How do I create a Django REST API + Google OAuth login with an SPA framework like Vue (e.g. Instagram, Twitter app like Login/Backend Django)?
To create a Django REST API + Google OAuth login with an SPA framework like Vue, you can follow the following steps:
1. Set up a Django project with a REST API. You can use the Django REST framework to easily create a REST API. Install the Django REST framework using pip, and add it to your Django project.
2. Set up Google OAuth2 authentication for your Django project. Follow the instructions on the Google Developers Console to create a project, add credentials, and configure OAuth2 authentication.
3. Create a Django view to handle the Google OAuth2 authentication. Use the `google-auth` and `google-auth-oauthlib` Python libraries to authenticate users using Google OAuth2.
4. Create a Django REST API endpoint that returns an authentication token. The token should be generated using Django's built-in `Token` model.
5. Create a Vue.js application to consume the REST API. You can use the Axios library to make API requests from your Vue.js application.
6. Create a login page in your Vue.js application that allows users to authenticate with Google OAuth2.
7. Once the user has been authenticated with Google OAuth2, use the authentication token from the Django REST API to authenticate the user in your Vue.js application. Store the token in the browser's local storage so that it can be used to make authenticated API requests.
8. Protect your REST API endpoints by requiring authentication. You can use the Django REST framework's built-in authentication and permission classes to restrict access to authenticated users.
9. Test your application to make sure it works as expected.
Example code for the Django view that handles Google OAuth2 authentication:
This code assumes that you have a custom user model with a google_id field that corresponds to the user's Google ID. You should replace this with the appropriate field for your user model.
