app.database()
don't forget to add '~/plugins/firebase.js'
to your nuxt.config.js
in the plugins
section.
And you will be ready to go !
at this time you will still need to
import firebase from 'firebase'
into the pages.
Sign in with popup
I will be using the signInWithPopup()
method provided by firebase in this exemple
Button
<v-btn outline fab @click="googleSignIn" color="#4285F4"><v-icon>fab fa-google</v-icon></v-btn>
Method
googleSignIn () {
this.provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider()
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(this.provider).then(result => {
// store the user ore wathever
this.$router.push('/home')
}).catch(e => {
this.$snotify.error(e.message)
console.log(e)
})
}
the user informations are stored into
result.user
. up to you to store theme where you want !
Well done ! 👋
that's it ! if your firebase app is correctly registered, you should be able to fetch your Google accounts informations !
let me know if you had difficulties with firebase ore if i made any mistake, i'm still learning !
