Auth Backend

Google OAuth2 API does not allow for long-lived tokens in front-end applications (the token only lasts 1 hour, after which user must be explicitly prompted again - bad UX).

This backend is used to generate a more-persistent token.

Installation

1. Clone this repository and open current folder:

   git clone https://github.com/maxpatiiuk/calendar-plus
   cd calendar-plus
   cd backend

2. Create Google OAuth2 client

   • Create 2 Client ides - one for development, another for production
   • Set type to "Web application"
   • Set authorized redirect URI to https://kgbbebdcmdgkbopcffmpgkgcmcoomhmh.chromiumapp.org/ (replace kgbb... with the extension ID)

3. (optional) Edit the configuration in ./.env, ./.env.development and ./.env.production

4. Copy ./.env.example into ./.env.development.local and ./.env.production.local and fill it in according to the instructions in that file and the credentials you received in the previous step.

5. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Development

1. Run npm run dev to start the development server

Production

1. Create new vercel.com project from this repository
2. Change the "Root Directory" setting to current directory (/packages/backend)
3. Set environment variables as per ./.env.production.local
