Step 5: Build and Test your app on Android Step 3: Setup Google Login Plugin and functions Step 2: Create a Google project for authentication Step 1: Create a basic Ionic Angular Capacitor app
If you know certain steps, feel free to skip them I always go step-by-step for readers of all experience level. Confirm user’s authenticity from Google login, and then save user info in the same Firebase project itself.This is true if you already have a server and DB defined for your project Confirm user’s authenticity from Google login, and then save the user info in your own Database.In other words, there are two ways you can use Google login but this plugin does not connect your authenticated user directly to Firebase project. As you’ll see, the process of Google login involves creating a Firebase project etc. This Google Auth plugin supports 2 functions, across web, Android and iOSĪlso note that this plugin only helps you to login and logout using Google Auth. Hence, there is no need to fetch user’s profile information separately. Once the login is done, we receive user profile information in auth response itself. We will use the CapacitorGoogleAuth plugin by CodetrixStudio to authenticate the user. Just follow along with the tutorial and you’ll find it very easy to implement Google login in Capacitor. For Google login functionality, we’ll use the CapacitorGoogleAuth plugin by CodetrixStudio.Ĭapacitor plugins require a bit of configuration editing in Android and iOS files, but you don’t need any Android and iOS native expertise for that. PluginsĬapacitor has its own set of plugins available in the core itself, or with but it can also support Cordova plugins. You can read more about Capacitor vs Cordova in this article by Ionic. Capacitor CLI is locally installed, so different apps can have different Capacitor versions in your system.Capacitor has great PWA support in-built.We will do some similar changes for Google login as well. This give more flexibility to developers.
React Native - Please check this for Android and iOS.Ionic Angular (Cordova) apps - Please check this post.Since Google login is applicable in a lot of app frameworks, it is possible you landed here by (SEO) mistake. We will test the authentication on Web, Android and iOS. We will also retrieve user name and profile photo to show after login.
In this post, you’ll learn how to implement Google login in your Ionic Angular Capacitor apps.
