react-new-google-login v0.1.5

New Google Login for React

The Google Sign-In JavaScript Platform Library for web has been deprecated and will not work for existing uses after Mar 31, 2023 nor for newly created Google Cloud projects.

This React component creates a Google Login button using the new Google Identity Service for Web introduced in early 2022 and on successful login generates a JWT that can be used to authenticate other Google or custom services.

Installation

npm install --save react-new-google-login

Usage

const App = () => {

  const error = (err) => console.log(err);
  const CLIENT_ID = 'google-client-id-abc123'
  
  return (
    <div className="login-button">
