Setup Guide

Create an OAuth application

Follow the steps on the Google documentation (opens in a new tab) to create a new application and get a client ID and secret.

Install the package

npm install remix-auth-google

Create the strategy instance

app/services/auth.server.ts
import { GoogleStrategy } from "remix-auth-google";
 
let googleStrategy = new GoogleStrategy(
  {
    clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    callbackURL: "https://example.com/auth/google/callback",
  },
  async ({ accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile }) => {
    // Get the user data from your DB or API using the tokens and profile
    return User.findOrCreate({ email: profile.emails[0].value });
  }
);
 
authenticator.use(googleStrategy);

Setup your routes

app/routes/login.tsx
export default function Login() {
  return (
    <Form action="/auth/google" method="post">
      <button>Login with Google</button>
    </Form>
  );
}
app/routes/auth/google.tsx
import { ActionArgs } from "@remix-run/node";
import { authenticator } from "~/services/auth.server";
 
export let loader = () => redirect("/login");
 
export let action = ({ request }: ActionArgs) => {
  return authenticator.authenticate("google", request);
};
app/routes/auth/google/callback.tsx
import { LoaderArgs } from "@remix-run/node";
import { authenticator } from "~/services/auth.server";
 
export let loader = ({ request }: LoaderArgs) => {
  return authenticator.authenticate("google", request, {
    successRedirect: "/dashboard",
    failureRedirect: "/login",
  });
};
