In this tutorial we are utilizing Google+ Javascript API to fetch user Google+ Profile Details and Email address. It is purely OAuth2 Compatible login method and its secure.

Workflow is simple

  1. User Clicks on Login with Google Button on XYZ Website
  2. Google OAuth2 Popup opens and ask the user login to google account first.
  3. If Logged in, it shows the permissions that this website is requesting, then user accept this by pressing button Allow.
  4. Now the website receives the user information which are requested by the XYZ Website ( Login Scope )

Before you begin this tutorial, you actually need to setup a Project through Google Developer Console. You can follow google docs here.

Step 1: Create Project

Step 2: Set the Consent Screen details



Step 3: Create Web application Client Key and Secret



Now Client Key and Secret key successfully created.

Note: For javascript based login, we dont use Secret key, only Client Key is enough.


How to Google+ Javascript Login 

Add Google+ Javascript API Javascript Header
  <script type="text/javascript">
  (function() {
    var po = document.createElement('script');
    po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;

    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
  })();
  </script>

    <!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
  <link href="http://getbootstrap.com/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

            } else if (response['error']) {
                // There was an error, which means the user is not signed in.

                var email = profile['emails'].filter(function(v) {
                    return v.type === 'account'; // Filter out the primary email
                })[0].value;
                var fName = profile.displayName;
                $("#inputFullname").val(fName);
                $("#inputEmail").val(email);

    }; //End of Return
    })();
    
    function mycoddeSignIn(gpSignInResponse){
        gpclass.mycoddeSignIn(gpSignInResponse);

    1. Code itself is self explanatory.

      If you are Beginner you need to read the linked google API documentation to have clear understanding.

  15. Successful Solution to origin mismatch:

    In https://console.developers.google.com
    click on your project

    In Authorized javascript origins:

    If you are working in localhost you must type 3 urls

    For example:

    If the port is 80 then type:

    http://127.0.0.1:80

    and

    http://localhost

    and

    https://localhost

    And it works !!
