# Google Login
|
|
|
|
Much like Facebook loginin, Firebase provides the ability to accept and sign in with a Google credential.
|
|
|
|
## Installing `react-native-google-signin`
|
|
|
|
To sign in with Google, we recommend using `react-native-google-signin`. This provides a native way of obtaining the users
|
|
Google accounts and their required `accessToken`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install react-native-google-signin --save
|
|
react-native link react-native-google-signin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Creating a credential
|
|
|
|
To generate a new credential for the user, simply call the asynchronous `signIn` method `react-native-google-signin` provides and create a new
|
|
credential from the `firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { GoogleSignin } from 'react-native-google-signin';
|
|
|
|
// Calling this function will open Google for login.
|
|
export const googleLogin = async () => {
|
|
try {
|
|
// Add any configuration settings here:
|
|
await GoogleSignin.configure();
|
|
|
|
const data = await GoogleSignin.signIn();
|
|
|
|
// create a new firebase credential with the token
|
|
const credential = firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
|
|
data.idToken,
|
|
data.accessToken
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// login with credential
|
|
const currentUser = await firebase
|
|
.auth()
|
|
.signInAndRetrieveDataWithCredential(credential);
|
|
} catch (e) {
|
|
console.error(e);
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The flow here is exactly the same as the rest of our app; logging in with the newly created credential will trigger our `onAuthStateChanged` lister to fire with
|
|
the new user, logging us into the application.
