client side authentication

[lean]

I have a simple question. If I have authentication only on the client side, the scenario could be from a SPA, a mobile application, using hello.js or Firebase Authentication. What would be the best way to handle this?

Unfortunately this simple question does not have a simple answer 😉 There are many different ways to approach this but in any case, the server needs a way to verify the authentication information with the remote provider. What does the library/service you are using recommend for this?

I'm get the credentials of Google with the Google oAuth Sign-in / Log-in. In react for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-google-login
If I verify the user credentials with google-auth-library, how could I handle the user registration/session?

This should be more easily possible now with Feathers v4 authentication where additionally to oAuth browser redirect the oAuth strategies can also be used with an existing oAuth access token.

Please see the migration guide for more information. Closing this issue in order to archive this repository. Related issues can be opened at the new code location in the Feathers main repository.
