![Login Demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spyshiv/google-login-vue3/18073aa38600f5f759933be28f8ead3be0916c4e/src/assets/google-login.gif)

A lightweight and customizable **Vue 3 component** for Google OAuth 2.0 authentication supporting both **JWT-based** and **Authorization Code-based** flows.

---

## 🏠 Installation

```bash
npm install google-login-vue3
```

---

## 🚀 Usage

### Import the component:

```vue
<template>
  <GoogleLogin
    :clientId="YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"
    mode="JWT"
    :oneTapLogin="true"
    @success="handleSuccess"
    @error="handleError"
  />
  <!-- Optional: mode="JWT" (default) or "code" -->
  <!-- Optional: Enables Google One Tap (:oneTapLogin="true") in JWT mode -->
</template>

<script setup>
import GoogleLogin from "google-login-vue3";

const handleSuccess = (response) => {
  console.log("Success response:", response);
  if (response.credential) {
    console.log("JWT Token:", response.credential);
    // Send the token to your backend for verification
  } else if (response.code) {
    console.log("Authorization Code:", response.code);
    // Send the code to your backend for access token exchange
  }
};

const handleError = (error) => {
  console.error("Google login error:", error);
};
</script>
```

> Replace `YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` with your actual client ID from [Google Developer Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials).

## 🔐 Authentication Modes

### 1. **JWT-Based Authentication (ID Token Flow) [Default]**

- Google returns a **JWT (ID Token)** to the frontend.
- No backend interaction is required (unless token validation is needed).
- Ideal for apps using the ID token directly to verify identity.
- One Tap Login is supported via the `oneTapLogin` prop.
- Uses the native Google Sign-In button.

---

### 2. **Code-Based Authentication (Authorization Code Flow)**

- Returns an **Authorization Code** to the frontend.
- You must send this code to your backend to exchange for access/refresh tokens.
- Best suited for secure OAuth flows requiring backend token handling.
- Custom UI can be used via the default slot.

## ⚙️ Props

| Prop          | Type    | Default | Description                                                |
| ------------- | ------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `clientId`    | String  | —       | **Required.** Your Google OAuth 2.0 client ID.             |
| `mode`        | String  | `"JWT"` | `"JWT"` or `"code"` depending on the flow you want to use. |
| `oneTapLogin` | Boolean | `true`  | Enables Google One Tap login (only valid in JWT mode).     |

---

## 🤩 Customization

- In `code` mode, you can customize the login button using the default slot.

Example:

```vue
<GoogleLogin mode="code" :clientId="clientId">
  <template #default>
    <button class="my-custom-btn">Sign in with Google</button>
  </template>
</GoogleLogin>
```

---

## 🔄 Backend Integration (For `mode="code"`)

- Use the authorization code to exchange tokens securely from your backend.
- Recommended libraries:
  - Node.js: `google-auth-library`
  - Python: `google-auth`
- Follow Google's [OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#exchange-authorization-code) documentation.

---

## ⚠️ Notes

- Configure **JavaScript Origins** and **Redirect URIs** in your Google Cloud Console.
- For One Tap login, ensure the domain is verified.
- Pop-up blockers can prevent login. Notify users if login fails due to browser settings.
- Always handle `success` and `error` events properly.
