Google Passport authentication

We have simple module available in npm for goggle authetication name passport-google-oauth20

Consider the following example In this example have created a folder namely config having the passport.js and google.js file in the root directory. In your app.js include the following

var express = require('express');
var session = require('express-session');
var passport = require('./config/passport'); // path where the passport file placed  
var app = express();
passport(app);

// other code to initailize the server , error handle

In the passport.js file in the config folder include the following code

var passport = require  ('passport'),
google = require('./google'),
User = require('./../model/user'); // User is the  mongoose model

module.exports = function(app){
  app.use(passport.initialize());
  app.use(passport.session());
  passport.serializeUser(function(user, done){
      done(null, user);
  });
  passport.deserializeUser(function (user, done) {
     done(null, user);
  });
  google();
};

In the google.js file in the same config folder include following

var passport = require('passport'),
GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth20').Strategy,
User = require('./../model/user');
module.exports = function () {
passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
        clientID: 'CLIENT ID',
        clientSecret: 'CLIENT SECRET',
        callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback"
    },
    function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
        User.findOne({ googleId : profile.id }, function (err, user) {
            if(err){
                return cb(err, false, {message : err});
            }else {
                if (user != '' && user != null) {
                    return cb(null, user, {message : "User "});
                } else {
                    var username  = profile.displayName.split(' ');
                    var userData = new User({
                        name : profile.displayName,
                        username : username[0],
                        password : username[0],
                        facebookId : '',
                        googleId : profile.id,
                    });
                    // send email to user just in case required to send the newly created
                    // credentails to user for future login without using google login
                    userData.save(function (err, newuser) {
                        if (err) {
                            return cb(null, false, {message : err + " !!! Please try again"});
                        }else{
                            return cb(null, newuser);
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        });
      }
  ));
};

Here in this example, if user is not in DB then creating a new user in DB for local reference using the field name googleId in user model.
