This is a basic template for how one can create an authorization pipeline with Wanderer's Guide's API.
There are various sites like Netlify, you could probably use GitHub pages w/ actions instead, I just found Netlify to be the easiest to setup.
-
Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Quzzar/wanderers-guide-api-auth-workflow-template.git -
Within the main project folder, install dependencies:
npm install -
Setup Netlify project. There are a few ways to setup a project. I recommend importing as an existing GitHub repo.
Once setup, every time you push new changes to your repo, it will automatically re-deploy your site.
Now that your site has been deployed, you should have a generated link (which you can always customize later).
-
Acquire API credentials from Wanderer's Guide Create a new client under Account page.
Instead of google.com, put the link to the oauthCallback netlify function for your deployed site (ex. https://my-site.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/oauthCallback).
After creating, if you open the dropdown, you will now see a generated client ID and API key for your client.
-
Set environment variables in Netlify
From your Netlify main site overview page go to
Site settings > Build & deploy > Environment.Add the following environment variables, referencing the values you just generated on Wanderer's Guide.
WG_API_KEY = <your API key> WG_CLIENT_ID = <your client ID> WG_AUTH_STATE = <optional string, see WGs API docs> VITE_BASE_URL = <the base URL of your netlify project (ex. https://my-site.netlify.app)>
After adding these environment variables, you will need to re-deploy your site to apply these variables.
-
Optional - Add .env file for development.
You can add a .env file to the main project folder and include the same values from the previous step in it.
-
Done!
Your site should now work properly, as shown in the demo.
