Google Login in Express with PassportJS & JWT
The article provides a guide on implementing Google Authentication in an Express.js application using various technologies. It outlines the necessary steps, including setting up Google OAuth credentials and configuring PassportJS for authentication. Additionally, it details the required changes to the user model and the creation of routes for handling Google login.
