I hope you enjoy this longer tutorial style video! Let me know if you enjoy this style of content - been experimenting a lot with different types of videos! Please make sure to comment + like - the algo loves it

[@heliorosa8148]

blurs email, leaks email in the console output. lol

[@jaymartinez311]

I prefer the longer videos. They provide more context and show me how you think as a developer with golang.

[@amardeepsingh1168]

Can you please extend this video how auth can utilised for auhtnicating other api ?

[@jaymartinez311]

@@amardeepsingh1168 I asked for a full series on this actually 😃 @MelkeyDev hey man i see opportunity. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Maybe even a paid course some day. A lot of us are a bit off in putting all these pieces together and sometimes the examples are to complicated, require to clone and work on a project we didn’t create ourselves or minimal with the, oh you can figure it out 😂🫡. Just saying.

[@BryceChudomelka]

The state parameter passed from login to callback differs, thus is not secure from CRFS.

[@shintaii84]

“I do not want you to show my email” a few second later the email is printed out in the console.

[@CrazyLuke11]

Nice 😂

[@jaymartinez311]

Maybe a whole backend tutorial series to combine it all and we all become golang ninjas 😅

[@AzzynTeam]

A complete implementation of authentication with cookies, permissions, middleware using this library would be great help. Thanks for share your knolage ^^

[@MelkeyDev]

I really appreciate this comment

[@banafish]

i agree, even just authorization on routes would be really great

[@hrqmonteiro]

Would be nice to see beyond from that, like storing the User in your "user" table in a database. This way you can handle a signup and signin for the user. Couldn't find any example of that online. In other languages is plenty of it, like Node with Prisma and Nextauth for Oauth.

[@theangelofspace155]

Maybe not editing that much. Show the whole setup. Maybe redo this making a vite react app (todo) with go as the backend, chi as api server, postgres for the database (show how to connect to the databased) and auth (can use goauth but instead just printing the user, actually use it and show the worflow with the database). So a full stack tutorial. We will watch even if it is a couple hours. If it goes above an hours break it doen on parts like, "setting the backend" , "setting the frontend", "adding posgres driver", etc.

[@brotherthegrest]

The one video i needed for my project

[@banafish]

I think there are too many jumpy cuts. I followed this very closely while looking at the repo and the video leaves out the "beginAuthProviderCallback" function, without which this won't work. But most importantly I don't understand the use of context here and would have liked more details about that. On the upside it made me curious so I looked it up.

[@MelkeyDev]

Appreciate the feedback banafish

[@martingallauner]

Awesome video! Exactly what I was looking for. Fun fact: I watch your video on 0.8x speed

[@esra_erimez]

A small creature is sitting under your nose. I know you can't see it so I thought I'd point it out for you. Great video by the way, I've been binge watching your channel.

[@MelkeyDev]

Hahah thank you The creature is gone in the newer videos :)

[@RubberGopher]

You should've used `r.Context()` when you use `r.WithContext` instead of `context.Background()`. If the client closes the connection, you do not want to waste time on the auth flow. Take advantage of the context that comes with the request.

[@SuperOmercohen]

I think you need to first implement the integration with google oauth yourself to understand how things work and only then go to libraries

[@nnamdi6739]

How about performance consederations? if I did not need more than 3 oauth services, using the built in go oauth package may be a better choice, what's your take, but at the end it all make sense what to choose

[@meirionlayton6077]

Great video, has helped my out with implementing this exact thing in my project! I think having a way to view the final code for at least the implementation of the goth authorization functions in the backend could be helpful. You mentioned copy and pasting 2 of the 3 functions from goth accross to save video time, but being able to see the end result of that and how it all should fit together could help make it clearer for people. Very helpful video regardless, thanks.

[@MelkeyDev]

That's a great idea!

[@rudy-anconi]

You can call it a complete tutorial when you store the user on the database, setup the cookies and create a profile page.

[@MelkeyDev]

I can add it to a future tutorial if you want, I didnt want to overload with so much information into one video.

[@emil_l889]

Let’s goooo Go auth video dropped, putting a suit on one sec!!!

[@joseph0x45]

noice, I struggled a little bit to implement github oauth in my Golang x Sveltekit app recently. Will probably rewrite it using goth cos it looks so much cleaner than my implementation. That editing tho! 🙌

[@joseph0x45]

@@CuongNguyen-gu9flhey, sorry but I ultimately ditched the github oauth all together xD not sure if you still want the repo link after hearing that

[@ezrahel]

Melkey, it's not clear... You keep skipping some process and I end up getting "you must select a provider" on my screen

[@user-xv2kz7zj6w]

Helpful vid! However wondering what the purpose is of the cookie store? Does this send a cookie back to client?

[@Rahman-xm7zm]

The cookie is for storing acsess token on the client. To make your app more secure, the access token should not be passed directly to the user. Instead, create a session token that is sent to the user as a cookie. The app will maintain a mapping of the session tokens to access tokens on the server side (most likely a database).

[@lcarv20]

As you said at the beginning, I have been looking for a video like this, great video!! Ps: How does teej feels about you using vsode?

[@charleschen4093]

Thanks man! love this content

[@BryceChudomelka]

Your code does not work. :) After the callback, check state from the url query and then check your state, they are different. In other words, not secure to CRFS and thus invalid.

[@MelkeyDev]

My code works :)

how can frontend know if user is authenticated??

get gud kid

[@iliassglitch]

Incomplete useless video. 1. You define getAuthCallbakcFunction to handle the route "/auth/{provider/callback" which you never use 2. You never show the actual auth route /auth/{provider} which you route to in your react app's handleLogin function 3. You just print the user in your getAuthCallbackFunction which you never use
