Social authentication in GraphQL - graphql

Question

I am creating a backend which relies in Express and GraphQL which will serve clients apps (android and react).
I have been following this article on how to nail social authentication in GraphQL using passport.js.
The article uses passport-google-token strategy and is based on Apollo-server but personally I prefer to use express-graphql.
After setting my android app to use google auth and try to send mutation to server I get this error
Google info: { InternalOAuthError: failed to fetch user profile

name: 'InternalOAuthError',
message: 'failed to fetch user profile',
oauthError:
{ statusCode: 401,
data:
'{\n "error": {\n "code": 401,\n "message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",\n "status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"\n }\n}\n' } }
I believe token I pass maybe does not reach where it supposed but I cant figure out how to solve.
I have tested my token here https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo?id_token=MyToken and they are working correctly.
Here is graphQL config in app.js
app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP((req, res) => ({
schema,
graphiql: true,
context: {req, res}
})));
Here is google auth mutation
googleAuth: {
type: authPayLoad,
args: {token: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}},
async resolve(_, {token}, {req, res}) {
req.body = {
...req.body,
access_token: token,
};
try {
const {data, info} = await authenticateGoogle(req, res);
console.log("Google data: ", data);
if (data) {
const user = await User.upsertGoogleUser(data);
if (user) {
return ({
name: user.name,
username: user.username,
token: user.generateJWT(),
});
}
}
if (info) {
console.log("Google info: ", info);
switch (info.code) {
case 'ETIMEDOUT':
return (new Error('Failed to reach Google: Try Again'));
default:
return (new Error('something went wrong'));
}
}
return (Error('server error'));
} catch (e) {
console.log("Error: ", e);
return e
}
},
},
And here is my auth controller
const passport = require('passport');
const {Strategy: GoogleTokenStrategy} = require('passport-google-token');
// GOOGLE STRATEGY
const GoogleTokenStrategyCallback = (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) => done(null, {
accessToken,
refreshToken,
profile,
});
passport.use(new GoogleTokenStrategy({
clientID: 'MY_CLIET_ID',
clientSecret: 'SERVER-SECRET'
}, GoogleTokenStrategyCallback));
module.exports.authenticateGoogle = (req, res) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
passport.authenticate('google-token', {session: false}, (err, data, info) => {
if (err) reject(err);
resolve({data, info});
})(req, res);
});
I expected when client app submit mutation with token as arg the request will be sent to google and returns user data. How do I solve this.

passport-google-token is archived and seems deprecated to me. Why don't you try passport-token-google.
It can be used in similar way.
passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
clientID: keys.google.oauthClientID,
clientSecret: keys.google.oauthClientSecret
},
function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
return done(null, {
accessToken,
refreshToken,
profile,
});
}
));
module.exports.authenticate = (req, res) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
passport.authenticate('google-token', {session: false}, (err, data, info) => {
if (err) reject(err);
resolve({data, info});
})(req, res);
});
Hope this helps.
