auth0-in-action

build authenticated google actions faster with auth0

Why did I build this?

There are a lot of great social integrations to be created on actions on google, but working with authentication is a friction point in building out these ideas. I want to help developers focus on building their awesome idea and avoid the potential case of someone getting frustrated with the process and give up. I wrote this blog to help you get started!

How to use this library!

import Authy from 'auth0-in-action'

// your actions on google code
app.intent('actions.intent.SIGN_IN', async (conv, params, signin) => {
    if (signin.status !== 'OK') {
        return conv.close('You need to sign in before using the app.');
    }
    
    const authy = new Authy("yourAuth0TenantDomainName", 
                            "auth0clientId", 
                            "auth0clientSecret");
                            
    const {oauth_token, username} = await authy.getSocialIdentity(conv.user.access.token);
    
    // do whatever you want with the access token -- like getting a users github repos
    conv.ask(`Thanks ${username} for signing for. What can I help you with today?`);
});
