go google oauth example

The goal of this example is to show a soup to nuts implementation of google oauth.

Instructions:

1. You'll want to create a config.yml file in this folder, that will be where you put things like the google client / secret pair and other options.

An example config.yml:

googleAuth:
  clientID: "< YOUR CLIENT_ID HERE >"
  clientSecret: "< YOUR CLIENT_SECRET HERE >"
  hostedDomain: "< YOUR HOSTED DOMAIN HERE (ex: blend.com) >"

web:
  port: 5000 #up to you, this is a pretty standard default.
  baseURL: "< YOUR BASE URL HERE >"

Caveats:

• You must configure an oauth credential set in the google cloud console.
• You should add a local.app.xyz entry to that cloud configuration, and add a hosts entry map for that dns name to point to local host in /etc/hosts

  127.0.0.1 local.app.xyz

• You should then set your web > baseURL entry to http://local.app.xyz

  it is not recommended to run your app on http outside your own machine.

1. Start the app with:

> go run main.go

1. You should be able to go to http://local.app.xyz in a browser and have it talk to the (very basic) app.
