How to Integrate Google and Facebook Authenticate Using Angular 8

Authentication is an important component of any web application. It provides the security you need for your application, while also allowing users to easily register and log in. In this article, we will explain how to integrate Google and Facebook authentication into an Angular 8 application.

Overview of the Process

To integrate Google and Facebook authentication into an Angular 8 application, you will need to:

• Create a Google and Facebook App
• Install the authentication library for Angular 8
• Configure the authentication library
• Implement Google and Facebook authentication into the application
• Test the authentication flow

Creating a Google and Facebook App

The first step in integrating Google and Facebook authentication with your Angular 8 application is to create a Google and Facebook app. To do this, you will need to:

• Go to the Google Developer Console and sign in with your Google credentials
• Create a new project and enable the Google+ API
• Create OAuth credentials and copy the client ID and client Secret
• Repeat these steps for your Facebook app in the Facebook Developer Portal

Installing the Authentication Library for Angular 8

Next, you will need to install the authentication library for Angular 8. This library allows you to integrate your application with third-party authentication services. To install the authentication library, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install ng8-auth-lib --save

Configuring the Authentication Library

Once the library has been installed, you will need to configure it with your Google and Facebook credentials. To do this, you will need to add the following lines to your Angular 8 configuration file:

"providers": [
    {
        "name": "google",
        "clientId": "[your Google client ID]",
        "clientSecret": "[your Google client Secret]"
    },
    {
        "name": "facebook",
        "clientId": "[your Facebook client ID]",
        "clientSecret": "[your Facebook client Secret]"
    }
]

Implementing Google and Facebook Authentication into the Application

After configuring the authentication library, you can begin to implement Google and Facebook authentication into your Angular 8 application. To do this, you will need to:

• Add the authentication library to your application module
• Add the authentication service to your application
• Implement the authentication logic in your application controllers

Testing the Authentication Flow

Once you have implemented the authentication flow, you should test it to make sure it works as expected. To do this, you will need to:

• Log in with a Google or Facebook account
• Verify that the authentication flow is working as expected
• Log out and verify that the authentication flow works correctly

Integrating Google and Facebook authentication into an Angular 8 application is relatively straightforward. By following the steps outlined in this article, you will be able to securely authenticate users with their Google and/or Facebook accounts.
