Methods and functions

The googleAuth(token, clientId) function allows you to use Google's authentication service. It takes the token (credential) and the Client ID (available in the 'credentials' tab of the Google Developer Console) as parameters.

const token = req.body.credential

await googleAuth(token, clientId).getUserName()
